The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra
Staying at The Oberoi Amarvilas was an absolute dream come true. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary room upgrade to a balcony suite, offering breathtaking, direct views of the Taj Mahal—truly unforgettable. What sets this hotel apart is that it’s the only one allowing guests to drive directly to the Taj Mahal entrance, eliminating the need to walk. For those early morning visits to catch the sunrise, the hotel thoughtfully provided a packed breakfast with coffee—perfect for enjoying by the iconic monument. The service was impeccable throughout our stay, and we were even gifted a beautiful handcrafted marble souvenir upon checkout. It’s not just a stay—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re visiting Agra, this is the only place to stay.
Alibaba’s Indiana Homestay
Staying at this homestay in September was an unforgettable experience. The host, Ali, is simply amazing—warm, incredibly kind, and highly professional. The room was beautifully decorated with great taste and spotlessly clean; I truly didn’t want to leave. I wish I had stayed longer so I could have tried the delicious home-cooked meals prepared by his wife—definitely a must-try on my next visit! What made it even more special was how Ali kept sharing stunning photos of the flowers on his lovely terrace. It felt like being part of a quiet, peaceful home away from home. If you're visiting Agra, this place is a gem—exceptional hospitality, serene atmosphere, and genuine warmth. I’ll be back!
Hotel Thor
Staying at Hotel Thor in Agra was an absolute delight. The rooftop bar is a standout feature—perfect for a quiet evening with a great view of the city, especially during sunset or sunrise. We enjoyed dinner up there, and the food options were surprisingly good, offering both local flavors and international dishes. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with excellent attention to detail. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, always friendly and prompt with assistance. It’s clear this place values guest experience. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a romantic getaway, Hotel Thor delivers on every level. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Agra.
Dá Bungalow - A Vacation Abode
This charming bungalow is a true gem for anyone seeking peace and tranquility. Located just a short distance from the city center, it offers a quiet retreat with fresh, clean air—perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle. The host is incredibly warm and welcoming, always going the extra mile to ensure a comfortable stay. The property is immaculately clean, down to the smallest detail, and the on-site kitchen serves delicious, home-style meals that are both satisfying and authentic. It's an ideal spot for families or small groups looking for a peaceful getaway. Despite being slightly off the main tourist trail, it's still easily accessible by local transport, making day trips to nearby attractions hassle-free. I highly recommend this hidden paradise—every bit of the experience lives up to the 10/10 rating, and I’ll definitely be returning.
Hotel Sahibs LightHouse
The location was quite challenging to find—despite asking multiple local drivers and locals, we couldn’t get clear directions. It ended up being a bit of a hassle navigating to the hotel. While the building has a unique look, the overall experience didn’t live up to expectations. The room was decent but lacked standout features, and the service felt a bit slow. Not the easiest place to reach, especially if you’re not familiar with the area. I’d recommend choosing a more centrally located option next time.
Big Brother Hostel Hotel
Staying at this hostel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Agra. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the Taj Mahal, making it incredibly convenient for early morning visits. The staff couldn’t be more welcoming or helpful. When there was a language barrier, they simply called the owner, Bobby, who speaks flawless English and quickly resolved any issue. Everything about the place works perfectly: the Wi-Fi is fast and reliable, the air conditioning keeps the room cool and comfortable, and the rooftop terrace is stunning. With two levels, the upper deck offers a breathtaking view of the Taj Mahal and the surrounding neighborhood—watching monkeys swing through the trees from up there is pure entertainment. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s part of the experience. Highly recommend this gem for anyone visiting Agra.
Fairfield by Marriott Agra
Staying at this Marriott property in Agra was a fantastic experience overall. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short ride from the Taj Mahal, and public transport access is seamless. I especially appreciated the on-site dining options; the food was consistently good, with a solid breakfast spread that offered great value. What truly stood out was the view from certain rooms—some overlook the iconic Taj Mahal, making morning coffee or sunrise views absolutely unforgettable. Plus, the hotel is located above a shopping mall, so you have McDonald's and a supermarket right downstairs—perfect for grabbing snacks or essentials without leaving the complex. The staff were friendly, attentive, and efficient throughout my stay. Clean rooms, reliable service, and excellent value—it’s hard to beat for travelers visiting Agra. Highly recommend this as a top choice if you're planning a trip to this historic city.
Sunita Homestay
This was our first homestay experience in India, and we were genuinely impressed. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. They served delicious homemade meals at very reasonable prices—fresh, flavorful, and a great value. If you're looking for something different, there are plenty of local restaurants within walking distance. The location is unbeatable—just a 10-minute walk to the Taj Mahal, which made morning visits for sunrise absolutely effortless. Everything about this stay was perfect: the hospitality, the food, the convenience, and the peaceful atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for more. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Agra.
Shiv Kothi - Homestay
Staying at Shiv Kothi was one of the most memorable experiences during our trip to Agra. The homestay itself is beautifully designed with a modern yet cozy vibe—clean, well-organized, and full of character. The host spoke excellent German, which made communication so easy and personal. The whole family went above and beyond to help us, even arranging a spontaneous day tour with a private German-speaking guide and driver. Everything was seamless—from pickup to sightseeing—and we were able to visit all major attractions efficiently without any hassle. The tour was highly recommended and truly worth every minute. The only minor downside? The immediate surroundings aren’t particularly scenic, but honestly, it doesn’t take away from the overall experience. If you’re looking for a warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully-run stay in Agra with great local hospitality and a touch of luxury, this place is a must-book. Highly recommend!
Rich Grand Hotel
Absolutely perfect stay! The location is ideal for exploring Agra—right next to the metro station, making it super easy to get to the Taj Mahal without any hassle. The room was spotless, the bed incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a baby. Staff were friendly and helpful with everything. It’s rare to find such a great value with top-tier service, and this place truly deserves every single point. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Agra.
FabHotel the Urban Inn
We booked two rooms at this property, and unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. Despite arriving late in the evening, our rooms weren’t ready on time—there was a significant delay before we were finally handed the keys. When we entered, we noticed dust still lingering on the furniture, which raised concerns about cleanliness. The key card didn’t work properly, and it took several hours to get a functioning one, causing unnecessary stress. To make matters worse, the hallway was extremely noisy throughout the night and even started early in the morning, making it nearly impossible to sleep. The lack of basic amenities, poor maintenance, and disruptive environment made the stay very unpleasant. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable or quiet stay. It’s definitely not worth the price, and I’d avoid it in the future.
The Taj Homes
Staying at The Taj Homes was absolutely perfect for visiting the Taj Mahal. Located just a short walk away, we woke up early to catch the sunrise—the view was breathtaking and so peaceful. The hotel is in a great spot with plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby, making dining easy and enjoyable. Our room was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed including fresh towels, soap, and 24-hour hot water. The staff were friendly and helpful, and as a family, we felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay. It’s rare to find such a convenient, reliable, and welcoming place—especially with such an unbeatable location. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Agra.
