We booked a non AC room through Agoda for about 850-900 rupees. We arrived late in the evening and had no problems getting the room. But when we checked out it seemed they didn't know about our Agoda booking cause they tried to charge us 500 rupees for the room. (So Agoda charged us 250 -300 rupees more than they... More

The hotel is just 5 minutes from the Tah Mahal and the view from the rooftop restaurant is fabulous. Over breakfast or in the late afternoon we spent many hours drinking masala tea or coffee observing life on the rooftops of the city (flying kites, training pigeons, monkeys) and the street below (cows, religious parade, local traffic). The hotel is... More

Gross!! This place was recommended in Rough Guide but do NOT stay here. We had to ask for another room that had a lock that worked on the door. The management is very shady here. They tried to charge us more then what was quoted when we called and arrived. We would have gone somewhere else but everything else was... More

We stayed here for one night in a Rs700 room after arriving on a late train, if it hadn't been so late we would have left immediately. Despite managing to receive a recommendation from Rough Guide the room itself was filthy without bedding, towels or toilet rolls. The one sheet that was on the bed had not been changed as... More

Friendly staff in general, restaurant on top with OK food, room was reasonably clean and decent value. I knew it was one of the better options because my taxi driver recommended against it (ie. they do not give commissions) yet they were almost full when I was there. Good location - can see the Taj from the top and entrance... More

In 3 we shared 2 rooms, one was quite spacious, but the other was only big enough to put the bed in. Ok for a night, but nothing special really.

This review is probably biased. We came here after having a booking at hotel sidartha - which I refused to stay at. We were shown the huge room with the round bed - 1500 rupees per night - and took it. Overall, the Taj Gang area is not an area I would recommend staying. Very gross, very dirty. There was... More

Bathroom never worked and room just didn´t seem like it was cleaned. Yes, very inexpensive, but just like everywhere around Agra, very dirty!

This is a really nice place with lot's of different room options to fit a variety of budgets. We went for one of the smaller rooms and it only cost us Rs250 a night, However we saw one massive room with a big circular bed if you can afford it. The whole place was fairly clean, but not quite spotless.... More

We paid Rs 400 for 3 ppl sharing a large double room, with a very thin “mattress” on the floor for the 3rd person. Attached toilet and cold shower – they gave us a heating element to heat up buckets of hot water. There was a roof restaurant and seating area but we didn't eat there. We experienced regular power...
