We had a nice time staying with the Family at this Guesthouse. We enjoyed the Mother's home-cooked meals and the friendly chats with the Father. The Son is very attentive and helpful and is a really sweet guy. The location is not the best but it is not too far from the Taj Mahal if you like to walk it,... More

We arrived in Agra by train in the morning and left the same evening. This place was really convenient for us this day - it was only 150 rupees from Agra train station and we booked a single room for the day so we had somewhere to freshen up and leave our bags for the day. Although we paid for... More

I had a couple of nights at the Friends Paying Guesthouse recently and was reasonably impressed with what I found. The staff were pushing for me to write a review so here it is! For the money the location is pretty good and the Taj is only a 15 minute walk away. The rooms are reasonably nice and clean though... More

Lovely little family run guesthouse with good value for money rooms. Plesant rooms with restaurant. As they are just decorating there will be new rooms available shortly and the restaurant will be extented to a roof top terrace. Felt very much at home, looked after and safe. In walking distance to the Taj Mahal. Sightseeing advice available in several languages.... More

Just if we had had energy to change our place to stay we would have moved. This was an afwul place to stay! We had to stay in the ground floor in a room which was just almost on the street. The window of the room was halfly replaced with carton and we were afraid someone coming in. Door of... More

When we arrived at friends paying guest house, admittedly, it was a little scruffy around the edges just as many of the places we had stayed in India, but they showed us to our room which was newly decorated, clean, simple, functional. they told us they were in the middle of renovation so the other rooms I'm sure will be...

Okay... I have been in India for three months. I have stayed in my fair share of run down not-so-great accommodations. THIS ONE REMAINS THE WORST! The first thing to consider is that the rooms are damp and dank and dirty. This may have been tolerable for a night in Agra, but the stay got significantly worse after we tried... More

There was nothing recommendable about this dump of a place, which is a 15 minutes walk from the Taj Mahal. The room was the dirtiest we've slept in, the bathroom appeared to have not been cleaned for months, there were no windows and the air was sticky and damp. The owners were OK friendly, I guess - trying to sell... More

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights. The rooms are very basic but it's a bed for the night (I think we paid around £2.50 each per night!) When booking here people must remember that it is a family home so you will be living with them. They are a lovely family who will help you with anything... More
