Having been to Agra before and only going back due to my son wanting to se the Taj Mahal yet again, I looked for a conveniently located hotel. Due to the usual January fog the trains were late and we ended up not actually spending the night at the Sheela Inn but had a room in the hotel from midday... more

The Sheela Inn is an offshoot of another, equally cheap, hotel which you can only hope is a bit nicer than its grubby sister. The hotel is like a prison - dank, bleak and a bit depressing. The room was reasonably spacious enough though the wall was crawling with ants which the staff were entirely disinterested in. The bathroom was... more

I contacted the hotel with Lonely Planet author recommendation. It is okey if you have to stay there. I am sure there are better places. No hot water!!

We booked a room by contacting the hotel directly via e-mail. After a two week delay we finally were confirmed. When we were approaching Agra I called to reconfirm and learned we had been moved to the Hotel Sheela Inn instead of the Hotel Sheela which is just outside the East gate to the Taj Mahal. The hotel Sheela Inn... more
