Kamal was a recommendation from a fellow traveller. I knocked on the door late at night after my train arrived in Agra past midnight. Taj Ganj is deserted at that hour. After a long, slightly tense wait, the door was answered by a young guy with a towel round his waist on the mobile to his girlfriend and I was... More

Hotel kamal did the job. We stayed for two nights in March 2012. The room was reasonably clean and had a fan and TV. Their was AC but it wasn't working (but it wasn't too hot so we weren't that bothered). The staff seemed very nice and were welcoming and willing to help. The location is superb and the roof... More

Great basic hotel near the south gate of Taj Mahal (walking distance to all gates). Room was very updated. Nice view from rooftop terrace (restaurant is downstairs).

Nice view from one spot on the rooftop. Location just on the southgate of the Taj. Walk to the westgate for early entree is 10 minutes. All (or almost all) hotels and b&b is this whole area have rates between terrible and good. So what can you expect in any hotel or b&b ??? Also Kamel. it has a lot... More

The ONLY bright spot is that, it is very near to the Taj! You even see the Taj from the Rooftop. Otherwise, you have very little to choose from, noisy, not-so-great food, room service not good.... However, they've some new rooms at ground floor, quite ok, but u'll have to spend a fortune to stay there. Overall, ok for one... More

Firstly, don't have too high expectations towards Taj Ganj (and Agra in general) - it is quite clear that the only reason people stay there overnight is to be close to the Taj, which matters especially, if you want to visit it at sunrise. Rooms were indeed small and rather dirty. On the other hand, we were actually positively surprised... More

The hotel is very near the south gate. We stayed for one night for 1000RM room No.006. It's clean and comfortable with hot water. We like it. It has rooftop restarant. We can sit on the roof to see Taiji Marhal.

Everyone told us Agra was a dump so the room was what we expected. Dust a cm thick everywhere, broken tiles all of the bathroom and one tap didn't work. Rooms had a fresh lick of paint on 3 walls but the last wall needed repapering as it was covered in drips on paint from them doing a rough job... More

Dirty rooms, filthy bathrooms, no hot water, & view of Taj is almost entirely obliterated by a huge tree - can only see Taj from one corner table of rooftop restaurant - they advertise "supreme views of Taj from rooftop restaurant" - NOT! Stairwells & landings outside rooms dirty too. Touts always hanging around outside reception (& in), not great... More

Upon arrival I was shown 3 different classes of room from a very nice one for 1,500R down to the one I took at 650R (one of those above reception.) The double bed was actually 2 singles pushed together. It was quite clean and let in a good amount of light. There's free wifi and the signal was strong (when... More
