We were shown a few different rooms and chose the least awful one. It was only 500 rupees a night but we would have paid more for something nicer. The bed was like a wooden plank, there were mosquitoes, the room was dirty. The bathroom was pretty horrible but it had a hot shower which was redeeming. The sink didn't... More

Very good value in Agra as there is lots of competition in Taj Gang. As other reviews state as well, the rooftop view is the selling point. The restaurant food is average and the service decent. The room itself wasn't too bad and for about $8 a night I wasn't going to complain. Nothing too fancy here but a good... More

I stayed here for one night (that is all was my travel plan for Agra) after reading the reviews on this website and seeing photographs of roof top restaurant. I was not at all disappointed as my expectations were not much from this property after reading all this. My room was basic with double bed, bathroom, sofa and TV with... More

The view of the Taj from the rooftop of Shanti Lodge is probably the best one out of all the guesthouses in Agra. The Taj feels so close that you could almost touch it! If you're not staying at the Shanti Lodge, it's worth it to just grab a few drinks or lunch at their rooftop restaurant to admire the... More

The place it's dirty and the toilets are a disaster! The room are big enough but you can "feel" the dirt. The rooftop restaurant have a "you need to be there" view who worth all the pain! I found good travelers to hang out with and i had nice times in the rooftop, but the manager wasn't very nice...

Offers a great view of Taj Mahal and is very close (5-10 min walking distance). Food is ok. However, we slept on the top floor, next to the rooftop terrace, and that turned out quite noisy both in the morning and in the evening.

Me et my girlfriend stayed here in feb 2012. probaly got the worst and cheapest room they had up and in the back right under the resturant.We looked at all of them. It was cold and we asked for more blankets, they kindly gave us some.. Yes its a bit dirty and yes its very close to Taj. The price... More

Stayed here for 3 nights in a room in the back of the hotel. Room was basic, clean, had hot water and one good channel on TV. Key thing was it a 5 minute walk to the South gate of Taj. Didn't have to hire a rickshaw. We asked for an extra sheet and two towels and management gladly supplied... More
