“Not recommended (unless you like cockroaches)”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

Killed a cockroach in bathroom but missed a couple more. (Friend said he felt one crawl on him in the night). Lobby good. Staff OK. Friendly enough. Restaurant OK but nothing special. Beds seem clean, but pretty dirty floors/walls. Internet for 75Rp/ 30 min. Fairly standard. Location OK. A few restaurants and shops around. Friend had nice shalwar kameez made in a few hours by a little tailor nearby. Pretty busy road though, so not for the timid to cross. I did not like walking here at night on my own.
The only reason to come to Agra is to see the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort. Although Agra is quite dirty and ugly, these heritage sites are definitely worth seeing.

“Pleasant Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

If you are travelling to agra i recommend this hotel only. Its a great hotel i mean with the location. class of service, quality of food. Its very near to the Taj. Though the hotel rooms looks little old type still its worth. The auto drivers are familiar hotel you wont have problem to locate it.Staff are co-operative buy little late to response. But value for money.

“Never again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

The hotel looks fine from the outside and the lobby actually looks quite nice. More than what you would expect from a budget hotel. But the rooms are tiny and nothing short of horrible. Everything looks old and rather unclean. The bed was also very short, my feet were hanging off the bed and I'm just 1.68 m, so not sure what a tall man woud do... The only good thing about the place is the Costa cafe next door. Would never come back again and certainly wouldnt have booked it in the first place,reading all the bad reviews on tripadvisor, but stayed here as part of a group tour.

“Visit Agra - may stay here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

If you visit Agra, stay at Amar Yatri Niwas to visit Taj, Agra fort and others. Convenient place located at Fatehabad Road. From CCD to P Hut, ATM and mkt-all are stone throwing distance. Rates are moderate but rooms are small and food is expensive. Vacant space in room is approx 6 sq ft. But amenities are good. car parking is road side, but security is there.

“Stay away if you have asthma or allergies - No ventilation cockroach spray”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

Don't go by the hotel lobby. The rooms are not ventilated. They have cockroaches (we checked 4 rooms plus the hallways) The hotel rooms and hallways have been sprayed with a combination of room freshners plus cockroach spray. This really bothered our 5 years old who has allergies. We had to move on the 2nd day after he fell very sick.

The included breakfast was idli (avg), sambhar, parathas (good) and curd. The juices are from packaged cartons fed into dispensers. The tea is tea bag oriented and coffee is coffee powder based.

The staff is courteous and helpful but the hotel stinks (literally).

Stay away would be my recommendation
