The view from the rooftop of the Taj is probably the best you're going to find in Agra, perfect with a beer to watch the sunset. Our room was terrible though. Ask not to be put in the first floor balcony room which is the far right, next to the road. The shower spat out dribbles of water (so we... More

We stayed in this hotel just for a night. Except the location, there was nothing special about this hotel. We had reserved the luxury room (the best type of room in this hotel) through the internet. When we arrived, they told us that the main power is down, and they had to use emergency power which is not sufficient for... More

We stayed in Hotel Kamal for a night. The location was excellent where it was a stone throw away from the Taj Mahal. When we arrived we opted for the cheaper room on the ground floor. However, the cleanliness in those rooms were poor where the toilets were full of cockroaches. Besides that, the floor was very dusty and the... More

We did not stay here but were recommended to go and eat for the view (which was amazing), of the Taj Mahal at sunset, from their rooftop restaurant. The vegetarian meal was good and reasonably priced too. If you are near the south gate in the evening climb up and have a look!

We stayed here for 2 nights, with the main intention of checking out the Taj Mahal. The location of hotel was great. We were advised to go to the Taj early in the morning to avoid long queues and the heat. The location of the hotel helped as it is located about 5-7 min walk from the west gate into... More

This hotel in Taj Ganj offers a beautiful location to shoot Taj Mahal in the evenings in low light with lovely coffee and chai. It is 10 minutes walk from the East gate and Taj can be viewed from the terrace even if you are not a photographer you are bound to enjoy the view. Although we were not staying... More

Kamal is in one of the best locations you could ask for. The view from the roof top restaurant (with great food too) is amazing. The Taj is a lot closer than it looks on a lot of the photos. The hotel is less than 5 minutes walk to the South Gate and less than 10 to the East/West gates... More

Negatives: No service, the receptionist doesn't help you with the luggages, he seems to know everything but actually he doesn't. He has no idea about how long will take to go to Mathura by... More

This is a good choice in Agra, looked at a couple of rooms and chose the upgraded room for the standard room price. The bed was very comfortable, sheets are clean, and the room is clean. It is very centrally located, has a so-so rooftop restaurant with a great view of the Taj. LP says it is slightly obscured by... More
