This was mediocre. As we arrived we thought we saw a rat scuttling around which despite this being India is still relatively unusual for us during our three months here so far. We were shown two rooms, one on the inside with no windows which I think he was hoping we would take, and for the same price a room... More

The owner is very nice, but the place feels very cheap. The rooms are so-so but the location is very, very good. Everything is with-in a 10 min walk.

Hotel host is located right outside Taj Mahal west gate, just 200m away. Rooms are basic, but clean and quiet. Beds were rock-hard, but nevertheless the location and price was more important for us. Very good option for staying few nights when visiting the Taj. There is also nice food and room service for only 5% extra!´

Room we stayed in was very basic, also not the cleanest, but this is India! We had hot water in the shower, which was good. Hotel staff were nice and food in their restaurant was good, they also deliver it to your rooms for 5% extra charge. They also have a rooftop place with nice view of the Taj, but... More

We stayed 3 nights at Host Hotel. The rooms are spartan basic but clean. The staff is very friendly. Host Hotel is located very near to the west gate of Taj Mahal in a quite street. The rooftop shows a fantastic sight of the Taj Mahal

Apart from the unparalleled views of the Taj from the roof, which really are spectacular, this is without question the worst place ive ever stayed. The padlock on the door looked as though you could virtually pull it off, the bed was so hard and uncomfortable we may as well have been sleeping on the floor, literally rock hard and... More

Very welcoming and eager to please staff. They are willing to help you in any shape and form. The owner himself sat down and helped me plan the next 10 days of my trip. Very cool! They also have free wi-fi and a beautiful rooftop to chill and eat while looking at the taj mahal.

We arrived in Agra around 12pm in the evening and this hotel had been recommended in the rough guide as somewhere cheap but clean so we thought given its location we would land there!! We only managed to stay for one evening or 6 hours!! The rooms were filthy with stained sheets and toilets that had not seen a clean... More

The worst hotel that i've ever seen. Dirty, no windows, toilets horrible, bed and sheets ... no comment. Not expensive but doesn't worth 1 roupi. We've left after one hour... Avoid !!!
