They say you get what you pay for well, Palmstay is a budget accomodation clean and tidy. The biggest selling point is Varun and his family. They make you very welcome and nothing is too much trouble. He gave us so much information on where to go what to do and all the secrets to having a safe stay in... More

Simple, clean and in a quiet location a short walk from the East Gate of the Taj. What really makes this place unique though is the hosts. Varun and family are absolutely charming, friendly and informative and there's seemingly no end to their hospitality. A shame we were only there for the one night really, but I cannot recommend them... More

Rooms, facilities and cleanliness are good. The local area is quiet, secure and within walking distance of the Taj Mahal. The dining area is currently limited to sofas and tables on a landing, with adjacent kitchenette with fridge and microwave available for guest use. When booked, main meals are served from the family kitchen below and the standard is very... More

I agree with another reviewer who said that Varun and his family made us feel we were visiting friends rather than staying at a hotel. We stayed for two nights and met all of the family frequently. Varun used to come upstairs (where the guest rooms are) and have a chat with us. He gave us countless pieces of advice... More

The family that run this place are very nice people. The owner was extremely helpful in sorting my agenda out with me in the short time that i had in Agra. He even lent me his laptop. The bnb is handy for the Taj Mahal so you can get up and be at the east gate for 6.00am to avoid... More

Varun and his wonderful family made us feel that we were visiting friends instead of staying at a hotel. When we arrived, Varun and his wife sat with us and chatted over tea. We then went shopping together with his mother (when we returned, Varun's very cute little boy asked "what did you buy?!"). They helped us not only with... More

The family at Palmstay is simply lovely! Varun is very helpful and his mother made us a lovely breakfast. Our room was very comfortable, and the bathroom was great. Among Indian cities, Agra is one of the least pleasant, so we particularly appreciated the warm welcome. If I could suggest an improvement, it would be to find some better drivers.... More

We had a great stay at Palmstay - just one night, but two full days (indeed, we got great value, given our early morning arrival the first day and late afternoon departure the second). Varun and his family are very hospitable, helpful, and laid back in the best possible way. Breakfast was delicious; and we were steered to a terrific... More

True is that rooms are fine but not luxurious, but hey, you get what you pay for in a tourist hot spot like Agra. We stayed only one night (not much income for Palmstay), but were welcomed as if staying for a week. The owner and his family are extremely kind and helpful and have lots of useful recommendations.

We are 2 girls from Europe travelling in India for 6 weeks and this was one the 2nd homestay we stayed in and we were very pleased with the whole setup and ambience created by vandana and her family - they looked after us like family and were very easy going people with no problems in asking too many questions...
