I was here two nights and took advantage of the offer of a free pick-up from the train station. Despite being nearly two hours late the pickup was still there with a sign and it was most welcome. The staff here are undoubtedly welcoming and will bend over backwards to make your stay enjoyable. The guesthouse is about kilometre away... More

We were greeted by Yusuf who I imagine is the owner's son, and who I had been emailing regarding our reservation. We originally planned/booked to stay for 3 nights but as our plans changed, we were then only going to stay for one. Yusufdid not make this an issue and was happy for us to just stay for the one...

The staff are very helpful and friendly, really good family atmosphere. Not a bad location either, quiet area with easy access to the taj. I would recommend this to anyone staying on Agra. The rooms are basic and good value for money.

Location is good for one thing, entrance to the quietest taj gate. But don't expect to find any where decent to eat or hang out with a cold drink or view of the taj anywhere close by. Rooms are basic, budget and a bit dirty and the bathroom doors are rotten. The staff are really nice though which is why... More

Great location, Very close to Taj Mahal and they can book you a good tour with a nice local Tuk Tuk man. Family run business, all very friendly, warm and helpful with all your needs. Rooms are nice and good prices… food was a little on the pricey but amazing. Great chill out area with free Wi Fi.

I totally forgot to review this place. I stayed at Friends house for 2 nights. I had a pleasant stay at this place. This place is managed and operated by a family. I think they are friendly people.
