It used to be a beautiful hotel. What a shame. Lots of things look very old. Anyway the location is great, just 5 minutes by car from Taj Mahal - and you can watch it from the bar/restaurant on the roof. Swimming pool with a water fall is amazing and peaceful. The rooms are very spacious and quiet, nice decor,... More

Sarovar Portico is a very nice option fo stay in Agra. It is quite near to the Taj, it is comfortable, and not extremely expensive. The Rooms were very clean and well maintained, and the staff were fiendly and helpful, and even were attending to a few of our strange needs. The Buufet spread at breakfast was good, and otherwise...

Stayed for a day and night at this property. They have a good lobby and the welcome is really nice, and makes you feel important. The people at the reception though may appear indifferent but dont worry they get their job done. The room is quiet nice, minimum decor, but sufficiently spacious. House keeping is really bad. They have to... More

Its wonderful option to stay in Agra for quite a few reasons: 1: Its very close to the Taj Mahal. 2: Prices are reasonable. 3: Hotel staff are polite and helpful. 4: Rooms are clean and well managed. 5: Food quality is nice. However, travellers experience could be uplifted bit more by maintaining more professional travel desk, controlling noise level... More

The most memorable thing about my stay at this hotel was the bad service. When you request a wake-up call at 4:15 AM because you have to catch a train, you expect to receive a wake-up call at 4:15 AM and not at 4:40 AM. And when you already pay an outrageous amount of money for a WiFi connection you... More

We were booked to stay in the Howard Sarovar Portico hotel on our recent visit to Agra in April 2012 but after seeing the room we decided to check out and book into another hotel. The room was dirty and the pillows still had stains on it from the previous occupants in the room. The toilet looks like it was... More
