Hotel Sidhartha

A very nice inexpensive hotel with the best location if you want to visit the Taj Mahal for sunrise. The people are friendly, the garden cafe has decent food and is very layer back.

This place is really only for the location and close proximity to the west gate of Taj Mahal . Hotel room was clean and spacious and was all you need if you are out exploring most of the time , the wifi was turned off alot and had to ask for them to turn on , and also had to ask to turn on the hot water but was easily fixed once asked ,this was pretty standard i found in the whole of India and no big drama at all .... All in all this place is great if your cool with Budget , like real budget !! and there to visit Taj Mahal and explore most of the day..Friendly staff and prompt check in and out .. Would recommend if in Agra for Taj Mahal and Red Fort and check out Sadar Bazaar, Awesome market to get lost in for hours !!

I would sum this hotel up as adequate, cheap and cheerful, very basic but clean and as two older females traveling alone we felt safe here. Shower didn't work but we were only here for one night so that really wasn't too much of a problem. We only came to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and the location of this hotel is perfect for that. Staff were helpful when asked. Food was good and the little garden nice enough. We couldn't use the terrace because of the monkeys but that is not the fault of the hotel. All in all, we arrived late in the evening and left early the next day to see the Taj at sunrise, back for breakfast and then off again and this hotel was perfect for that.

The main selling point was roof terrace, which was not open (maybe never was?). Room had no hot water. Bedsheets had holes. Close to Taj Majal. Security was good as they lock main gates at night.

Hotel & restaurant good value, well located to the Taj Mahal and ticket office. Beware of monkeys. It is dirty outside the hotel. Hotel owners must exert influence on their neighbours to keep the area adjacent to the hotel clean.
