Ok ok for common man.
Pros:

Garden is unique there but found elsewhere. A few rooms looks good. Other are just anything.

Cons:

Very costly. Not even geyser. Hotel has poor quality products. Food is worst for that they charge high price. I have ordered butter chicken and roti. Chicken was plastic type and not easy to eat. Next day I had joint problem. May be sanghi asked to add a little arsenic trioxide.

You won’t find a better location for the price.
Pros:

Hotel Sheela is an oasis in the chaos of Agra. The rooms could use a coat of paint to freshen things up but over the place was great for the price. We ate breakfasts and dinner there and the food was very good. The staff was great, too.

This hotel would benefit with a major maintenance and upgrade.
Pros:

Nice location and nice garden.

Cons:

When we arrived, we were told that room we had booked, doesn’t have hot water. (What hotel bath room doesn’t have hot water). But if we paid another 500 rupees we could upgrade and have hot water and air con. We agreed and upgraded, but the air con wasn’t able to be adjusted, so we couldn’t use it along with the tea making items, as the sockets didn’t work. And the last complaint was that the toilet seat wasn’t connected to the pan.

Good location, definitely not worth it though
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Our pillows were mouldy and we were unable to sleep on them for the two nights we were there. The bed didn’t come with any kind of top sheets just two unwashed blankets, when we requested a sheet for the double bed we were given two sheets that were torn in half so didn’t cover the bed and kept coming apart as we slept. There was mould everywhere, the bathroom was covered. The general smell of the room was so vile that it kept waking us up in the night. The bed was so hard that my boyfriend and I now have serious back and neck pain. The staff were very sweet but the actual place was below any kind of standard

It was welcoming and lovely
Pros:

It is located very close to Taj Mahal. It is our second time staying at this place. Staff was really nice . Even though the rooms are pretty basic and old, location wins. Good for a max 2 night stay. They also have a restaurant that offers food at a reasonable price. It’s a good place to stay if you wanna visit Taj Mahal for sunrise. It is located in no car zone , so you have to take your luggage on foot . But the staff really helped to carry our luggage to the hotel. Luggage with wheels would be useful here.

Cons:

Bathrooms can be improved. Everything looked pretty unclean and old. Rooms were not fully clean . Cups have collected dust .
