Who needs hot water when it’s so warm in Agra and when you’re a stone’s throw from the East Gate of the Taj? The locatio
Pros:

Unbeatable location!! Good wifi, good AC (tiny bit more expensive room for AC but worked very well). Lovely, friendly, helpful staff.

Cons:

The hot water to our room didn’t work even though we paid a small amount extra for a room with hot water.

Pros:

The Taj Mahal was really very close, which is good for going early in the morning, but the bathrooms were not hygienic, there was no hot water, and it was very bad that there was no hair dryer in the room after all, when you take a shower with cold water, you need to dry your hair. But the location was good, and the staff were also nice.

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
