沢山助けてもらいまいました。 ありがとうございました!!
Pros:

清潔で使いやすかったです。
楽しいオーナーの方とお話しもでき、旅のアドバイス、手配もして頂けてとても助かりました。
寝坊して叩き起こされ、お陰様で電車に間に合う事が出来ました。
本当に助かりました。ありがとうございます!

Cons:

おすすめのお店に連れて行ってもらったけれど、あまり種類が少なく満足出来なかった。おすすめのお店も良いけど、バザールなど自然の町の店での買い物は楽しみもあると思う。

Pros:

The location is close to Taj Mahal which only took us 15 to 20 minutes walking. It is not at the main street so at night we could sleep very well without noises.
The staff is kind and always wants to help you.

If you are looking for some place close to Taj Mahal is a very good option!

Amazing
Pros:

Wonderful place, very close to the west entrance of the Taj Mahal, about a 20-minute walk. If you buy your ticket online, you can pick up the foot protector before the entrance gate, free of charge, upon presenting your ticket, and you even get a bottle of water. The guesthouse is clean, comfortable, and located in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. The breakfast, available for an extra fee, is wonderful. Mr. Arif is a great host, very helpful, friendly, and ready to help with tourist tips.

Clean and comfortable homestay, perfect for female solo travelers
Pros:

As a solo female traveler who rarely stays in homestays or private rooms, this experience exceeded my expectations. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, with exceptional attention to detail. The owner was very attentive, understanding the needs of international travelers, and arranged everything from pickups to safe city transport. He also helped to plan and organise day trips to nearby places.

The food, both breakfast and dinner, was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, all at a very fair price. The location was perfect, with the Taj Mahal within walking distance, making it safe and convenient even for a solo traveler to go on foot early morning. The description was accurate, and all amenities (air conditioning, hot water with good water pressure etc.) were provided and functioned well.

Highly recommended and really good value for the price. I would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

Nothing I could point out

Great Place for Solo Female Travelers
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay of almost one week in Agra and highly recommend these accommodations, especially for solo female travelers and anyone looking for a comfortable, hassle-free experience.

The accommodations were clean and had everything I needed, including powerful air conditioning and fast internet, which was reliable enough for video calls and online work. The neighborhood was safe and walkable, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and ATMs. Plus, it was within walking distance of the Taj Mahal and the Taj Nature Walk, making sightseeing incredibly convenient.

The best part of my stay was the hospitality of the hotel owner. He was incredibly kind and helpful, going above and beyond to assist with everything—from arranging transportation to the Taj Mahal and a tour of Agra Fort to helping me get souvenirs at fair prices. He even helped me with last-minute plans for the Holi festival, organized an airport pickup from Delhi after I missed my flight, and ensured I had snacks and water for my early morning departure. His prices were very reasonable, and he coordinated every detail seamlessly.

Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay in Agra, with a friendly and attentive host who truly cares about his guests. I would absolutely stay here again!
