Taj Street Hostel, hotel in Agra

Located in Agra, a 17-minute walk from Taj Mahal, Taj Street Hostel has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Super close to the Taj. Also fans in each of the bunks was a nice touch I haven't seen before. Also staff were nice and called me a tuk-tuk on short notice to go to the train station.

Zigzag Homestay, hotel in Agra

Located in Agra, 2.3 miles from Taj Mahal, Zigzag Homestay has accommodations with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

As a solo female traveler, safety is my number 1 priority. I felt very safe in Zigzag Homestay. The location is quite far from the center, but it’s easy to use Uber to get a taxi. Moses (owner) has created a connected environment between all the guests during my stay and put me in contact with other solo traveler guests which made it easier to become friends and do activities together. I felt taken care of by Moses and he really took the time to hangout with all the guests. Sometimes we will just be lounging in the office chitchatting which created a great environment between all the guests. Moses also helps organize food tour and Taj Mahal tours. He is very informative and has a lot of knowledge about India and is happy to share it. Facilities were modest as it is a homestay, but clean and sufficient for a short stay.

Superinn home stay& guest house, hotel in Agra

Located in Agra, 1.1 miles from Taj Mahal, Superinn home stay& guest house provides accommodations with free WiFi and free private parking.

The place was nice. The host waited on the rooftop for us so we could easily find the place. We were welcomed with some chai and a nice talk. The room was a little bit small but it had everything. The only downside was that there was no AC. We knew that but it was a little bit warmer than expected. We didn't need any blankets but they weren't provided (i think if you asked you could get one). We dindt stay in the tourism season so we didn't get a change to taste the food :(. Overall its a nice place to stay for a few days. It has everything and the host is really nice and can help you with everything!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I booked a leisure stay at Hotel The First online for a family trip near the Taj Mahal. The hotel offered large rooms, great location, all-day dining, and great restaurants. It was also budget- friendly, which made the experience excellent.

    Best hostel I've stayed in in a long time, The location is perfect, a 5 minute walk from the taj and a view from the rooftop restaurant you will never forget. Amazing staff, food, drinks and the private room was unreal with really good wifi and aircon, went in off season so prices were very reasonable. 100% recommend to everyone, backpackers, family's, this hostel has a great atmosphere.

    Excellent I recently stayed at the hostel Joey's in Agra, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The comfortable beds, and clean facilities made for a great stay. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with any questions or requests. The location was perfect, with easy access to the Taj Mahal and beautiful surroundings. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Agra for a memorable and budget-friendly stay😊

    I couldn't have asked for a better stay in Agra than at Goyal Hoteliers! The staff's warm hospitality and the hotel's commitment to safety truly set it apart. Plus, the budget-friendly rates make it accessible to all travelers.

    Joey's hostel is located right near the Taj Mahal, you can't get much closer & is very convenient for your visit. The view from the rooftop is really nice. Stay here if that is what you are looking for - great location & cheap prices!

    Stayed in the dormitory - It's cheap, compared to a few other hostels down the road. So if you're really looking to save ₹100 or ₹200, this is your place. However, my recommendation is to spend that extra amount and get a much much more comfortable stay. They do provide lockers with keys.

    Budget accommodation with a superb location. Just few meters from Taj Mahal gate. The room is nothing special, the window couldnt be open, many mosquitos and hot room. BUT - you are going for a cheap budget hostel so you should expect it. If you are looking for something cheap and close to Taj Mahal, it is good choice for you ;)
