Inexpensive hotel close to Taj-Mahal is a plus. It is worn out, noisy, with limited amenities. Staff trying, but too few people speak decent English.

At first arrival it is difficult to find. It is off the main road and no signs. However very quiet from the busy and noisy main road activity. Don’t expect daily cleaning of room (if you stay longer than one day). If cold, ask for a heater.

We spent two days at this hotel. Very clean and good service. It's a bit difficult to find, but they offer a free pick-up from the railway station, which is very good. It's near the Taj Mahal, but do not try to get on foot - dirt and chaos in the streets are amazing. Minuses for the hotel are the weak wi-fi, the television has only one program, the furniture in the bathroom are quite broken. However, the price / quality ratio is very good and I highly recommend this hotel.

decent hotel near Taj Mahal
Positives:location of hotel is very near to the West Gate of Taj Mahal. guests have to walk along narrow lane to get to the hotel. room was clean. spacious bathroom but old shower fittings. there was a cafe not far from the hotel - Fauzi something - serves delicious Indian food at reasonable prices. try the chicken masala. excellent!
negatives: the hotel restaurant is located on the main street itself which is a few meters away from the actual hotel. it seems to be a designated lunch stop for tour groups from what we saw. hence the prices were rather steep. try eating a few meters down that road at a cafe called Fauzi something. cheaper and so much tastier

Excellent budget choice for a day or two in Agra
My two children (8 & 11) and I stayed here during a 24 hour visit to Agra. It is about 200 m from the west entrance to the Taj Mahal, allowing repeated visits with ease. It is also a very short auto rickshaw ride from Agra Fort {which we liked lots more than Delhi's Red Fort}.
It is a tiny hotel, attached operationally to the larger Maya Hotel. The arrival is a bit discouraging as you go down a very narrow dirt laneway. But the hotel itself was excellent. The desk staff were effective and nice and the helpers were pleasant. The first room we were shown wouldn't have worked for us as a threesome but the next (Room 2) was very nice and cheerful, well-appointed and with lots of space. It had a good queen bed and a nice window seat that worked well as a bed for my 8 year old. The bathroom was excellent tho' the shower was weak. The small fridge kept water very cold. You can have good, affordable meals in the restaurants of the Maya `hotel (100 m away, with two restaurants: AC & roof top too). And all this for only about Rs2200 for all three of us.

Close to Taj Mahal and other historical sites.
It was good to have a room with a window, room was clean and had a fridge. The Wifi was a bit slow and cut off after 12 midnight. The restaurant was very good, just unfortunate it was so far away.

Our experience at the hotel has been most satisfying, the hotel layout and rooms are open and well ventilated. Central location is handy for doing the sights, about 3 kms to city palace.

Perfect - budget friendly but comfortable!
This hotel was so affordable I was a little nervous about how the room would be but it was surprisingly nice! Everything was just what you needed, nothing too fancy but everything was just right. The hotel is a 10-15 minute easy walk to the Taj Mahal which is why I booked it and the breakfast at the restaurant was good and not too expensive. The staff was great and very welcoming. I would absolutely stay here again!

Crawling with bed bugs
We arrived after 12 hours of travel to find the beds in both of our rooms covered in bed bugs. Literally hundreds. They offered other rooms but clearly any place with that many bugs has them everywhere. We had to find another place to stay at midnight which was frustrating and challenging. Unless they do a fuuuuull fumigation I would never recommend this place. The rooms looked nice, as did the bathroom... But no.

Inexpensive place
Nice enough place; cheap; pleasant staff; quieter location away from the street, but still in the middle of action; rooms are clean but basic; watch out for the monkeys

Good rooms for the price
Impossible to find and impractical for anyone travelling by car, but otherwise a very nice place. Down an alley with no parking or even drop off spots. Staff were nice and room was very clean and decently comfortable. Easily walkable to the Taj.

Easy walk to western gate of the Taj.
Good location, very friendly staff and a lot of money has been invested to make the bedroom we used look great. Down a short grubby alleyway ... but that's not their fault.

Hi, I am J P Shrivastava. A brief Stay at Ray of Maya Retreat and Resort. Staff was cooperative. However No lift facility for upper floors, found inconvenient to climb steps, particularly for elderly persons. Staircase needs to be covered with anti skid mats.

The tuk tuk driver recommended by the hotel staff was excellent! Gave us a really good day of sight seeing.
Room was a bit smaller than expected with the third bed being a hard mattress on the floor. Would reccomend groups of 3 booking a two bedroom one.
Staff were super attentive and always around to help
