Collection O Tajganj West Gate Formerly Hotel Host — Hotel in Agra

Hotel is located at a street leading to Taj, this is a boon and bane at the same time. ||||As all mentioned The view of Taj from the hotel is amazing. Rooms are ok, we had booked a family room as well, it was very big with 2 baths which is a good time saving option. ||||The weather was too cold, room heater as well as thick light weight comforters were available. Cleanliness need be improved overall, ||||Chef and all in all guy Anu was very helpful in guiding us to the hotel when we got detoured in the way. All the food he prepared was amazing and fresh. be it dinner or breakfast all were good. ||||The location as I said is a bit problem as you can get your vehicles nearby., so have to carry luggage for few meters. ||||Overall good comfortable stay and surely...

You get what you pay for here. We picked this purely for the location - it’s minutes walk from West & East gate so ideal if you want to be first in-line at sunrise.

The rooms are very basic. Take your own toilet paper and sheets/silk liners.

The A/C works, the hot water does not.

The rooftop restaurant has a stunning view with reasonable food. It’s great value but nothing special.

But completary food Quality is very bad, don't book room with food.

Despite other reviews, taxis can get here. It’s tough as the streets are narrow and there is a radius that older cars can’t go within but they can and do go to the door. Otherwise a tuktuk will happily take you all the way or just from the big roundabout if your taxi refuses...

From my experiences in India this hotel was the most "western" experience. I traveled through MP and UP, mostly rural travels once we left Delhi.

The staff here were courteous and even offered up front the use of hot water and toilet paper, which aren't common in hotels in India. The rooftop in early December had quite a few mosquitoes at night, but otherwise was a gorgeous view of the Taj and very relaxing.

As it can be with anywhere in India, if you plan on resting during the day you should likely plan earplugs ahead of time, as the building is stone and there is lots of echoing noise from the busy life happening all around your room.

Upon my next visit to Agra I would definitely plan to stay with...
