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.

Clean & comfortable stay in Agra with a great host, Moses. The sunrise Taj Mahal tour he runs is fantastic: informative guide who speaks clear English and he knew all the best spots for photos. Moses goes above and beyond for his guests. When I was as worried about how to make my next bus (the stop was at a highway toll plaza far away) he arranged a good tuk tuk driver who called the bus driver for me to confirm exactly where he needed to drop me. And Moses checked in with me to make sure I got to the bus stop and to my next destination ok. He also has great recommendations for Agra and other places in India. So if you’re looking for the best stay in Agra, I highly recommend Zigzag!

Joey's Hostel Agra is well set in the center of Agra, and provides a shared lounge, free WiFi and a terrace. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a grill.

They were quite eager to have the payment upfront, making follow-up calls and ensuring the payment was done even before we had a chance to see the property. Unfortunately, this eagerness didn't translate into a satisfactory stay. What we found was a very basic, setup that was far from ideal for a family. The reception staff didn't seem to understand our concerns at all and just focused on promoting the property further. Disappointed with what we saw, we ended up cancelling our booking and finding accommodation elsewhere

Located in Agra, a 16-minute walk from Taj Mahal, Big Brother hostel Hotel provides accommodations with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

All what I care about a hostel honestly, it’s about how clean the place is and this hostel it’s so comfortable cus how clean it is, and also how quiet the place is, I could rest perfectly, not noisy. I had the opportunity to meet new people from different cultures. Also it’s 600mts away from the Tag Mahal and the view from this hostel is amazing!!!

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 ;)
