    The area around the hostel itself isn’t the cleanest, lots of burst sewage pipes and animal waste, which was a bit of a shame. Also not loads of places to go for dinner if you don’t want to eat at the hostel. The food here (especially breakfast) was on the expensive side, but then again you do get such a treat with the view! I liked the music that was played in the late afternoons/evenings, but wish it was a little quieter so you can talk :)

    Fantastic view of the Taj Mahal from the rooftop! There is free tea and coffee in the mornings and evenings, and as we were staying by or 5 nights (a bit unusual for Agra!) they kindly offered us free lemon water anytime. The food was almost always very tasty. The bed was big and comfortable and there was a kettle in the room which we appreciated.

    The room had no window and extremely dark. Lots of mosquitoes too, despite the lack of a window. The mattress was sunken and extremely uncomfortable.

    The view was incredible. Such a thrill to see the Taj Mahal so clearly from the Cafe.

    The food quality at the rooftop restaurant is under average, but they let you have your ordered food there at least

    Location is invincible in Agra.

    Room can be a bit noisy during the day due to TUK Tuks nearby, but this isn’t the hostels fault

    Very good hostel, friendly staff and amazing view from the rooftop. The community of travelers staying there made it unforgettable, great walking tour organized by staff for free. Tasty food and buffet breakfast

    The AC doesn’t work best and is a little bit noisy, but it is typical for India. Bring earplugs and you will have a good sleep. Could be a bit cleaner.

    The hostel is fine for backpackers. The location is perfect, it is only 4min walk from the Taj Mahal, so you can comfortably walk there for the sunrise. The staff was great and the teracce with Taj Mahal view is definitely the main benefit. We also appreciate the locker possible after checkout. The food was great, the prices are a little bit higher to the average but still fine.

    There was a bad smell from the bathroom, however there was a similar smell in most of that area outdoors also so not necessarily a reflection on the hostel. For the price we paid, overall the stay exceeded expectations! Would highly recommend for a budget convenient location for an overnight Taj Mahal visit!

    Incredibly convenient location, just a few minutes walk from the Taj Mahal! Bed was super comfy and the food at the rooftop cafe was great and very good value! Staff were friendly and helpful, helping us to arrange transfers and providing information when needed!

    Selling point is of course terrace view of Taj Mahal. It isn't simple to find the place since you have to navigate through narrow streets. Entrance to Taj Mahal is very close.

    The shower pipes had not enough pressure and due to being in the third floor of the building, whenever other people were showering the water did not flow enough. Nevertheless, most of the time the shower worked ok and it had hot water.

    Great hostel at 5 minutes walking from the Taj Mahal. It has a great rooftop with views to the Taj Mahal, and restaurant service. Room was good enough. Comfortable, clean, and with a good wifi connection.

    Loud music during the evening when people are going to sleep and wake early to visit Taj. Also, the facilities and the property could be more clean.

    Privilege location. Joeys is a few steps from the East Gate of the Taj Mahal.

    The ventilation in the room and the bathroom was not ideal, so after the shower you needed to open the door to the hallway to get some fresh air.

    The view of the Taj Mahal was certainly one of the highlights. They have a very nice roof, where you can have some drink or a food and enjoy the view. The room was small and compact but ok for a night or two. This property definitelly has good hostel vibes. We had a very late check-in and they stil waited for us.

    Dorm was quite small, also the bathroom, no windows in the dorm. It's a bit smelly. There are not many nice places around to eat out. The food at the hostel is average. It is a good option to stay one night to see the Taj but that is enough.

    Staff is super nice, they have a nice rooftop with view to the Taj. Location perfect to visit the Taj, literally 5mins walking distance.
