Taj Haveli Hotel Agra - Walkable Distance from Taj Mahal

There don't seem to be any reviews since at least 2023. I don't know if something has happened but the reviews we read really didn't reflect our experience. The people who greeted us were friendly enough. Our room was awful. It felt unclean. The pillows were filthy under the pillow case and I didn't want to put the duvet over me. The air con wasn't working, there was a large ceiling fan which did work but was noisy. The room was full of mosquitos and I was bitten all night. There was a plug in device to deter them but since the electricity turned off when you took your key out, it was ineffective. The bathroom had broken tiles, old towels and there was no hot water. I didn't even attempt a shower. The floor under the bed was so dusty, it could not have been cleaned for at least a month. We attempted to have breakfast one morning but the kettle didn't boil properly and it made a cup of cold coffee. Toast was the only option, with a bag of bread and a toaster to do it yourself. Although it is a brilliant location to visit the Taj Majal, I feel that a hostel would have been cleaner and better for a similar price and there are plenty of them nearby. We have moved on to another 3 star boutique hotel in Jaipur and it is far cleaner and more spacious and comfortable for a similar price. I wouldn't rate this hotel as a 3 star.

When you see the photos and even the reviews you would trust on them. And this is a huge mistake while traveling in India. We checked in late around 1am and they were quite moody waiting for us. Spacious rooms buttttt….. no towels (and the one they gave us had holes on it as though a mouse has been chewing his dinner of it) , dirty bed lining ( and if you check the pillows without the cover you get to vomit), a broken kettle and no hot water (both spotted when we first entered the room) another super dusty kettle was given to us. The water issue -taps were so rusty you could barely turn it. When I’ve seen there was a problem they came to the room and apparently fix it….. but when I was actually about to have my shower there was no water at all…..and I really didn't have time to bother. Amazing to see how people charge tourists for a place with this condition!! I’m giving A star because they let us leave our luggage there while visiting the Taj Mahal as we were leaving late. Avoid!!
