Don't stay here.
This place is dusgusting, hot water, smelly bathrooms, mosquitos, dirty and worn sheets n towels... stained. Staff turn A/C off externally, and power to rooms so if phone on charge... it don't charge. Restaurant staff don't understand toast n jam on menu, and charge extra for butter. My rooms cost me £24 per night 2 rooms single occupancy, so £96 advertised at £12 pernight some places... not worth £12 "Very close to Taj Mahal" was the only positive thing can be said.

This is a simple, inexpensive and clean hotel, in walking distance from the Taj Mahal. My room was good but the bathroom needed improvement. The restaurant in the courtyard serves good food.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff very friendly and welcoming however the room is a lot more basic than it appears in the photos. Room was cold at night and shower is very basic. Room locks with a bolt on the inside and you can padlock it when you go out. Despite this, as the hotel is down a pedestrian only street and they secure the front doors during the night we felt very safe. Overall fine for 1 night but would not stay longer. Dinner in the hotel restaurant was very tasty and cheap. WiFi was good. Location is fantastic, 3 minute walk to the Taj Mahal. Perfect if you want to catch sunrise at the Taj.

Really good location, just a few meters away from the West Gate entrance of the Taj Mahal. The staff were very friendly, especially the owner. The food that we ate there was good and the price of the stay was really very good. The bad things were that the rooms are small so we had nowhere to put our bags, they had to be kept on the floor. There was no daily cleaning and we got A LOT of bugs in our room. Luckily we killed them with bug spray but because we didn’t have cleaners it meant they just mounted up on the floor. It didn’t affect our stay too much and overall I would recommend this hotel!

Hotel well located and clean, no A/C
The place was fine, clean and well located. There was no air conditioning, but I must admit I haven't checked that before booking, so it was very hot in the room and we couldn't sleep well. We couldn't find how to get hot water in the shower but since it was so hot in the room, we didn't mind too much. Overall it was ok with the price we paid.

Nice Hotel walking distance to Taj Mahal.
We have a nice experience staying in Hotel Sidharta. The staff are helpful. The room is OK. It just a walking distance to Taj Mahal. If you’re thinking about going to Taj Mahal in the early morning (It’s open at 6AM) to avoid the crowd ( i.e for taking picture), this hotel is suitable for you. The cons : Since it is very close to Taj Mahal, as typical for all the hotels in this area, for the security reason, cars and any other vehicles cannot access to the front of the hotel (there are no parking area). Tuk tuk (auto rickshaw) park near the guard post and it just a very short walk from there to the hotel.

Good resting place before a dawn visit to the Taj'
This friendly hotel is a couple of minutes walk to the western gate of the 'Taj. Ideal resting place ahead of a dawn visit... It's a basic, serviceable good value place I have used a couple of times. Food is acceptable and - again - great value. The rooms we had were AC chilled and the beds comfy. Wifi works. The surrounding area is as per the rest of Agra. IE: Earthy and chaotic.

Great location and working hot water
Easy check in process (arrive 1.5h before the official check in time). Compared to the average hotels in India, this one is a great find. The surroundings are safe as it is right next to the Taj Mahal. The staff was very friendly and polite.

This place is perfect for one night if you want to be very close to entry to the Taj Mahal. The photos looked great but it isn't as clean as we expected. The sheets and blanket were stained. But it was what we needed for one quick night. I would pack my sleeping bag insert if I stayed here again.

Excellent location but better value elsewhere
Great location right outside the west gate of the Taj but not the cleanest. There are many monkeys in the neighborhood. They could get aggressive but the hotel could do a better job of cleaning the monkey excrement. The Taj Ganj neighborhood has many restaurants but none of them great. For better food, you need to hire a driver to get to a different part of town.

Good Budget hotel right next to the west gate
This place is really only for the location and close proximity to the west gate of Taj Mahal . Hotel room was clean and spacious and was all you need if you are out exploring most of the time , the wifi was turned off alot and had to ask for them to turn on , and also had to ask to turn on the hot water but was easily fixed once asked ,this was pretty standard i found in the whole of India and no big drama at all .... All in all this place is great if your cool with Budget , like real budget !! and there to visit Taj Mahal and explore most of the day..Friendly staff and prompt check in and out .. Would recommend if in Agra for Taj Mahal and Red Fort and check out Sadar Bazaar, Awesome market to get lost in for hours !!

Convenient, basic but OK
I would sum this hotel up as adequate, cheap and cheerful, very basic but clean and as two older females traveling alone we felt safe here. Shower didn't work but we were only here for one night so that really wasn't too much of a problem. We only came to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and the location of this hotel is perfect for that. Staff were helpful when asked. Food was good and the little garden nice enough. We couldn't use the terrace because of the monkeys but that is not the fault of the hotel. All in all, we arrived late in the evening and left early the next day to see the Taj at sunrise, back for breakfast and then off again and this hotel was perfect for that.
