Guest Reviews

• Dominique (10/5): Bel hôtel pas très loin du Taj Mahal - Très belle chambre avec petit balcon. Bonne literie. Personnel très sympa. Diner servi en chambre exceptionnel (de qualité et en grande quantité). Eau chaude longue à venir (gaspillage d'eau). Petit déjeuner moyen.
• Indranil (10/5): Best stay for Tajmahal visit - Location is perfect, rooms are large with balcony, neat and clean. Foods are amazing, staffs are polite, helpful and cooperative. Perfect location to explore Tajmahal. The rooms are more than a 5 star hotel. Nothing.
• Kate (10/5): Great value, clean and very comfortable - Spacious, clean, comfortable and very good value. Nothing, it was exactly what we needed!
• Debra (5/5): - Lovely staff and nice breakfast. Walking distance from the Taj Mahal, lovely balcony area Bedding was not up to standard, pillow covers were clean but underneath was yellow
• Petra (9/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal und auch sehr hilfsbereit. Zimmer war groß und die Betten sehr bequem. Frühstück war auch lecker 😋. Lage super und sehr ruhig. Es gab nichts

• BALAKRISHNA (10/5): -
• Judith (9/5): - Gute Lage als Ausgangspunkt zum Taj, schönes, geräumiges Zimmer, sauber Alles war gut
• Want 2 Fly Travel (9/5): Taj Mahal közeli korrekt szállás. - Kedves a személyzet, mindenben a segítségünkre voltak. A szoba megfelelő volt. Reggeli finom volt, több felé szett közül lehet választani. A Taj Mahal pár perc sétára van. Kicsit zajos és néha majmok ugráltak az erkélyen.
• DMITRII (8/5): - Все было нормально.Персонал очень внимательный.Номер большой ,в номере все необходимое есть.На балконе два кресла качалки.Мы качались. Мебель в номере немножко старовата,но для того чтобы остановиться на одну- две ночи,по моему не критично.
• Karina Braum (9/5): God beliggenhed i forhold til at besøge Taj Mahal - Meget venligt og serviceminded personale. Man kan bestille mad på stedet så man slipper for at lede efter restauranter. God simpel indisk mad Tag ikke lange bade da det varme vand ikke rækker langt
• Kasturi (10/5): - Wonderful location. The best if you are wanting to visit Taj Mahal. The staff were wonderful. The rooms were just perfect Everything was perfect
• Amitava (9/5): It was a very pleasant experience. The staff were extremely polite, helpful, and well-behaved. - Breakfast should be added as complimentary.
• Maitrayee (10/5): Comfortable, cozy and excellent stay - It exceeded my expectations, the room, the amenities and food -- everything was excellent. Staffs are extremely cordial and helpful. The food was sumptuous and we Didn't have to have lunch or dinner outside, that's a major positive point as I was traveling with my mother. I'd love to come back again. Northing is there as such
• Glenn R (8/5): Easy access to the Taj, wonderful meals - The room was a great size and clean The Home Stay is located 50 meters from East Entry to the Taj (golf cart takes you the 1+km the actual gate) Meals available from the kitchen which were all wonderful. Very handy stay and would stay again.
• marie ange (10/5): - La proximité du taj mahal
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location for Taj East Gate less than 5 min walk to a full road of restaurants up to the Taj. The walk to the Taj entrance is about 25 mins, but you can easily get a tuk tuk. The staff are kind and so helpful. The beds are super comfortable. We had some essentials in our room, such as water, slippers, toothbrushes , etc. which was a great touch! It totally exceeded our expectations!
• Tapan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rupayan (9/5): Enjoyed every moment. - Very spacious, well lit and airy room, spacious and clean toilets, clean linen and last but not the least the lovely balcony. The food was very tasty and the staff was very helpful always with a big smile. The noise pollution from the outside. Of course this was created by the gypsies on the road which was bang opposite our balcony.
• Sindi (7/5): The Pearl of Taj Honestay was a good pick! - Great location, very polite and respectful staff. The mini fridge wasn't in good condition so we didn't use it.
• Jeff (8/5): Perfect location! - A great location for access to the Taj Mahal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only minor issue was the burning of incense in the reception which was too strong for some who are not used to this smell.
• Kotwal (7/5): It is good accomodation and value for money - Breakfast and lunch was good value for money House keepin in the rooms
• Lai (9/5): Comfortable stay and conveniently located. Totally recommended and would stay here again - Room was spacious and bed linen was smooth. It has lift which was a blessing for senior travelers. Have food places near hotel. Our room was facing main road and we can hear honking, but was still able to sleep. Ard 15 -20 mins walk to Taj Mahal east entrance which makes it convenient. Pickup point for uber auto is nearby. Noise from the road as hotel was along the main road. It was quite late in the night. Food prepared by hotel was average.
• Midori (10/5): One of the best small hotels I've ever stayed! - Everything! The room is spacious with good quality amenities. I really like the balcony. The breakfast is simple but delicious and staff is very friendly. Very close to Taj. The little space heater is greatly appreciated. None
• Geoffery (10/5): Exceptional - Very close to the Taj which made it very easy to see the sunrise views. It's located next to a busy road so there's endless honking. Careful of the nearby restaurants as they rort you with exorbitant prices and expect a tip. Overall, homestay hosts were friendly and approachable.
• Jitesh (10/5): Exceptional - room location na
• Leanne (7/5): Affordable accomodation in a handy location - The hotel was in a convenient location for the Taj Mahal, restaurants and an ATM that worked. The room was spacious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bathroom could be updated.
• Patcharabhon (7/5): Good -
• Geoffrey (10/5): Exceptional - Management and staff went out of their way to ensure you had a pleasant stay. Very helpful.
• Kavita (9/5): Superb -
• Suman (7/5): Good -
• Drsimar (7/5): Good stay overall - Location Old
• Vincent (8/5): Excellent choice - This newly repainted and refurnished hotel is just 10 minutes walk from the east gate of Taj Mahal. Nice and spacious room, comfy bed, all amenities you need, balcony. Some details has to been fixed and I know already that you worked on it ...Good value for money and don't forget that food is delicious too for a very reasonable price. The dining room for breakfast
• Moran (8/5): Very good -
• Robert (10/5): Very comfortable , staff very helpful. - The room was very good, clean, bathroom good, balcony was a great place for street watching.
• Jackie (10/5): Exceptional - Really lovely homestay. Everything fresh and clean. The room was a good size and there was a private terrace with a swing to relax in. Breakfast was included which was pleasant too. We walked to the Taj Mahal early in the morning which was lovely, not too far either. The staff were helpful and friendly. We were allowed a later check out for no extra cost. I would recommend this place . Nothing to dislike.
• Stephen (8/5): Very good -
• Robert (6/5): Hotel manager helpful but a bit too much at times. - It had a balcony , handy shop near by also food and restaurants. Bathroom next to room.No English tv.
• Bartek (8/5): Very good - Our room was clean and equipped with the fridge to cool water or a safe to store valuables. Nice, spacious and clean bathroom with the shower. We had an outside balcony with a cute little swing we could chill when not out sightseeing. The staff is very accomodating and was always there when we needed them. The location of the property is great for getting to Taj Mahal. Everything met our expectation
• Claire (8/5): Very good - The staff were fantastic and went out of their way to help us. The location was brilliant, right by the free parking shuttle to the Taj. Good shower, lovely to have a small balcony. Good size room. Food was limited to room service, and the room was a bit tired so very noisy (single pane glass window that didn't shut fully). Worth it though!
• Iuliia (10/5): Exceptional - Nice rooms, very good host, late check out without extra payment, friendly atmosphere, tasty breakfast.
• Hugues (9/5): Superb - Home stay is so special, and the staff made it special. The food was cooked on order, fresh, typical and excellent generous portions. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and hardly any noise trouble from the street. Little heater provided was welcome.very friendly, helpful staff. Not a big deal, but the tapware/pressure and wait time for hot water during these winter months could be better, but where not in India...A hint to make the dining/breakfast room more inviting/cosy would make the superb dishes, even more enjoyable!
• Soumi (8/5): Very good -
• Papia (9/5): Superb -
• Ramendra (9/5): Superb -
• Eddygr (8/5): Very good -
• Kolos (6/5): Pleasant - The Taj Mahal is very close. Comfortable bed. We could choose what we would like to have for breakfast. There was no hot water. We arrived within the checkin time but late in the evening, so they cancelled our reservation. We got another type of room (twin bed instead of a double room. They just accepted cash.
• Abel (9/5): Superb -
• Ilia (7/5): Good - The room was very spacious, there was even a balcony with two chairs. The bed is comfortable, the linens are fresh. It is close to the Tajmahal ticket office on foot, and there are many mini shops around. Breakfast is selected from a list of options at the reception and brought to your room. In my room the windows faced the street and at night it was noisy from passing cars. The shower needs renovation. There was no hot water. The air conditioner is very noisy when operating.
• Lee (5/5): Passable - It was very near to taj mahal Warm water doesn't work.
• Anna’lysha (9/5): Loved the location, staff great, good value - Great chief in kitchen who made very tasty food. Bed was great, location superb.
• Kenneth (10/5): Perfect location, great food, and an exceptional staff. - Perfect location, great food, and an exceptional staff. Nothing
• Manash (9/5): The Homestay fulfilled all the requirements for what we made the visit for. - Spacious Room and very clean and big Bathroom. Mr Gaurav is a very friendly and helpful Host. All appliances and amenities if any should be checked beforehand and in working condition.
• Joshua (9/5): Pearl of Taj was a fantastic home stay for the price you are paying! The highlight is definitely the friendly, family or - Pearl of Taj was the first accommodation we stayed at in India and it was fantastic! Staff were incredibly friendly and gave us good advice. The food was also freshly cooked and delicious! Some of the best food from all our accommodation throughout India. We found the hot water for the shower slightly challenging as it was inconsistent but the water was not freezing cold. More just luke-warm.
• Andreas (8/5): Good location to visit Tajmahal. - The manager was very helpful. He also shown me a working ATM nearby since there were issues getting Cash in Agra with my Visa Credit Card. There is a menu in the room. Ordered the vegetarian recommendation. The dinner was good. Liked it a lot. No toilet paper was on the room. But I guess this is the standard in India and probably the toilet is not made for this. However it had a western style toilet what was good.
• Lois (7/5): Good - location was fab. staff helpful and friendly. clean property. a little dated.
• Anonymous (10/5): it was good value for money - value for money, staff amenities
• Shaun (8/5): A we needed for our 2 day visit - The purpose of coming to Agra is to visit the Taj Mahal, the Pearl of Taj Home Stay is absolutely perfect for this / a little gem of a guest house with a family feel - the food is brilliant and far better than eating in a local restaurant, do not hesitate to book here, for the price it beats anywhere 🙏🏼 it was all good
• Phil (9/5): Very pleasant home stay. The staff were attentive and happy to help - If you looking for a location close to the Taj Mahal, this is about a mile walk. It was large enough to feel like a hotel but felt small enough to care about you as an individual. The food was very good with large enough portions to see off the biggest appetite. Nothing
• Kinealy (1/5): The gap in the mid range market drove us there. We will do more research next time. - Not much. How long have you got? Just don’t waste your time. Find somewhere else.
• Anurag (10/5): Exceptional - They allow pets and my fixed accomodation whenever i visit agra No overall it was perfect
• Dipayan (8/5): Very good -
• Arghya (8/5): Very good -
• Mousumi (9/5): Superb -
• Probal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vijay (6/5): Pleasant - Good Location Spacious rooms Friendly staff Our room was next to a super noisy road. We asked for other less noisy room but we didn't get it.
