Don't know from where he get good reviews I think all those review were fake . Rude and unwelcoming staff ...no Ac in the room ..very conjusted room ..and full of moisture smell in the room ...wash room is also very conjusted and not properly cleaned tabs were very dirty not provided any drinking water or any accessories like towels ,soup etc in washroom . Bed sheets were dirty and not provided any sheets for covering body during sleep .

• Uzair (3/5): Poor -
• Ephrem (10/5): It was a amazing place to stay and explore Agra. I would strongly recommend people to choose this pl - Value for money, very nice and affordable place for solo travellers and for people travelling with friends. Walkable distance to Taj Mahal.
• Konda (7/5): Good -
• Md (4/5): Disappointing -
• J (5/5): Passable - Kind and helpful staff team. Good wifi. Nice restaurant with AC. My room (fan only) was damp + smelly lacking fresh air as the window was only to a corridor without a mosquito net. Missing proper cleaning and maintenance. Small washroom shower head was totally blocked by limescale. Dirty and dusty top floor common areas. > Somewhere else next time.

• Perritodepavlov (8/5): Very good -
• Suraj (6/5): Pleasant - Nearest from taj mehal , you get some non - veg restorent near about you , There are no towel in my room it's chargeable 50 rupees PP, and this gust house is not for like people who hate drunkers because top of guest house there is a open bar which is most like preferable by foreigners. And room are like if talk in room little loudly then person in common gallery hear you. In the morning I am in my personal room playing little bit of music the owner come like that like what happen and shouting and say off the music. If relly want chill then check for another good hotel .

• Moa (10/5): Perfect place to stay, cheap and good! Do try the food on their rooftop restaurant. - Fair price and very helpful the whole time with our needs as guests. They have a very nice rooftop restaurant, home-made high quality food with an awesome view of the city.
• Niharika (3/5): Poor -
• Steven (8/5): A pleasant stay - The location was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant food was great and good balcony and rooftop views. The accommodation was good value for money.
• Magali (1/5): I will not recommend this hotel. - Limited cleanliness, bed bugs or dog fleas, no water flowing from the shower. He used acid to unclog the shower head For the price the space was ok as well as the comfort of beds ok. But it was a perfect Location.

• Sahil (5/5): Passable -

• Vicky (7/5): Good -
• Vishnu (1/5): This is the worst hotel ever. - Nothing! Very bad service! nothing was good!
• Eli (9/5): Family hostel on Agra - The staff is very nice and helps you at all times, the food in the restaurant is very good and the facilities are very nice and cozy. There is a rooftop to watch the sunset and two living rooms where you can hang out. They even have board games! The room is very comfortable and it is only 20 minutes from the Taj Mahal. the blankets are very thin and the hot water does not last long
• Shetty (1/5): Pathetic!!!! - Nothing great. Attitude towards the customer was rude. Never ever go there, especially during new year's eve where the customers are not allowed to step out of the hotel after 10PM. This is more like a boarding school.
• Maity (9/5): Superb - It's really nice and very comfortable to stay in. And very clam and pleasant place.
• Magda (10/5): Highly recommended!:) - The owner was very helpful and he makes delicious chai. He was super nice and ready to help us with whatever we needed. Extremely hospitable place. Higly recommend Bob Marley Hostel :)
• Thomas (7/5): very helpful brother's - room was basic with ensuite Joseph and Jonny were very helpful with information about area. Wifi not to bad. Restaurant on site very good food and value. 20% of for guests. nothing
• Neelam (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elise (10/5): Comfortable, fun, and budget friendly stay in Agra - I loved my stay and everyone from the staff to the neighbouring shops were very hospitable. I would really like to commend the three awesome staff: Yusuf - for being so helpful with the room and tour recommendations, Juned and Nadim - for the great homecooked food they prepared for me (must tries are the Choco Lassi and Lemon Honey crepe!). Apart from the street's noise, the place is very quiet and has a beautiful sunset view from the rooftop. It's not that far from Taj Mahal (15min walk) and there are many convenience shops around. I liked the spacious room and the fact that it has a whole section for me to put my stuff on unlike other backpacker inns. This is definitely a budget friendly and comfortable place I'd recommend for a short or long stay in Agra. Nothing that I didn't like, the stay was great!
• Anonymous (7/5): Good -
• Constanza (8/5): You feel like family with them - The owners were amazing, super friendly and helpful every time we needed help. The bed was big and we had a private bathroom. The property is very closed to Taj Mahal and we could just walk to it. There were many nice restaurants around, including the restaurant of the hostel. it has an open sewer outside, so sometimes it didn’t smell very good in the reception, but the rest was fine
• Anup (10/5): Budget Stay near Taj Mahal - A peaceful stay. 10min walking distance from the Taj. Nothing to dislike.
• Sheik (8/5): Good - The place is very nearby Taj mahaal. And compare to nearby hotels the food here is really good. The people were really friendly. For this price the room is really good
• Rahim (10/5): Exceptional - Bob marley hostel was so chep and near to taj mahal. Personals were good. Thanks Nothing
• Singh (5/5): Passable -
• Khansamanda (10/5): Best choice for budget traveler - Always stay here whenever i come to Agra.. You get more than you pay.. The room is clean and comfy, the price is soooooo cheap, the staff are friendly, and the food in the cafe is good.. I like all the food there.. Best choice when you are traveling on budget.
• Subhash (1/5): Bad - Liked nothing. Ac wasn't working well rooms were on the upper stairs whereas we asked them on the ground. wasnt clean bathroom was worse. etc Idk how the reviews are good
• Serg (9/5): Superb - Very nice people run the hotel, very clean, in terms of hospitality you can't compare it with other similar budget places in India. Speaking well English. Very nice guys, friendly, also good second floor cafe where you can order various meals. They care about customers and have every day cleaning personal all day working inside. It's near Taj Mahal, walking distance to a free shuttle to the temple itself. All was fine, good value for money! Could a bit repair the shower equipment:)
• Sikander (6/5): Pleasant -
• Augustine (1/5): stay away from the property. - the staff first refused to check me in since they are not okay with the price shown in the app. At that midnight they asked me to pay 150 more or i will not be allowed to be in. At around 2 in the morning i paid the amount and checked in bad staff not at all clean
