At first I have to say that the hotel's location is very very good. It is situated just next to the south gate of Taj mahal. The manager and the staff are very friendly and helpful. In my case, I was promised to get a complementary pick up from station. But due to some misunderstanding it was not possible. But,... More

We ended up at Hotel Raj following a few signs on the main road. The reason for following them? The free wifi. It turned out to be a good choice, mostly because of the kind and helpfull staff (the wifi worked excellent as well!). There's an attached restaurant which serves ok food, they have a laundry service and it's only... More

It is sad to see so many people writing poor reviews of this place. This is an inexpensive hotel, and the reality is that you get what you pay for. Yes, this hotel is old and humid. The bathrooms are not great. However, the staff was very helpful and does the best it can with the accommodations it has. We... More

No back up generator Hotel staff manipulative and force sell. Organised taxi to train station, but none arrived (they forgot to book it). Good points: very close to... More

Very close to the South gate (less than 75m), this is a very old property and hence is a good budget option for backpackers and those walking on a tightrope! Clean bed, room is what they can offer but do bargain a good deal as their main negotiation point is the proximity to the Taj, the dome and the southern... More

Hotel Raj is a very average hotel in Agra and the rooms are not very clean. The hotel has a average restaurant and food served is also not great. The hotel service staff is also not very helpful. The only advantage that this hotel offers is the fact the Taj Mahal south gate is just a two minutes walking distance... More
