## This Isn't a Hotel, It's a Horror Movie: A Review of My Night at the Hotel Dasaprakash If you're looking for a luxurious weekend getaway, a romantic rendezvous, or even just a clean place to lay your head after a long flight, steer clear of the Depravity Inn – because it's more akin to a haunted house inhabited by nightmares and regret. Let's start with the "room," if you can call it that. Imagine a dimly lit dungeon cell, only less charming and infinitely smellier. The air hung heavy with the combined aroma of damp despair and questionable bodily fluids. "Ready" is a generous descriptor for its state; more like "lightly looted by scavengers in the post-apocalypse." The bed resembled a lumpy battlefield for dust bunnies, while the "windows" (glorified cardboard flaps) offered a stunning view of the alleyway where I witnessed a suspicious transaction involving what I *hope* was just a raccoon and a discarded pizza box. But the real pièce de résistance was the bathroom. Imagine opening the door to Dante's Ninth Circle, only with worse plumbing. Stepping inside was like entering a biohazard zone – I literally had to hold my breath to avoid inhaling the potent bouquet of mold, sewage, and what suspiciously sounded like someone's breakfast regurgitated from the depths of hell. To say there was no water would be an insult to puddles; the shower offered only the occasional ghost-like spritz of something vaguely brown.

When we got our room there were no towels in the room. The bedsheet looked dirty. They had red stains. I requested them to change it. The new ones didnt look so clean either but were better than the first one. When we were checking out they said we ordered breakfast so we have to pay extra when we did not order anything. Although till the end they found out that we actually didnt order anything. But the management should be good at their job. Because they asked me to just pay extra and did not say why. If I hadnt asked I would not have known that they are taking charge for breakfast. Never been in a bad hotel like this one.

I was stuck for a night, so I chose to stay here as it was relatively inexpensive. The hotel is very basic, simple and dated. The room was clean, but had no window. They kindly accomodated my request to move to a room with a window. Quite noisy with sounds coming from the resturant in the same building. Okay if you're looking for somewhere for a night, but I wouldn't recommend for longer than that. In the end, I thought it was quite expensive for what you get.

Fairly close to the Taj Mahal, you could walk there in 20 minutes. Hotel was adequate, room size reasonable and generally clean. They provided me with a fan heater as it was cold during my visit. Although there is a restaurant downstairs I didn't use it. Hot water took a while to get 1 bucket to use.

The wifi worked. I had to ask for the hot water to be turned on, the final evening there was none, they offered me a bucket. I had to buy my own water for coffee. Other guests very noisy, asked staff Rahul, to ask them to be quiet, didn’t happen. They also tried to open my door. Cockroaches in residence, refrigerator had to be changed twice, not working. Room renovation going on at 1230am, and paint/glue pervading my room through hole in the bathroom wall. My laundry was pressed when I asked them not to. Prior to check in, I emailed them several times with questions, no response. Check in very slow. I had to leave and check into another hotel to get some sleep and a shower

Rooms were spacious, however bathroom had rust building up. The water for brushing teeth in the toilet was terrible tasting, they need to install water softener. Overall it was ok

This is a good mid range option. Staff are extremely pleasant and helpful, and the location is a short autorickshaw drive from the Taj. Good standard of cleanliness. The food in the restaurant is very good but it can feel a bit atmosphereless if there are not many people.

The hotel though small, has a very good upkeep. Breakfast offerings are delicious & hygienic. Would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting for a short stay.

Good hotel to stay in Agra. Food is costlier but tastes good. Will prefer to stay in same hotel on next visit as well.
