Check in was quick and easy with friendly staff, asked to move room which hotel did without any issues due to tap unable to stop leaking which caused bathroom to have water all over floor bucket put under tap overflowing Room noisy due to people in adjacent room Breakfast was good with good 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.

Unbeatable location and a great deal. Staff are friendly, making this a great choice for backpackers travelling through Agra.

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!

A five-minute walk from the Taj Mahal Convenient to exit to Red Fort On-site restaurant

Good location and wifi. Restaurant was good and price is reasonable. I recommend this for anybody who wants to rest and visit Taj Mahal in early morning for less crowd.

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.

Top Location, very close to West Gate of Taj Mahal. Friendly and helpful staff.

Nice budget hotel within a walking distance to Taj, would recommend.

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.

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.

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 isnt 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.

1. excellent location. a few minutes walk from taj west gate which makes it very convinient to be there at sun rize2. local market is a few meters away. so no problem with food or shopping3. very friendly staff. espesialy Chandra

Staff here looked rather 'surly' as you enter. Lots of men hanging around. You are not sure who are staff. No smiles at all. Perhaps this reflects the fact that I am a lone female traveller - generally no respect shown....unless you are buying something of course! Smiles cost you nothing and would make passing tourists come in to eat.I did not feel that comfortable here. The hotel room was generally grubby, with lots of mosquitoes. It lacks a woman's touch and attention to detail.I did speak to the manager on leaving. A very pleasant man - with a great smile - who was very receptive to my criticism.. .The manager wondered why people only stayed one night. but there is not much else to do after you have seen the Taj and Fort. The immediate environment of the Taj is in great need of 'up-grading' They need to cover all drains and tarmac the roads and lanes - be a big improvement.

Take them off your book.wat a dump.a real rotten place

We spent 2 nights at Hotel Sidhartha, while in Agra. The location is great and you can walk to the Taj Mahal. As well there is a very lively bazaar just south of the hotel. It is not a 3 star hotel but room was clean and the facilities worked great, generally. Had a little trouble with the air conditioner the second night but nothing out of the ordinary. The restaurant is nothing to write home about but the food is good and has a selection of western and India meals. For the price we paid I was really happy with what we got. I would definitely recommend it for those who are just making a pit stop in Agra before heading elsewhere. June 2015

A great place to stay. I visited Taj Mahal twice morning and evening. Only 300 m to West Gate. Dissapointed rooftop garden was closed not sure why, maybe monkeys causing problems.

elec. plugs were ruined; front desk did not speak English when I complained; purified water was not supplied; warm water was nice; food was cheap; service was good

Booked two nights because close to Taj with rooftop view as advertised. Rooms were adequate and thankfully AC working because terribly hot and humid during our stay. Food as restaurant good, particularly vegie noodles, and staff very accommodating. One staff member, Chandra, was most helpful in driving us short distances and finding cars for longer distances as well as other information about the area.

The proprietor couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant - he's a very engaging guy. The room could've been cleaner, though, and it was also somewhat run down. For the money it's probably what you'd expect, although from the reviews I read I thought it would've been nicer.

You cannot beat the location for its proximity to the West Gate of the Taj Mahal - less than a minute's walk. The staff were very friendly and helpful; we were consistently greeted with a smile from each and every one of the. Although there was no running hot water in our room, buckets of hot water were delivered promptly on request. Unfortunately, the roof terrace restaurant was not open due to monkeys. Overall, however, considering the cost of the room, this hotel offers good value for money, for a brief stay to see the Taj.
