Hotel Sidhartha Agra

I recently stayed at Hotel Sidharth in Agra and had a mixed experience. The hotel is conveniently located a stone's throw away from the Taj Mahal, which provided 24-hour police security—a great plus for families. The hotel was filled with many foreign tourists, adding to its lively atmosphere. While the rooms were generally clean and comfortable, I did encounter an issue with the plumbing. The basin pipe in the bathroom was not properly fixed, and the bathroom was stinky at times, though it was manageable with the exhaust fan. On the positive side, I was pleasantly surprised by an upgrade from a regular room to an air-conditioned room. The hotel also offers a fantastic free luggage storage service after check-out, which was incredibly convenient. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the hotel owner, Mr. Sidharth, ensured a welcoming environment. Despite our late check-in, Mr. Sidharth arranged for one of his staff members to take a family picture of the Taj Mahal from the hotel terrace. The on-site restaurant offered a variety of delicious dishes, with a menu that caters well to vegetarians—a plus in a city known for its Mughal heritage. Additionally, the nearby market offers economical handicraft purchases, saving both time and money compared to visiting more popular markets like Sadar Bazar or Kinari Bazar. I stayed for two days based on the hotel's overwhelming reviews, and while it may not be a 3-star or 4-star hotel, its services are comparable. Considering the price, the negatives can be overlooked. The rating should definitely be upgraded to at least 3-star, not 1-star. Overall, Hotel Sidharth has some great services to offer.

Recommended place near Taj Mahal. Just 50 meters. Good quality rooms and staff were friendly. They also have a restaurant which serves good food.

We booked 2 rooms and both were very clean, staffs were polite and helpful. Taj mahal is just at the walking distance from the place. You can surely consider this place if you are coming to Agra.

I was at the sidhartha for two nights. The staff is exceptionally nice (they even let me check out and leave my luggage with them for a couple hours without charging me extra), the food was good and the location is amazing. The only problem was I didn't get the exact room booked and the room itself did leave a bit to be desired, but you go there for Agra so it doesn't really matter. Overall pretty good, would definitely recommend, especially if you're a solo traveller and are looking for a place near the taj mahal that's not too expensive.

The hotel was under some renovation. There was definitely a plumbing issue in the bathroom, and an all-pervasive stench filled the place. ||The service is quite good and the restaurant staff very efficient. ||The proximity to the Taj Mahal made it worth spending a night.

Only the location is good. Rooms are cozy with no lights. No mobile tower was there. Their wifi was horrible. The main person in reception was rude as hell. I could have had a big argument if not to compose myself. They charge extra for early check in. But there were no other customers there and the room was ready. The food manager was a straight up liar. They mixed Onion in jain food and just lied. After finding out there was a full argument and then they changed it. I will say do not stay here just for the location.

Great clean rooms, very cheap, great location (2 minutes walking from Taj Mahal) and really good service! Would really recommend if you want to see the Taj at sunrise, as it’s really close!

The location is very near to Taj mahal west entry gate. Less than 3 minutes to walk. Hotel service was good. Their own restaurant is there. Any time food available 👌🏻
