Hotel Shahjahan

Nice view and good service

Should provide a lift

Location, cant really get much closer to Taj Mahal, just make sure to go to the east gate early.

We got a room on the literal roof that felt more like an after thought to add than actually part of the hotel. As such you could hear everything outside and night club music kept us up all night. I will say from the view of the window you could see the Taj Majal but its not worth it honestly. Room was very small and the spigot in the shower got in the way when showering partially because shower head was broken. Not too mention the sink would leak from behind whenever you washed your hands.

Super comfortable bed, great staff service, perfect location and insane view of Taj Mahal!

My wife and I had a really nice stay at the Hotel Shahjahan during our trip to Agra which started by the care of the wonderful staff who treated us like family--going above and beyond to provide great service (including driving me by motorbike to an ATM).The hotel itself is about as close to the Taj Mahal as you can get without being inside the walls (but still far enough away from the hawkers) and I can tell that a lot of care is being taken to continue to beautify the hotel.Our 4th floor room even had a view of the Taj from the window and there's definitely a future opportunity to take advantage of the rooftop for all guests. Overall a great budget stay for those looking to stay over in Agra!

The view of the Taj from the roof top that had tables and chairs was fantastic.

For a budget hotel this is probably the best you can get this close to the Taj Mahal. The staff is so helpful and nice, the room is clean and we could see the Taj Mahal from our room.

Nothing i can think of

Terrace is gorgeous, you can see Taj Mahal from there and is kind of private or just for 2 neighbours.Shower is good and bed is comfortable. AC works fine.Owner is very nice and friendly!Improvements: put some chairs and umbrella for make this nice terrace more comfortable )

Room was clean with a perfect view to see Taj Mahal. The elderly owner was very jolly and welcoming!

It is in close proximity to Taj Mahal

One of the worst stays we had during our trip.We booked this hotel considering the location & pictures on booking.com. We were given a room on the terrace.They didn't have any lift facilities so we had to pick our luggage through their narrow staircase. The bedsheet had stains on them and the pillow cover looked yellowish. There was no landline to call the reception so if anything is required then you should climb down 3 floors. They provided 2 small water bottles which is not enough for even 1 person. The door of washroom seemed like it would fall off any moment. Room didn't had proper ventilation.Also, I would like to mention that the hotel staff continuosly urges to give positive reviews which is annoying.To people looking for accommodation near Taj Mahal I would suggest avoiding this hotel. In fact, I would suggest looking for hotels a little far from Taj Mahal as it is surrounded by slum-like areas.

Most beautiful and romantic view of Taj from the 3 floor balcony Even from our room.

Squeaky clean, big comfortable bed and bedding, tons of hot water, AC worked perfectly, 5min walk to Taj, and staff made us feel very welcome. What else do you want?? 10/10 for a great value Nice basic rooftop (they should put some chairs up there!), and restaurant should be opening soon.

I must like the supporting staff and proper guidance of the owner and staff . The size of the room was big enough.the communication skills of owner and staff really nice.I must suggest that place for visiters of taj mahal and the hotel is located just 100 mt from taj mahal

5 minute walk to the Taj Mahal.4 minute walk back from the south gate. Good restaurants and beer/liquor shop one minute walk.Basic room but very clean. Super helpful staff with any tickets or tuktuks you need.

Our rooms were on the roof. Clean and comfortable but fragile door. The walk up stairs could be difficult for older travellers. Nice view of the Taj Mahal from the roof. Staff were very helpful and the travel desk helped book us train tickets.

- Fun and very friendly and supportive staff- View of Taj Mahal from the top floor

- Not clean- Lots of bugs- Only one small table to put your things

The staff is very helpful and the hotel is really close to the Taj Mahal

The hotel is small and old, the rooms have ants and the windows don’t have curtains, they are covered with paper. The hotel street is complicated, Ubers could not enter and we had to walk with our luggage

We planned to stay in Agra for one night. The room we booked at Hotel Shahjahan was on the top floor, from which you can view the Taj Mahal at a distance. The bedroom was great, clean, and the staff super helpful. The hotel is very close from the Taj Mahal (south entrance) which is great if you plan to see it at sunrise.Our night bus to leave Agra was canceled last minute (scam?) and the staff helped us with alternatives, even driving us to the train station to get train tickets for the next morning.Highly recommend!

The staff is amazing and the location is really perfect!! It is located in a nice Indian street and in a few minutes you are at the Taj Mahal! Moreover my room had an amazing view on the Taj Mahal, so you can enjoy it to the fullest. Also the service was perfect. For example, they always helped me with getting a tuktuk for the best price and the food was delicious!

The view on Taj Mahal from room/terrace on the last floor

For the price it was good

This property was AMAZING! The staff were so friendly and helpful The bathroom was clean with a hot shower The bed was massive with clean bedding and we could literally see the Taj Mahal from our bedroom window It’s in a pedestrian part of town so quiet at night, great restaurants all around, great street food. The gate for Taj entrance is just a few minutes walk away. This is great value for money and we would definitely visit again. Thank you for your hospitality

Stairs up to the room may not be suitable for people with limited mobility. But staff help with all luggage. Not an issue for us but just to make people aware.
