Hotel Shahjahan

This hotel promises a lot while booking, but what you get is completely different. The room given to us was not the one promised at all. The room was dirty, untidy, and poorly maintained. Nothing was clean properly. Everything may be “adjustable” according to them, except the staff’s attitude. Staff behavior was rude, careless, and unhelpful. Full of Cigarettes smell, Not recommended The owner is dishonest and misleading. He will say anything to get the booking and then ignore complaints later. Please don’t book this place. It’s a waste of money, time, and peace of mind. Total scam. Avoid at all costs.

I’m not someone with high expectations — give me a clean room, a usable washroom, and fresh towels, and I’m happy. This hotel somehow managed to fail at all three. The room smelled like a mix of dust and old mold. The washroom was so cramped I couldn’t even sit straight on the toilet. And speaking of the toilet — dirty, yellow, worn out, and clearly past its expiry date. The sink was just as miserable, with a tap that wouldn’t stop leaking. The towels deserve a special mention — worn out, threadbare, and so old they looked like they’d survived multiple generations. Calling them towels is generous. Bedsheets and blankets had that dusty, unwashed smell that instantly makes you regret booking the place. To add to the charm, part of the staircase slab to the second floor had literally fallen off, exposing the iron rods like a construction site abandoned mid-project. And when you enter, you’re welcomed by a gutka-chewing gentleman at the reception, along with a lovely background smell of cigarette smoke — exactly the kind of ambience you don’t want in a hotel. The only redeeming factor is that it’s a few minutes’ walk from the Taj Mahal and cheaper than the usual hotel prices these days. But honestly, even that barely compensates for how below average this place is.

The Taj Mahal is only 2 minutes away from Hotel Shahjahan which is one of the hotels from where Taj Mahal can be seen very easily from the top floor. Their behavior, facilities ,service ,and room are very decent. The stuffs are very helpful and well-mannered. You can choose two categories room : normal (rs.800-1000) and delux (rs. 1000-1500) per night .

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 — Good Stay Near the Taj Mahal I had a pleasant stay at Shahjahan Hotel in Agra. The vibe of the place is nice, and the location is excellent — just a 10-minute walk to the Taj Mahal. The area feels safe, and everything you might need is available nearby. The food served at the hotel is good, and the staff is polite and helpful, which really adds to the overall experience. One thing that could be improved is the cleanliness. The rooms are okay, but the blankets definitely need better washing and maintenance. Overall, a good budget-friendly option with a great location and friendly staff. Recommended with just a small note for cleanliness improvement.

Very good location. In the old town and Indian style. The young man was very pleasant, helpful, friendly. There were some problems with the electrical plugs, but we managed. There was hot water for washing. It's not exactly a five-star hotel, but it was fine. Beautiful view from the top. Greetings to the young man's father! Very nice people!
