An amazing view and Excellent Staff”

Staying in Hotel Saniya Palace was the best thing I had. An amazing rooftop and location, staff very helpfull. In short, highly recommended.

Our favorite guest house in India ”

WOW this place was lovely. Amazing location (5 min walk to Taj Mahal!) Rooftop cafe is awesome, good prices, and best view of Taj in Agra. Room was clean, simple and good size. Staff was so friendly. Cannot say enough nice things, do stay if you're in Agra.

Perfect for One Night”

We loved our stay here. Especially for the price and location, we were very happy. The staff was very friendly, and the rooftop view was magnificent. We also had the American breakfast after visiting the Taj Mahal, and it was delicious. I would recommend a meal or two on the rooftop. The only cons were the setup if the room and the cleanliness. The bathroom was small, our shower did not work and the faucet only gave cold water, the sink was outside of the room, and the door did not close all the way, let along lock. Also, the way the bedroom door works, people can lock you in from outside. My mom accidentally locked me and my sister in our room once, but that is more on her . . . Anyway, the bathroom is always wet, and the hostel feels a bit less than clean, but not too much. Overall, my mom, sister, and I all highly recommend this hostel to everyone. Just don't expect a five star room. ;P Enjoy!

Great views”

The best rooftop in Agra. The room was clean and they have hot shower! The staff is very helpful and kind. I would choose again. Next to the east entrance of Taj Mahal.

5 Stars for the restaurant, Hotel is okay”

Hotel is okay. 5 stars for the rooftop restaurant and Bobby, the guy that runs it. View of the Taj from up there is awesome. Food is great. Place is clean. Food and beers are cheap. We ate there every day for four days, sometimes multiple times a day. Bobby suggested we let him choose our dinner for us, and it was fantastic and surprisingly cheap. The hotel is worth staying in just for the restaurant. As for the hotel, the location is great. Less than five minutes walk to the entrance of the Taj Mahal. Staff was all very friendly. Wifi was unreliable, but with India sim cards, we're getting 1.5 GB of data anyway, but it was a problem for the laptop. Hot water is unreliable, but it seems common in this region during January. Overall, I'd recommend.

Excellent”

Really good view of the Taj Mahal from the rooftop restaurant. The staff were nice. Food here is really good, too. We loved eating here. I could definitely stay here again if I do come back to Agra.

Only a few steps away from Taj Mahal East Gate!”

The location is very good, only about 200 m from Taj Mahal East Gate, so you can visit Taj Mahal early at 6 AM when it's open to avoid the big crowd. This small hotel located in a small alley, a short walk from the main road. The restaurant at the rooftop has a superb view of Taj and the foods are tasty too. However, room is so small. So is the bathroom. Still worth the price. Staffs are nice n helpful. Thank you

Brilliant place to stay close to the Taj with a rooftop view on it”

+ very close to Taj + good places to eat around + decent size room + nicely arranged common areas + very helpful staff - internet router beeping all the time on the second floor ( wasn’t a problem for us and was mentioned when selecting a room) - WiFi in second floor dropping quite often - very dump atmosphere in the room

i dare you to find a better rooftop in Agra”

This Location is everything. you are RIGHT by the East Gate, a less than 5 minute walk. so when you want to rise before dawn to see the Taj you roll out of bed and you are there. then be back to eat or have a drink at sunset. room were simple and clean. recommend!

Good hotel to see sunrise in Taj Mahal ”

If you want view sunrise in Taj Mahal. You can try this hotel to see it by walk. After watching the sunrise, you can back to hotel through south exit gate Taj Mahal. In addition, you can have a breakfast with Taj Mahal view with additional charge.

Exceptional”

Great budget hotel with fantastic views and friendly helpful staff

Best ever”

Near Taj mahal Good price Friendly Manager Good Breakfast Best service

Down to earth beautiful roof terrace restaurant with stunning views of the Taj Mahal. ”

Down to earth not for your typical English middle classes for real travelers looking for an Indian experience go with the flow and don't complain its real not suburbia stunning views.

Comfortable, but can't shake the Agra sewage smell”

The hotel was clean and the staff was helpful. The view from the roof was excellent. The problem was that it was located on a tiny alley with open sewers. The sewage smell made it all the way up to our room and we could smell the sewage at night. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the hotel or with all or Taj Ganj as all the streets have open sewers.

Nice view of Taj but beware of Manager”

The view on top roof is amazing however our last day we fell for a scam and we didn’t know until later. The manager talked us into being in a movie and they would pay us and give us lunch. Lunch was not edible and we stayed for 5 hours and no compensation, the manager lied and said he didn’t get the money but what he doesn’t know is the the lady in charge of us at the set told me she paid him. I expect to get scammed outside on the street but not from the hotel manager that I paid money to stay at.

A perfect place to experience the essence of Agra and the Taj Mahal.”

Very helpful staff - Vinod was brilliant and made sure our stay was comfortable. He even went off to buy new cotton white sheets - lovely, thoughtful attention to detail.

Great location and affordable”

The location could not be better. 3 minute walk from the Taj. Basic rooms, a pretty dirty bathroom but for a cheap place so close to the Taj I was in and out and they were very welcoming and friendly.

Super near to Taj Mahal EAST Gate”

We choose this place because it's near to Taj mahal EAST Gate within 3 mins walking distance. they rooftop restaurant has good view of TAJ also. Their staff are good and helpful. You can have change US dollar with the receptionist. Many mosquitoes in our room & dont have enough hot water for shower.

Great view, Great staff”

We booked a standard room but upgraded to the superior ac room that is on the balcony next to the restaurant. The view of the Taj Mahal is excellent. Food in the restaurant is ok and all staff are friendly and extremely helpful.

Fab location ”

This place is all about the location. A few minutes walk from the Eastern Gate. Nice view from rooftop restaurant. Small rooms but very clean. Would stay again.
