N Homestay Agra

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was absolutely perfect, huge and very comfortable. The bed was great, the shower was excellent, the AC worked perfectly, and everything was spotlessly clean. The host, Shiron, was incredibly kind and helpful. He helped me a lot with organizing my trips around Agra and made everything much easier for me. I felt very comfortable here from the moment I arrived. Everything was just perfect, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Agra. Highly recommended!

Gute Lage, netter und hilfsbereiter Empfang durch den Gastgeber sowie toller Tuk Tuk/Risha-Service. Das Zimmer hatte alles was man braucht.

Ventilatoren und Klimaanlage waren laut - ohne hat man es im September aber leider nicht ausgehalten. Ohropax einpacken!

Friendliness of owner

Out of the way a bit

Great hosts

Nothing. You get what you pay for.

Unlike other places advertised as homestays, this is a real homestay! The hosts are incredibly helpful and welcoming. The room is comfortable and private enough. It's about a 25-30 minute walk to the Taj but in a nice residential area with restaurants around. I would happily stay again.

Nothing

Absolutely amazing place to stay it really does tick all the boxes. The family are so friendly and welcoming but allow you your privacy at the same time. Everything about this homestay is A1 They also provide their own tuk tuk driver Mukul for a day tour of Agra outstanding driver and guide, honest and super helpful at a real good price. N Homestay and Mukul is the perfect package

It is a real homestay. You live with the family, who are incredibly friendly, kind and helpful. Our child became good friend with the wonderful daughter of the house. The house looks beautiful from outside, wonderful flowers. Swing sofa on the balcony. The location is also great. A quiet side street (colony), safe, clean, there is a small park in front of the house. walking distance to the Taj Mahal. Good vegetarian restaurant, friendly ironing service and a small well-stocked supermarket just around the corner.

The rooms are unfortunately very outdated: plaster is crumbling from the walls, mattress is totally worn out, doors do not close properly, so that light, noise and many mosquitoes always come in. There is no cold water at the sink, only very hot water. Bathroom is small and everything is completely wet after showering. Please replace the old carpets in the room.

We stayed here one night, to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise. The homestay arranged for Mukul, their local tuktuk guy to pick us up at 6am, and it all worked perfectly. He's a nice guy and very flexible. We wanted to see things other than Baby Taj, Agra Fort etc so he worked with us, and then dropped us to the train station for our onward journey. The homestay family live on the ground floor and are friendly and welcoming. The room and bathroom are dated but are like the pictures. It's in a nice residential area, and only 100 rupees max to the Taj area by uber or tuktuk.

Lovely family Excellent breakfast

We had a very good stay at the homestay, and particularly liked the cooking class, which was great. The Tuk Tuk driver they recommended Mukhul was reliable and helped us to get around all the top attractions.

At the end of the tour Mukhul offered to take us to a jewellery shop where we felt quite pressured to buy an overpriced ring — this was a disappointing finish to what was otherwise a lovely visit. Our advice to future travellers would be to say no to the shopping, but otherwise to enjoy!

Very friendly, beautiful and safe, highly recommend!

The owner was really kind and very helpful! He had good tips on restaurants and he helped us with our bus to next destination 👍

Very welcoming and charming family, delicious meals prepared by the hosts. The homestay arranged for us to meet Mukul at the train station. He was an excellent and kind guide, gave us a great tour around Agra and advice for our further travels.

Nothing!

The hosts were extremely helpful and very friendly. The location was convenient and easy to find. The location given is accurate. If using Uber, i've noticed that the location on the app can be inaccurate once you've typed it in. If possible, try to manually search the location on the map. They were very accommodating as they offered to store our bags before check-in so would could go on our tour. We arrived much earlier and our room was actually ready so we checked-in straightaway. We checked out and could store our luggage there while we went on another tour before leaving Agra. There is a local store nearby to purchase snacks and water. An atm is located 5-10 minutes away. The distance from sites like the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort is perfect.

The toilet seat in our room was broken. Everything else was perfect!

Located in very quiet zone of Agra. The complex has security staff at the entrance

Great host. Very discursive on many issues. Location is a little oasis. Relaxed atmosphere. Felt like an ongoing project with huge potential.

Nothing

Clean and comfortable, with friendly, helpful people. It made my stay in Agra very pleasant. Also, if you come to Agra you MUST use Mukul's tuk tuk; he speaks excellent English and has been extremely helpful. I wouldn't have been able to see so much so easily without him.

Nothing to dislike

The home is very comfortable, clean,and quiet. Our host Shiron answered our enquiries and was very friendly. Shiron organised Mr Mukul to conveniently pick us up from the railway station in his tuk tuk. Mr Mukul was friendly and helpful and can offer transport to tourist attractions. I can recommend N Homestay . It is a pleasant change to be in a family home instead of a noisy hotel.

There was nothing I didn't like.

The area was a nice one in Agra, kinda a gated community of nice houses and a good shop around the corner. It was quiet by Indian standards. The room was nice and spacious with a balcony and it was out of the way of the rest of the house. You could get the homestay vibes whilst feeling like you had your own privacy. The host and his family are very lovely and welcoming.

The beds were a little hard for our tastes, but I know that is personal. We found the shower to be pretty temperamental to get working with it being either way too hot or cold. I also thought the breakfast at 300 each for two parathas was overpriced for an Indian breakfast though it was tasty.

We really loved the room. It was clean and we had a hot shower. The owner was very pleasant and helpful.

We made use of the services of a tuktuk driver offered to us through the homestay. This was in the beginning quite nice, but at some point we asked to go somewhere for a simple drink and we were taken 20 minutes through town to a restaurant with only tourists. After that we wanted to go to Agra fort but there was suggested to go along the silver market in old town at first. This sounded like a really old and ‘real’ place, we also asked if this was the case and it was confirmed. But it was just a shop were all the tourists were brought. This was really not what we wanted, and we felt really tourist trapped even after asking. It felt like the tuktuk had deals with the shops and restaurant and taking us there was more important than our wish. Definitely not happy about it and it gave us a bad Agra experience.

The property was spacious and clean. The owner was incredibly welcoming and helped us a great deal from other individuals trying to scam us as we had issues with our train being cancelled from Delhi - we honestly cannot thank him enough for all of his help. The family were all welcoming and it was a lovely experience felt very homely and safe. We used Mukul and Rahul (who are brothers) for our tuktuk services as they have worked with the family for years. They are such funny, lovely people who look after you and take you to many different sites/restaurants for a very affordable price. Do not hesitate to use them if you are in agra 😊😊

Nothing

The place is amazing, it feels like home! Everyone is so warm, kind and nice. A special thanks goes to Mokul he is the best driver in the city! He took me everywhere, in the most beautiful shops with very good products and good prices! I couldnt suggest a better place to stay in Agra :)

Lovely rooms and very clean. Very friendly owners who are happy to help. Would stay again if we came back to Agra

Extremely friendly, helpful and communicative host! :) We could ask all details concerning our stay in Agra and were helped instantly. :) Also fantastic communication upfront the stay and free tea and coffee when we arrived. Located in a very safe and high class neighbourhood with a small market and a GREAT (but quite fancy) restaurant around the corner. It's an 18 minutes walk to Taj Mahal East Gate. The room itself is basic, but rather clean and big enough for two or more nights. Good bed even with old matrasses.

Maybe the toilet seat could be changed as it was broken. ;) And, criticizing on a high level: The small carpets inside the room may need some laundry too. ;)

Friendly owner, arranged a tuktuk pickup from the station and then also arranged a tuktuk driver for the next day showing us the main attractions in Agra. Highly recommend!

We stayed here as we were visiting Taj Mahal in the morning. The owners are very friendly and helped us organise a tuk tuk driver from the station and for our trip around Agra. Before we even told him of our itinerary he knew exactly what we were doing and even the time of our bus the next day. It was all planned very well and efficient! The room was a little cold for us but they provided us with a heater which helped a lot! Highly recommend :)

Very nice and spacious room in a quiet environment! The family living in the house is super nice. We spent some minutes every day chatting with them and all their lovely kids, and the owner was always very friendly and gave us nice tips. So you definitely feel welcome in this homestay!

Unfortunately, at the end of our stay we had a bit of an annoying experience with the driver, who picked us up and who seems to be a friend of the family (he also did the check-in with us, since the owner wasn't there when we arrived). He started with offering us a very nice day trip to all the important sights for a quite good price, which we accepted. At the very end of the nice trip, however, he said he would bring us to some market where we can "just have a look". In the end he brought us (more or less voluntarily) to two very specific shops where we entered and hardly got out without buying something. We know that this happens often to tourists, but still, he first made a quite different impression and we thought he was not pushy at all, until this happened. So be prepared if you get offered to "just have a look at the market"...

Shiron is a great host and Muktul was very helpful providing an itinerary in Agra. The house is lovely and breakfast is good.

Nice and quiet location Lovely family Nice balcony with room

We were just there to see the Taj so didn't spend much at the homestay but everything was fine

Convenient location for visiting the Taj Mahal, and the owner was extremely kind, preparing breakfast for us in the morning

The bed was not very comfortable and lacked a sheet, the towels were not great, and the toilet seat was broken.

Fabulous, helpful host. Happy family home. Gave super Taj Mahal / Fort / Baby Taj itinerary advice and Tuktuk suggestions and booking as well as Great location for easy walking to Pinch of Spice, 2 Saints restaurants as well as Costa and Pizza Hut for western tastes.

Could be tricky to find if you do it yourself!

Fantastic nice and helpful family. Really felt like home. Genuinely welcoming. Makul the tuk tuk driver, was the best. Picked my up at the railway station. Leave me then a was leaving at the airport. Help me with everything I need and ask for, took me where every a wanted for an very small fee 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 He know everything about Agra👍🏾👍🏾

Lovely owner, quiet neighborhood, and easily accessible from the station and main highlights.

Friendly host and lovely dinner. Room was clean and spacious.

Friendly and very helpful staff, very kind and respectful family attending. The guest house had everything of the offered. The driver Mukul is especially gentle and offer his services also to easy transfer and visit the city in a fair price. I will definately return when back in Agra!

Everything was great.

I was supposed to arrive at 7am on a night bus from Haridwar, but the bus dropped me off at a completely different place than planned and at 4.30am! I didn't know what to do, it was far too early, so I tried, without really believing it, to call Mukul, the Tuk tuk driver with whom Shiron, the host, had already put me in touch the day I'd booked the room. Mukul answered and reassured me. He jumped out of bed and 30 minutes later he was there :-) I had planned to go the next morning to see the sunrise at the Taj Mahal, but Mukul offered to take me there. He looked after my luggage while he waited for me, then after the visit he drove me to a nice place on the street for breakfast and chai before dropping me off at the Homestay. Although check-in is at 2pm, they were very nice at the homestay and gave me my room at 10am. I was finally able to relax in peace and quiet, in a spacious room with a balcony. The whole family is lovely and Mukul is very accommodating and helpful! I was looked after from the moment I booked the room until I left.

Lovely place to stay - great room and very calming - in a crowded city it was nice to come back here. We also did the all-day tuk tuk tour with Mukal and his brother, arranged through the homestay, and was great value for a number of drives and sights of Agra (including early start for sunrise at Taj Mahal) - would recommend.

Good location and room was spacious. Good breakfast. Everything was supplied that was required

Nothing

We flags a very nice stay here, our room was spacious and very clean. Breakfast was good but a little bit pricey. The homestay also connected us with our tuktuk driver Mukul and his brother Rahul who made sure we got to see as much of Agra as possible in the short time we had.

Shower pressure could be better

We had a lovely stay at N Homestay Agra. The owner, Shiron, is genuinely lovely, helpful, informative, and not pushy when it comes to selling tours etc. Situated off the main road, it was very quiet at night. The beds could be more comfortable and unfortunately the fan in our room made a disturbing noise and there was not hot water (although we didn’t ask for these to be fixed). The family also offered us free filtered water. Overall, we recommend this place.

Room was cleaned, provided with cleaned bad linens and towels.

We really like the treatment of the family, good house and good vibes, they are very close to guests…

Too many mosquito in the night… and maybe be the dinner? Cause late time? Even though great place!!

Location is good, only a short rickshaw drive from Taj Mahal. Lovely family with young children that lives on the first floor. My very early check out wasn’t a problem neither for the owner nor the rickshaw drivers they use. Felt very safe in the location and taking sightseeing tour with the drivers. Very good place when traveling solo.

The best part was the family all three generations lovely family atmosphere. And then there was Mukul our tuk tuk driver who organised everything during our stay from pick up and drop off at train station, sight seeing and organising a guide to the sunrise Taj Mahal. He was a charming and friendly man who became a friend.

Host and Tuktuk service were amazing!

The family was charming, super friendly, lovely kids and the food was wonderful. They also work with Mukul, who drives a Tuktuk and helps you with all the transfers to/from the station and the sightseen places. I recomend them 100%

- The location is good and the tuk tuk pickup from Mukul at the train station is nice. - The room is spacious and clean. - The overall value-for-money is very good

- Beware air-con is not included, if you turn it on in the room (it is there) it costs 300 Rp extra. - Mukul gave great advice on what to do in Agra when checking in. However, he then directly pitched booking his tuktuk for the proposed plan. While this was a nice offer, we felt a bit overwhelmed before even “settling down” and thinking about it. - When I wrote that I was sick on the day of checkout and asked whether they need the room or if I could rest another hour, they asked to leave until 11 and then later allowed to stay until 11:30. Then, two hours after we left the room, it still hadn‘t been made. It would have been nice if I could have stayed in bed during that time. - The bathroom sink needs to be fixed.

Was a fine stay, had comfort and privacy. Areas of improvement for better service. Recommend taking your own bed linens. Owner recommended Agra Tuk tuk service , they showed us all places around Agra for a very reasonable price. Overall good for a nice and safe stay.

Staff and family at the home stay were so nice and very helpful! Gave so much advised about getting around India and stuff to do in Agra. Rooms were very clean and comfortable and felt so welcoming. Perfect location down a quiet street but close to lots of shops & restaurants. Would recommend to anyone staying in Agra and would defiantly stay here again. Thank you.

N/A. Everything was perfect

If your stay in Agra entirely revolves around seeing the Taj and all the major sites in a fuss free manner then this place is fantastic. Upon arrival we were asked what we wanted to see and when by host Shiron and it was all organised for us instantly - including some good restaurants to go to for lunch and an evening meal. Mukul and his brother Rahul organised AND drove us around our entire stay and even gave us some good tips to avoid scammers and the best way to get to the Taj! Staying here gives you a personal touch that hotels can’t match - my partner injured herself and the family went above and beyond to ensure she was ok and fit enough to enjoy the rest of our trip (really good first aid!) It’s in a quiet area with a useful little shop nearby. Would recommend!

Staircase is a little steep!

Lovely family hosting. Fantastic Tuk tuk driver Mukul who made an itinerary with us to ensure we had the best of Agra shown to us. Nothing was a problem and we felt very lucky to have them as our driver. We saw the best of beautiful Agra. 10/1O for our driver Mukul! 👏👏

The family is very welcoming and friendly, we loved our stay here! Very helpful with arranging our visit to Taj Mahal. Shiron was very nice and took a lot of time for us. Also a big recommendation for Mukul the Tuk Tuk driver, he made our stay in Agra very special! If you are in Agra, you will have the best experience here! The rooms are nice and very comfortable as well. Greetings from Germany!

We had a fantastic stay here. The room was simple, clean and comfortable, exactly what we needed. The family were all lovely and it was nice to feel so welcomed and part of their home for the two days we were there. Mukul was a great tuk tuk driver for us to take us to the Taj and other sites. His recommendations were spot on and we genuinely appreciated everything he contributed during our stay. It was nice to see him feeding the street dogs at 6am on our way to the Taj and he even came to say goodbye the morning we left which was greatly appreciated. Thank you to Shiron, Mukul and everyone who helped us to have a fantastic stay. 🙏🏼

Delightful owners, knew exactly what guests wanted, and arranged their preferred tuk tuk driver to take us to our restaurant and to the Taj, waiting on both occasions!

Lovely Muslim family, very accommodating

Lovely overnight stay. Hosts couldn't be more helpful. Lovely and clean house. Beautiful decor. Lovely air conditioned room. Mukul the tuk tuk driver was great, punctual and welcoming. Took us everywhere we wanted to go, even booked our bus tickets for us. Very helpful, and overall a great short stay in Agra.

Absolutely nothing. Fabulous stay.

Lovely house and lovely people. Also Mukul is the driver for the tuk tuk is also great. The house is in a very safe place with a security guard and gated front.

Very nice and clean room! There is AC and a big fan. The bed is very comfortable and breakfast delicious. The owner gave us great recommendations for restaurants and attractions! The hotel organazied a tuktuk tour through the city for us. The driver was super friendly and funny. It felt like family. The location is very quiet but you are still close to many beautiful locations. You can walk to the Taj Mahal. Polite and kind people, would always recommend to stay here.

Very nice home, good location. Mukul the tuk tuk driver provided excellent service. He was a timely and safe driver and provided local recommendations. He woke up early to bring me to the train station on time, would recommend!

The AC in the room was a little loud but it kept the temperature cool

Very safe, quiet and friendly - part of a family home. Everything we needed. We were very pleased to meet Muluk, tuk-tuk driver, who works closely with the Homestay. He collected us from the station and made helpful suggestions for how to spend our 24hours in Agra. He helped us design a perfect programme and drove us around giving us complete freedom. It was really interesting to talk with him too.

We really liked our stay in Agra. Shiron was super friendly and gave us a very useful explanation of everything that we could do in the city. Next to that we talked about Indian culture. His family was very friendly and it really had a family house vibe. Shiron even helped us out when we got robbed. Great place to stay for a good price! We would definitely stay again.

It was a very pleasant stay and shiron and his whole family are able to make you feel at home! Beautiful place, clean, comfortable rooms with a bathroom that is really a good shower, breakfast, and dinner, with other hostel guests, which I found super nice!) On the top floor there are beautiful balcony overlooking colony and beautiful park !But the thing I loved the most was the way we were treated! We came from Delhi where we suffered a scam, and shiron helped us with everything to make the trip better, called the various hotels for us, gave us a lot of advice... as if we were part of the family! The hostel also does the money exchange service and organizes safe tours! With Nice tuk tuk driver Mukul is outstanding and punctuality always on time and professionalism our driver of the day. The whole experience was really 10/10

Nothing

The staff were AMAZING - Shiron the owner is so lovely and took such an interest in us, and Mukul the tuk-tuk driver absolutely made our stay, organising everything for us to visit the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort and took us to two amazing restaurants in Agra. Really lovely place too, great vibes and very chilled and breakfast was delicious. And amazing value for money also!

The air conditioning in the room was good for keeping cool but was a bit noisy.

Family business

Nothing

shiron the owner of homestay arrange a pick up from train station which is very reasonable in spite of train delayed they dont charge extra , mukul the driver showed all the monument around agra and give us good suggestion for dinner and lunch , it was too hot , but air conditioning working fine , owner of the homestay ( naghma ) help us to get cold filtered water , they also cooked us dinner which is amazing vegetarian, they are also in lonely planet , i recommend this place

nothing , bathrooms can be better

This is my first time in India, and my first time in Agra. It's also my first time staying here, and I'm impressed beyond words with this unfamiliar place. Especially with the hospitality of the homeowner, who chats with us, explains things to us, recommends our restaurant and shopping spots, and even gives us tips on what to do and what not to do when visiting tourist attractions. Thank you so much to the homeowner. If I have the chance, I will definitely come back again. Thankyou sweet family!
