For the price, this is a great choice. The room was basic and the bathroom was a bit grimy. There was no hot water when we were there although we were told this was a temporary problem and they did provide us with buckets of hot water! The communal eating area and garden was really nice and it was good... more

We spent one night at the Hotel Sheela and I am still debating how to review this hotel. On one hand the location was just about the best you can get to the Taj Mahal East Gate. That alone is worth a lot! The outside of the hotel and courtyards were absolutely charming and adorable. The price is fantastic. But...... more

very basic rooms Cold water (maybe just that day?) nice gardens, great location, right next to Taj more

This hotel is in a great location just outside the East Gate of the Taj Mahal.. Rooms are basic but comfortable. But is you are only in Agra for a short period of time this is ideal. The rooms are good value for money. more

We stayed five nights. The Hotel Sheela is just outside the east gate making for easy access to the Taj. It is located in a traffic exclusion zone, so it's fairly quiet in the evening. The room we had was simple and a bit dated, but the bungalow / motel style building created a comfortable environment - a welcome alternative... more

I have stayed at the Hotel Sheela on my past two trips to India. It was recommended to me by my manager who used to lead tours in India. If you've not been to Agra, the area around the Taj Mahal is ... overwhelming... for lack of a better word. The hotel is excellently placed so that you could walk... more
