We stayed three nights at the Hotel Surya. We went for the most expensive room type as it was the end of our trip and we wanted to relax next to the pool and stay somewhere nice. The room was a nice size and the bathroom had a shower over bath, so it was nice not to have water everywhere... more

All reviews of Indian hotels must be considered in the context of Indian hotels, not all others. We booked eight nights at this hotel on Hostelworld for Rs 630 (A$20.29) per night. The Hotel Surya is a short distance down the third lane off The Mall Road which means that the rooms are quiet. It is a fairly large hotel... more

Quite a large hotel with large grounds , a good restaurant & a pool. We had a Deluxe A/con with B&B for under 1500Rs per night & found it fine. The hotel was clean & the staff generally helpful & friendly - apart from one or two waiters who seemed to resent having customers. The restaurant served decent food at... more

Rooms are quite ok, restaurant with garden also not bad but staff were incredibly rude. One evening one of receptionist admited that breakfast is included and next morning he changed his mind. I know it is not a big amount but what the heck, one day price includes breakfast and next day it does not. What was more funny, he... more

It looks beautiful and has every facilities inside. But once there, it turns into a bunker. There's a man with a red beard that tries to cheat you in every possible way. You will pay to see the "silk market" and he will drive you to his personal factory or into shops where he gets commission. Lots of pressure. Everything... more

Having read The Lonely Planet guide and being very tired from a long train journey from Agra, we decided to treat ourselves and stay at the Surya. Another reason for doing so was that it was quite close to the train station, getting dark and loads of taxi drivers were trying to rip us off. Yes, compared to many hostels... more

was a haven for me after a hairy train trip from agra. clean, great staff, hard beds!, food in restaurant very nice and lovely little shop on site selling all sorts of giftware and snacks etc. internet service great with several computers. I paid 750Rs per night and ended up staying a week as I was unsure of my plans... more

My sister and I stayed at the Surya during a 2-week "budget/mid-priced" trip to India. We chose it based on Lonely Planet reviews, and focused mainly on finding a place in the Cantonment area (nearer the train station and further from the Ghats). In retrospect, I think we both wish we had stayed at one of the hotels near the... more

I was pleasently surprised how good this hotel was. For one thehy had hot water available in the mornings for showers and even at nite... No bucketed showers required. The staff at front desk are freindly, and the hotel also has a internet cafe and a restaurant. The food in the restaurant is delicious, but prob a lot more expensive... more
