We got to Agra in our second week in India, so we pretty much knew what to expect in a hotel. Bring travel sheets wherever you go. The rickshaw from the train station costs around 60 INR, and beware that the driver will speak perfect English and try to become very friendly with you. Do not believe anything he says.... more

It's definitely a good choice if you want Taj Mahal 15 seconds away from your door. Indeed, in an overcrowded, dirty and touristic Agra the garden they have in front of the hotel is a true paradise. It's so well-cared for that it seems impossible in India, beautiful plants, old trees, a lot of birds singing and even a balancing... more

i stayed in hotel sheela for two nights. the place actually not so bad, but the staffs are terrible. they were not nice at all and not helpful. me and my friends had some problems with them even from the start when we just arrived at the hotel. more

We stayed there on the second night of our India trip, and it was a mistake not to take a more upscale hotel so early in the trip. I was ready to go home, depressed and disgusted. The room was depressing- no windows, like a jail cell, but clean. The shower tap didn't work, there was a good AC, but... more

Our room was okay : a clean bed (with clean sheets) a fan and a clean bathroom with shower and western toilet. No decoration or charm, but that's not what you usually get in a budget hotel. However, it was surprisingly and pleasantly quiet (the hotel is in a garden, in the zone where vehicles are forbidden !) as well... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Sheela for a night as part of a 2 week trip around Rajasthan. It was without doubt the worst place we stayed during our trip.We had a very uncomfortable night here and would say that no matter what your budget there will be better options available. Of the 12 people who stayed as... more

I made the reservation by phone when I was already in India. This hotel has a great location for the Taj Mahal. Our only problem was we got here at about 3am on the overnight train from Delhi and we had a really hard time getting them to open the gate and let us in. We only slept for a... more

Hotel Sheela is located near the East Gate only 100m from the Taj Mahal. The location is really handy - we caught a motorised tuk tuk from Cantonment Station to the East Gate and then we walked about 5 minutes to the hotel. We payed 50 rupees for the ride. The hotels proximity to the Taj allows you to get... more

Located in the green belt around the Taj Mahal, so if that's what you are going for you are right there literally!!!! Hotel was pretty basic. Room had two beds and nothing else. Air conditioning was nice and quiet, including a ceiling fan. No toilet paper supplied(extra charge), and the toilet was less than clean. Breakfast area is located in... more
