Goyal Hoteliers - The Hotel Samovar

For the price, it was okay. The lack of hot water (even letting it run for 10 minutes) cost a star

It seemed like we were alpha-testing the facilities. Even the WIFI in the lobby was sketchy, and in the rooms was hopeless. Shower didn’t work in one room. Breakfast appeared to be makeshift in a deserted restaurant. I wish them luck as they pull together the pieces of a functional hotel.

Impressive hotel experience! Comfortable and clean rooms, delicious meals, and hassle-free parking. Staff were always courteous and helpful. The hotel maintains hygiene and service, and its location near the city’s highlights is very convenient...

Decent hotel to stay if visit I g Agra. Decent room, spacious and working shower. WiFi was a bit unstable. It’s 20 minutes walking from tai Mahal and right by the metro station which takes you directly to Agra fort. Very convenient.

R1,900 a night (£16.50) for two inc small breakfast isn’t much, but we’ve stayed in far better places for less. Staff were disengaged, common areas were dirty and littered with the same debris throughout our 3 day stay. Room was decent size, but very dusty and dirty. Shower curtain and fittings etc filthy. No fridge, A/C and fan worked, but noisy. Very limited breakfast grudgingly prepared in the dingy basement restaurant Hotel probably quite nice 20 years ago, but looks like it’s been completely neglected ever since. On the plus side, it had a proper reception, felt safe, provided toilet paper and had excellent hot water if you remembered to turn the cylinder on. The upmarket Pinch of Spice restaurant next door was terrific, but is (justifiably) expensive by Indian standards.

Staying at Goyal Hoteliers near the Taj Mahal was a delightful experience. The 24-hour hot water and parking facilities were a plus. The staff were courteous, and safety was a priority. Thank you for sharing this gem.

施設は古いが掃除が行き届いていて好感が持てる。水圧／wifiは弱い。スタッフは親切。周りにサブウェイやハンバーガlーがある。

Do not believe the reviews!!! Upon arrival at the hotel we found out international credit cards weren’t accepted! Would have been nice to know beforehand. When we got to the room the bathrooms were filthy, not just a little…but gross. Wifi wasn’t working on our floor. Street noise was a problem. We asked for our money back and they moved us to a sister hotel not far away. Cleanliness wasn’t much better but tolerable. Took quite a while to get wifi to work. Decided to give it a chance, was woken up at 3am from people on the floor checking in/getting there, this went on for an hour. Went to call front desk but no phone. Got dressed and went to complain. We got a refund for the second night and went somewhere else!

Goyal Hoteliers in Agra is a gem near the Taj Mahal. The 24-hour hot water and parking facilities made the stay hassle-free. The staff were friendly and safety-conscious. Appreciate the recommendation.

Had a very enjoyable experience. The hotel was easy to reach, and the surroundings were calm and scenic. Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff were friendly and efficient. Meals were well-prepared and delicious. Overall, a great place to stay..

Staff was not dressed professionally and could not be differentiated from someone on the street. The hotel was dirty and not well presented. The room was dirty, the glass on the shower glass panel had soap scum making it look awful and the end table had used condom wrappers left from the previous people. Awful experience. Avoid this place.

Clean rooms, clean towels, clean bathrooms – everything was great.

Very professional service and sparkling clean rooms.

The hotel’s cleanliness standards are truly impressive.

We we arrived we realized the property qas not the one on the pictures, so they took us to other “better” property. Big waste of time! Bathroom was disguising and dirty. AC didn’t work, they provide hot water just till 3pm. So we’ve had to take a cold shower. Kettle didn’t work, as well as rhe TV, and mini fridge, guess what, didn’t work either

Cleanliness and comfort stood out during my stay. The hotel had a calm, quiet atmosphere with clean corridors and rooms. Room service was prompt and the check-in process was smooth. Hot water, Wi-Fi, and AC worked perfectly. A great stay overall — I’d definitely return.

Everything about this hotel was terrible. Don't believe any of the reviews. We think they are all fake. When we arrived, there were no towels and the water wasn't running. The whole room is shabby and run down. The bathroom floor was wet from a continuous leak. And all of the fixtures are filthy..The pillows did not have cases and were dirty. The bathroom has no knob, the walls are dirty. We paid for the breakfast and dinner included, but at dinner the options are limited to a few choices and there were no beverages. The breakfast consists of different types of bread.

the room was not cleaned after the previous stay. i couldn't stay there!!

A well-kept hotel with a very peaceful vibe. The room was airy, the amenities worked properly and the hygiene was impressive. I found the location convenient and easy to navigate from.

My experience here was genuinely pleasant. The room felt fresh, the bathroom was spotless and the staff ensured a smooth and comfortable stay. It’s a great option for both short and long visits.

Enjoyed the stay. The room was tidy and well ventilated.

The rooms are ok but can be improved.

The hotel maintains a clean and calm environment. The room had a modern touch without being overly decorated, and the service quality was steady and polite. Overall, a dependable place to stay.

Comfortable room with clean interiors. The environment was peaceful and quiet. Perfect for weekend getaways.

My family and I had a short stay at Goyal Hoteliers and we were really pleased with the experience. The room was spacious, very clean, and had a cozy feel to it. We were especially happy with how well-kept the bathroom was—it looked recently cleaned and had no issues whatsoever. The beds were made with fresh linen and we could see that cleanliness was a priority for them. What made the stay even better was the location. It's barely a 5-7 minute walk to the Taj Mahal, which made it incredibly easy to plan our visits. We didn’t have to worry about hiring transport every time. The staff were helpful, even bringing us tea in the morning with a smile. Overall, it felt like a comfortable, homey stay at a very fair price. If you're visiting the Taj and want a clean, reliable place to rest, this is a great option.

Rooms were fresh and well-maintained. I felt safe and relaxed during my stay. Highly recommended for solo or family trips.

Rooms are exactly as shown in pictures – clean and spacious.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Rooms were spotless and comfortable, food was delicious, and the staff showed remarkable professionalism. The hotel’s pleasant atmosphere makes it a perfect choice for business travelers as well as families visiting for relaxation.

This hotel is a perfect example of how great service can transform a simple stay into an exceptional one. The staff was polite and always smiling. The rooms were spotless and well-equipped with everything one might need. I appreciated the quiet and peaceful ambiance, which made for a very relaxing stay. The restaurant’s food quality and presentation were excellent. I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit to Agra.

We stayed at hotel during our trip to Agra and found it to be a very good experience. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and has a friendly atmosphere. The staff was attentive and helpful, guiding us with transportation and sightseeing tips. For travelers from abroad, this hotel is a reliable and comfortable choice.

10 star service and quality. Professional and incredibly helpful staff. Delicious food. Clean, spacious rooms. Brilliant location. This was my best stay in India. I would recommend it to everyone!!!

The hotel was helpful beforehand and arranged a car to meet us at Tundla Junction Station. The driver was excellent and we found each other easily. I hsd been told to pay rhe hotel. On arrival after check in the mansger asked for the money.. i gave him 2000IR expecting 200IR change which never materialised. During check in the manager kept trying to sell us Taj tours and other tours. I said we had a taj tour. But asked him about another tour He came up with a quote and i said I'd go back to him the next day as it sermed expensive. That night we ate in the very strange basement restaurant- the only diners. The food came out quicly and we enjoyed it. BUT by nect day we hoth had a dreadful stomach upsets that then.lasted about 8 day's. Assisted by the Taj tour guide we got some. medication. Managed the Taj trip as it was just a short one. We arranged another trip for the next day. Bssed on how we felt. On walking back into the hotel the manager immediately wanted to know if we wanted the tour. I said no we were ill from eating in the hotel restaurant. No offer off compensation. When leaving he tried again to sell us a car and driver. I'll not be going here again!!

A wonderful place to stay. The property is clean, well-maintained, and quiet. Rooms were comfortable with soft beds and adequate lighting. Staff were professional, friendly, and attentive. Meals were delicious and presented nicely. I appreciated the personalized service and attention to detail. Thank you Goyal Hoteliers.

“From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth and professional. Highly impressed

I stayed at hotel during a corporative visit and found it very efficient for business needs. The rooms are clean and comfy, the wifi is reliable, and the staff is attentive without being intrusive.The hotel also arranged transport for meetings,which saved time.

Enjoyed every moment of our stay. The ambiance was peaceful, rooms neat and organized, and the bed extremely comfortable. Staff went the extra mile to make our experience enjoyable. Food was tasty, freshly prepared, and served on time. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions. Hotel's staff focused on cleanliess very much. Thank you Goyal Hoteliers for made our stay memorable.

A good inexpensive place to stay within walking distance of the Taj Mahal.

A well-kept hotel with a very peaceful vibe. The room was airy, the amenities worked properly and the hygiene was impressive. I found the location convenient and easy to navigate from.

During my solo trip to Agra, I booked Goyal Hoteliers mainly for its proximity to the Taj Mahal. What I didn't expect was how clean and comfortable the stay would be. The room was compact but incredibly well-kept. Everything was arranged neatly, the air felt fresh, and the bathroom was in top condition—no odors or stains, just sparkling clean. The hotel is tucked away in a peaceful area yet so close to the Taj that I could easily walk there and catch both sunrise and sunset views without hassle. The staff was polite, check-in was smooth, and they even gave some local tips. For a solo traveler looking for safety, cleanliness, and a prime location, this place is a gem. I’d come back again and also recommend it to friends traveling on a budget without compromising on comfort or hygiene.

Decent hotel to stay if visit I g Agra. Decent room, spacious and working shower. WiFi was a bit unstable. It’s 20 minutes walking from tai Mahal and right by the metro station which takes you directly to Agra fort. Very convenient.

You get what you pay for, so it’s hard to complain about hotel samovar. While handily situated near the big sites of Agra, the hotel is a bit on the grubby side, despite its affordability. Reasonable eating options are also nearby. If on a budget, you’ll make do with this place.

Goyal Hoteliers really impressed me with their cleanliness and service. I’m very particular about hygiene, and I was pleasantly surprised to find the room exceptionally neat. The floor was spotless, the bedsheets crisp and clean, and the bathroom sanitized thoroughly. It felt like staying in a much higher-end hotel. Besides cleanliness, the location is unbeatable. You can walk to the Taj Mahal in under 10 minutes, which is so convenient, especially if you want to beat the crowd at sunrise. The staff was courteous and always ready to help. They even arranged an auto for us at a reasonable price. I stayed here with my family, and all of us had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. It's not a luxury hotel, but for the price and what they offer, it exceeded my expectations. Definitely recommend it for tourists visiting Agra.

Excellent location and very clean environment. Worth the money.

I had an amazing stay at Goyal Hoteliers during my recent trip to Agra. The best part was the location—it’s literally just a short walk from the Taj Mahal, which made visiting early in the morning so easy and peaceful. The hotel itself is very clean and well-maintained. The room I stayed in was spotless, the bed linen smelled fresh, and the bathroom was hygienic. The staff were polite and quick to respond to requests. I loved how quiet the environment was despite being so close to a tourist hotspot. For the price, it was absolutely worth it. If you're planning to visit the Taj and want a comfortable, clean place nearby without spending too much, this is it. Highly recommended!

Hotel was excellent and it was a great stay. Food was awesome and taste was flavourful. Rooms were well maintained and bathroom cleanliness was excellent. Staff was helpful, made our trip comfortable. Location was very close to the Taj Mahal and other major attractions. Everything was perfect. Definitely recommend!

Truly an enjoyable stay where comfort and service stand out. The hotel is well-maintained, the food is flavorful, and the staff is attentive and polite. The inviting ambiance makes it suitable for both professional stays and casual leisure trips.

Location was the most important for me; separately provided breakfast was excellent.

Everything about this hotel was terrible. Don't believe any of the reviews. We think they are all fake. When we arrived, there were no towels and the water wasn't running. The whole room is shabby and run down. The bathroom floor was wet from a continuous leak. And all of the fixtures are filthy..The pillows did not have cases and were dirty. The bathroom has no knob, the walls are dirty. We paid for the breakfast and dinner included, but at dinner the options are limited to a few choices and there were no beverages. The breakfast consists of different types of bread.

We were not originally given the class of room that we had booked. The manager either didn't understand that we had pre-booked a tour (or something more sinister), but he arranged a guide to arrive next morning despite being told no - I had to disappoint the guide, poor fellow. Not sure if there is a well-located hotel in Agra - it's all a bit full-on. Don't choose this hotel if you want to walk anywhere. The restaurant downstairs has good dinner, but the breakfast isn't great. There's a great place next door (with an alcohol licence), and a couple of good clothing shops nearby.
