I will be in Agra for the second time. Last time I came it was a quick trip, and I was not able to stay there the night, but this time I wish to be in Agra for at least two days.

All the Moderate hotels around tha Taj are horrible!!!! All are shabby, ill managed, bad client service and most of them are not well equipped to accomodate as many people as they do. I would suggest not to stay in any of these. Find yourself a good hotel in Agra Town.
