The Orchid Retreat

Das Hotel liegt in einer Nebengasse und ist daher sehr ruhig in der Nacht. Die Zimmer entsprechen nicht den Fotos. Jedes Zimmer hat unterschiedliche alte Klimaanlagen welche dementsprechend schlecht funktionieren. Der Duschkopf im Bad war verkalkt und schimmelig das kaum Wasser kam. Der Hausbesitzer war sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Das Zimmer war Sauber und Ansprechend. Die Klimaanlage war nicht zu regulieren und für mich unbrauchbar. Der Duschkopf war mit grünen Ablagerungen verziert.. naja.. Der Chef war sehr freundlich und stand uns mit Rat und Tat zur Seite.👍

Had a Wonderful experience at the little orchid home stay. The rooms are very modern and well provided for although a little bit of maintenance like the de-calcification of the shower head would have improved it further. Service was top notch and Vikrant is really helpful in providing us with recommendations on how to plan our itinerary and suggestions on how to not fall for some of the common “scams” in Agra. Really appreciated the complimentary bottled water and newspapers provided daily. The best thing which made me gave it 5 stars is the food! If you stay here please don’t look anywhere else to try some really good home cooked Indian food. Expect for two occasions we always ate at the home stay. The food is delicious, hygienic and not expensive at all. We got the room with the “garden” view which had a view to the park near by and was very quiet. You could hear the birds sing in the morning. Overall totally recommend this lovely home stay!!

Nice room and clean bathroom in a quiet area. Very useful tips from the owner which helped to make our Agra stay very pleasant. The B&B was located just of the main road leading to the Taj Mahal East Gate which a only a 20 minute walk (early morning to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise).

It was a spectacular stay! The owner was so attentive, helpful and a real breath of fresh air (actually caring for foreigners and their experience with ethical considerations and heartfelt advice). The room was super cozy and we absolutely loved home cooked delicious meals that you can order just outside your room in a beautiful dining area. We couldn't recommend it enough! And of course how amazing is to be able to WALK straight to Taj Mahal in only 15min♡

My recent experience at The Orchid Retreat in Agra was truly excellent. Its location is a significant advantage, being conveniently near the magnificent Taj Mahal, which made visiting the monument incredibly easy. From start to finish, my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The service provided by the hotel staff was also noteworthy – they were attentive, helpful, and really contributed to a positive experience. In particular, the owner was exceptionally helpful, and their behavior was truly remarkable, making me feel very welcome and well-cared for. I was also particularly impressed with the food, which had a wonderful, homely quality. It was a refreshing change and genuinely delicious. The overall atmosphere of The Orchid Retreat was very welcoming, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Agra who values a great location near the Taj Mahal, excellent service, a helpful and exceptionally well-behaved owner, and delicious, home-style food. I look forward to the possibility of staying there again in the future!
