As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and welcomed at the Orchid retreat homestay. The host Vikrant is incredibly attentive, and the homestay is located in a quiet & secure area. The room was clean and cozy, and the homemade meals were delicious. Taj Mahal is just walking from here. I highly recommend this place for a comfortable and secure stay in Agra!

I had a pleasant stay at the Orchid retreat. Vikrant and his family were very friendly and helpful. He even helped me recharge my local sim card so i could make an overseas call. The rooms are large and clean. The food was delicious and there is a really nice large sitting area on each floor between the rooms. The guest house is very walkable to the Taj Mahal entry gate or to the golf cart parking area if you dont want to walk all the way to the gate. There are several restaurants and local places to eat in the area. I thought it was excellent value.

We really enjoyed our quick stay at The Orchid Retreat in Agra, India! I was surprised how close we were staying to the Taj Mahal, as we were able to walk there to get in line & buy tickets in advance online. The staff were so timely, friendly, & helpful with Taj arrangements and information. The rooms were well maintained and cleaned nicely. The food was very nice. It’s a family run facility, as I really enjoyed that and liked supporting a family business. When in Agra in the future, we will be staying there again! Thanks 😊!

I had a wonderful one-night stay at The Orchid Retreat Homestay in Agra. As a foreign traveler, I was welcomed with warmth and hospitality, making me feel completely at ease. The room was clean, cozy, and equipped with all the essentials. The location was convenient, allowing easy access to the Taj Mahal and other local attractions. What stood out the most was the personalized attention from the hosts, who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this homestay for anyone looking for an authentic and peaceful stay in Agra.

Excellent guesthouse

Rather than a hotel, this is a guesthouse. Vikrant and his family are very welcoming and kind. They'll do their very best for a smooth stay in Agra. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be organized for you, and Vikrant will also make a private vehicle available for your visits, in particular in Fathepur Sikri (for a very competitive rate). Your hosts will make sure you avoid all sorts of scams unfortunately common in very touristy Agra! I do recommend totally 100%!

This was the best hotel I have stayed at in all of India so far. Vikrant was so very helpful to us and helped us book our trains and even helped us find a taxi to Agra from Delhi when we failed to secure transport in time. He was simply so caring and helpful. We would have been lost without him! The rooms were so clean.., not a dust or stain anywhere and the bed was comfy and the aircon perfect! This was for my family with 2 adults and 3 kids who stayed in another room in the same floor. Each floor had its own living room/dining area that was beautiful! We would definitely visit again and recommend to all.
