“Colourful cosy arty homestay with dinner near Taj Mahal”
The colourful arty homestay was everything we hoped it would be and a short rickshaw ride to visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise at 05h40. We returned for a great breakfast at 08h30 before saying goodbye to the other friendly guests we ate a 7Euro pp delicious dinner with the night before who were just leaving to visit the Taj Mahal. The rooms were quirky and with block print sheets on the comfy beds and with a terrace per floor where you could lounge in a swing seat and enjoy the climbing plants, birds, kites and street sounds.

“We hit the jackpot finding this perfectly colourful stay ~ an easy walk to the Taj Mahal”
The location is in a quiet, private and well tree lined road. The courtyard style entry welcomes filled with plants and colour. This theme of being embraced by colour and detail continued throughout this woman led property. Rooms are spacious with an internal restaurant. We will most certainly book again.

“Very welcoming homestay”
Beautifully decorated with lovely sitting areas and rooftop terrace. The staff are very kind, accommodating and excellent cooks. The room was very large with both ceiling fans and air-conditioning, beds comfortable and location perfect for a sunrise Taj Mahal visit.

“Lovely stay, tranquil oasis close to Taj Mahal.”
Beautiful, well-kept, little oasis in Agra. Beautiful courtyard and a lovely rooftop with views over Agra and to the Taj. Relatively close, and a very easy, walk to the Taj. Wonderful food, and lovely hospitable staff who were very welcoming.

A lovely stay for two nights at Coral House. Hosts were really helpful, food was very good - we had breakfast two mornings & dinner on one evening. Beds were comfy & the shower was good. The location is superb, around 10 minutes walk to the east gate entrance for the Taj Mahal. Tuk Tuk driver outside called Saleem (blue roofed electric tuk tuk) was recommended by the Homestay & he didn’t disappoint. Great value for money.

Beautiful & cozy outdoor areas, clean rooms. Comfy bed. Mosquito nets at the windows! Very handy location, 10 min walk to the gates of the Taj Mahal. Friendly & helpful reception! Definitely recommend the bookable dinner - delicious & convenient. Breakfast was the best on our trip!

Room and toilet were extremely clean. The place is beautiful, the rooftop was very nice and the common areas were very pleasant to stay. Food was very good, highly recommended. And the staff was incredible: very helpful before and after the check-in, and with a great suggestion for a taxi, which took us to the Wildlife SOS sites (Agra Bear Rescue Facility and the Elephant Conservation and Care Center) for the day, and back to Delhi. The place is at a walking distance from the Taj Mahal (do not listen to tuk tuk drivers: it is a 15 minutes, slow paced walk).
