Hotel Kamal Nearest to Taj Mahal

to be honest, this is the only hotel in agra which has the taj mahal’s closest straight view hospitality was top notch(specially from raju and son) rooms were very good (superior double bedroom) ground floor cafe is good, terrace cafe is decent but view makes it good food/kitchen area is hygienic and clean. taste is okayish but homely. and to top it off, taj mahal entry gate would be just 100steps away🤩 few issues in parking space but it’s manageable.

Second visit to agra first time in 2019 and stayed at this property Kamal hotel.Wonderful place very homely and amazing view of Taj from rooftop. Amazing hospitality and rooms were clean.The staff and owner are very kind we can't wait to come back ,felt like home

I have stayed at Kamal previously, and enjoyed a lovely suite on the ground floor (level 1). Things have gone south over 10 years apparently. We checked in and provided our Bookings.com PIN and confirmation numbers. After several phone calls it became apparent the rooms booked were either no longer available or the booking couldn't be found. Ah India... We eventually were allocated two rooms on 2nd level. Both were basic but OK. I received a small electric shock when switching on the bedside light, but a quick fiddle soon established a more permanent connection. No A/C, which was fine given we travelled in February, but would hate to stay here in hotter months. There is a rooftop area with a fine view of the Taj, and food/beverages are available there or the dining room. Kamal is still one of the better budget places to stay in the Taj Ganj area, however it is in need of a little renovation. And a complete electrical rewiring!
