Moses made us feel completely at home and organised a great day for us in Agra and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. He went above and beyond - helped us check our trains, made us a packed lunch for our onward train journey and got up early to ensure we departed okay. He obviously loves travellers and has lots of useful and interesting information for exploring Agra and India. The food cooked by himself and his family is delicious. The place is spotless and cosy, and we would happily come again to stay. Only regret is that we didn't have an extra day to go on the bike tours and cooking class which his family runs. Also they have a Beagle puppy called sky who is very cute.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Excellent I recently stayed at the hostel Joey's in Agra, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The comfortable beds, and clean facilities made for a great stay. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with any questions or requests. The location was perfect, with easy access to the Taj Mahal and beautiful surroundings. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Agra for a memorable and budget-friendly stay😊

    I couldn't have asked for a better stay in Agra than at Goyal Hoteliers! The staff's warm hospitality and the hotel's commitment to safety truly set it apart. Plus, the budget-friendly rates make it accessible to all travelers.

    The hostel is fine for backpackers. The location is perfect, it is only 4min walk from the Taj Mahal, so you can comfortably walk there for the sunrise. The staff was great and the teracce with Taj Mahal view is definitely the main benefit. We also appreciate the locker possible after checkout. The food was great, the prices are a little bit higher to the average but still fine.

    The hostel is well located with a 5 minute walk to the Taj Mahal's East Gate and lots of restaurants nearby. I stayed in the 4 bed mixed dorm and found everything ok. Again, super friendly and helpful staff. Undoubtedly nothing can beat the views from the terrace. Best hostel in Agra.

    Joey's hostel is located right near the Taj Mahal, you can't get much closer & is very convenient for your visit. The view from the rooftop is really nice. Stay here if that is what you are looking for - great location & cheap prices!

    Stayed in the dormitory - It's cheap, compared to a few other hostels down the road. So if you're really looking to save ₹100 or ₹200, this is your place. However, my recommendation is to spend that extra amount and get a much much more comfortable stay. They do provide lockers with keys.

    Budget accommodation with a superb location. Just few meters from Taj Mahal gate. The room is nothing special, the window couldnt be open, many mosquitos and hot room. BUT - you are going for a cheap budget hostel so you should expect it. If you are looking for something cheap and close to Taj Mahal, it is good choice for you ;)
