Very helpful and friendly staff. The owner even gave us a lock for our backpacks for free.

I stayed at the guest house for two days, arrived early and checked out late - without any problem. Beautiful house, helpful staff, and the room was more that what was advertised. I booked a room with a shared bathroom and instead got a bath the size of a regular room in Moldova, just for myself! The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, close to several schools, and yet very close to the main arteries of the city, minutes away from the Taj by taxi/rickshaw. HIghly recommended!

Krishna Hostel is very clean for Indian standards. The staff is friendly and have good intentions. However, they are incompetent. Do not use any of the services they say they provide. If you need train, bus, or a tour booked, you are best going to a travel agent. If you want a tea, it's going to take them 30 minutes to make on a hot plate. There are too many times when I could not even find a staff member. The hostel is in a very nice neighbourhood and only 30 min walk max to the Taj Mahal.

A friend and I stayed at Krishna for 2 days and had a great time! The staff was very friendly and helpful and it was a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of India.

The staff member on the front desk was helpful .The room was ok but the air conditioner plug and socket were hanging of the wall and sparked when you turned it of or on.I gave up because of the obvious risk.shower was hot and worked but the bathroom was rather grimey..No problem about reservation and for a little extra I had a late check out.No fault of the hostel but if you like wild dogs serenading you at night then this is the place for you!

Agra is a busy tourist city. Two of my friends and I booked at the Krishna for a 2-night stay by searching this website for reviews; this one received the highest for its price. Positives: Great internet access, good restaurant around the corner, and a host that was always available for assistance. Good breakfast. Negatives: There was a mouse in the room, no hot water, and the AC was broken.

The staffs were very helpful. The bathroom was very dirty. The location is far away from main road is you will have to arrange transportation to get to any place. A bunch of dogs start gather in area close to the hostel & start barking early in the morning.

This hostel would have been passable if they had not lied through their teeth regarding facilities and location. The hostel is nowhere near Fatehabad road, as our autorickshaw driver kindly informed us. They boasted a shop and onsite restaurant of which they had neither. The AC unit in the room was home to a bird, trapped in the vent. When we pointed this out we were met with a halfhearted attempt to kill the poor thing, a shrug and the phrase "sometimes that happens".

Everyone was friendly and you get what you pay for. The room is huge, but the bed is not the most comfortable and the location is in a residential area in Agra.

Bathroom was filthy, ownet was too keen on selling services (he is himself a tourist guide), the bedroom was average. It seemed to be located in a secure and quite area, but that means also that you need more to time to get to the places of interest.

Had a great time. The guys were very helpful and accommodating. Food is available for R250 if you want to stay in. I would recommend it.

very friendly house feel, the louse located in a residential area, a primary school near it, which is a extra visit point for you. the house holder is very good man when he knew we ( 2 CH 1 USA) were still on the waiting list of AC3 to varanasi on Feb 4, he drive us to the station and help us to buy the sleeper tickets to get on that train at last minute. on my first arrvial date Feb 3 night 10 pm, I was so hungry and that time no dinner at hotel, so they opend the kitchen for me, thanks.

Great place to stay in Agra. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The common area at the entrance, though small, is a very good place to meet other travelers and relax after seeing the attractions of Agra.

The staff is one off the friendliest i've met so far on my travels. They made me feel very welcome from the very first moment. Place is quiet by indianbigcity-stantards and the guys are working on improving the facilities even better! Only minus was the very worn mattress of my bed and electricity problem on the waterheater/shower. All in all a GREAT place! Yoga and meditation equipment is coming I heard :)

Fine place to stay. Inexpensive autorickshaw ride from the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort. No restaurant on site and the closest restaurants were too far for me to feel comfortable walking to them alone at night. Pizza Hut does deliver though!

This hostel is very new and I think a lot of the issues that we had with the place will be ironed out the longer they stay open however there isn't much atmosphere to this place, the breakfast and dinner though free were not that great and our room was filled with mosquitoes when we arrived. Our hot water didn't work in our room but did in our friends. It wasn't that bad but I probably wouldn't recommend it.
