Laurie's Hotel
Mahatma Gandhi Road
+91 562 2364536
An old colonial hotel from the British era some say it hasn't been upgraded since!, Laurie's retains some of the charm of travelling in India in days of yore. Rooms with impossibly high ceilings fans, no aircon, lead off from verandahs with nice lawns outside. A swimming pool from yesteryears graces the lawn unfortunately closed in the winter. But you can get British era service with 'bed tea', excellent freshly made chicken curry and rice to order, and creaky plumbing. Some people will love it, others hate it, but you can't be indifferent to Laurie's!

Hotel Mandakini Villas
Fatehabad Road, Purani Mandi, Taj Ganj (Next to Western Gate of Taj Mahal), Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India
+91 5626453854
Rates start at â¹2,690
200 metres from the Taj Mahal's West Gate. It offers air-conditioned rooms each with cable TV with 100 channels, broadband Internet connection, private bathroom with cold water and direct-dial phone. You might get a little bit warmer than cold water by requesting it from the reception a few times. It is not possible to sleep without ear plugs in the first floor because of the noise coming from corridor and reception all night. Get a room from higher floors.

Thanks to heavy competition, Agra's five-star hotels are pretty good value compared to most other cities in India.
