Perfect place to stay with superior comfort in a family atmosphere. Highly recommended if you want to be closer to the Taj Mahal. (Huge plus: the comfiest beds I’ve encountered in India!)🤩

We had one of the best experiences staying here with my family. From the moment we arrived, the owner told us, “It’s not a hotel, it’s your home,” and that truly reflected throughout our stay. The owner, Vikrant, is an extremely kind, genuine, and helpful person. He guided us very well during our visits to Agra, Mathura, and Fatehpur Sikri, making our trip smooth and enjoyable. A special mention to the home-cooked food prepared by Aunty—it was fresh, delicious, and gave us the comforting feeling of “ghar ka khana.” I would strongly and personally recommend The Orchid Retreat to anyone looking for a warm, homely, and memorable stay experience.

Wonderful stay with a loving and caring family: Me and my wife stayed at the Orchid Retreat, Agra from Feb 25th to 27th. The Retreat is at a walkable distance from the east gate of Taj, and hence extremely convenient for visiting Taj at sunrise. We had a wonderful time there. Our stay was quite comfortable and pleasant. Our room and attached bathroom were spick and span clean. We had three meals there during our stay. The home-cooked food was very good and was custom-made as per our choice. Vikrant Ji offered useful tips with regard to our sight seeing and purchase of the local specialities. We strongly recommend this home stay to everyone seeking a comfortable and rewarding stay in Agra.

The accommodation is excellent, very clean everywhere. All the staff are very helpful and make you feel comfortable and at home. The food is all home cooked and really nice. There is a menu in your room and you can ring the kitchen and your food is brought to you. It is within walking distance of the Taj Mahal with a simple route to get there. There is a SBI cash machine located on the road to the Taj Mahal too if you need cash during your stay. The accommodation is located on a quiet road which made it peaceful during my stay. I would thoroughly recommend Orchid Retreat Homestay.

Would rate 10/5 if I could. They make you feel like family. The staff is amazing and informative. At check in they send you tips and information to avoid being scammed. The food from the kitchen is delicious and affordable. We were lucky enough to be there for Holi and the staff celebrated with us.

The home stay was a pleasant one with the owner being nice and helpful. He catered to our request for home made roti and sabji at short notice. Regarding cleanliness, the place was clean. Behind the homestay is a public park that allowed us to go for morning walk.

The homestay is a must recommend if you are looking for place near Taj Mahal East Gate. Taj Mahal East Gate is at a walkable distance. And there are market nearby if you need anything. Rooms are well maintained. Food is also amazing. Staffs are goold and well behaved. And the homestay owner family is wonderful host. They are warm, welcoming, and friendly. They would also help you hire an auto if you need. They would also guide you on places to go around Agra. The Auto driver was really helpful which i hired from nearby the hotel with reasonable prices.
