Anukampa Paying Guest House

Sehr aufmerksamer perfekt englisch sprechender Service mit täglich frischem Trinkwasser, Balkon und Dachterrasse. Lediglich die Dusche funktioniert nicht mehr richtig und muss dringend instand gesetzt werden. Perfekte fussläufige Lage zum Taj Mahal

The good reviews for Anukampa Paying Guest House here on TripAdvisor and elsewhere have me doubting to review system. Anukampa is not a nice place to stay. I booked a room there with my son to cap a 2-week trip in India staying at budget 3-star places. Good points: the staff seem like nice people. The location is walking distance to the East Gate of the Taj Mahal. Bad points. Our room was very small, smaller than other 3-star places. It lacked amenities that other 3-star places provided. The shower/toilet was strangely designed with a single floor, no shower curtain or divider, so the floor around the toilet was wet. The hotel provided flip flops for using the washroom. Ew! Who wants to use shared flipflops?! Speaking of the toilet, a clump of somebody's poo was dried onto the bidet head. There was no noise insulation at all so we could hear staff, other guests, and monkeys. Yes, there were monkeys on the room's little balcony. I like monkeys, but these were not charming monkeys. Noisy poo machines. I have other complaints but will stop there. This is not a 3-star hotel; it's a cholera death wish. Stay away.

The guest house is fantastic - great location in walking distance of the Taj, nice private rooms, set back from the main road so a little quieter. Actually looks better than the pictures. Has all the amenities you need and Prashant is extremely communicative. The food is amazing!
