I Still need Reassuring

Can anybody out there reassure me about the hotel Sheela, someone who isn't connected with the place. It has some reasonable reports and a lot of really bad ones . Surely they can't all come from the competition. Anyone?

Never been to Hotel Sheela, but if it's dodgy, there are approximately seventy million trillion other hotels to pick from. Have you checked out the hotels section of this forum?. Lots of good info by members, not affiliated.

Never heard of the place !! I do not know after staying in this place for the last 15 yrs.

Whats your budget ?

Good options are - Amar Hotel, Atithi Hotel, Royal Residency, Kant Hotel, Gangaratan Hotel. All between 1500 INR - 3000 INR for a double room.

Anything below 1000 INR in agra, do not expect the place to be nice.

Also make sure you get a good deal as its off season and hotels virtually take anything you offer them ( reasonable though !! )

Checked out the ones you mentioned, all are 2000+

Any hotel between 1000-1500 with extra bed option?

Thanks in advance

Well, the tourist rest house and the Maya hotel both get the thumbs up in the HOTELS section on this site.
There are a few more there with reviews.
Just check 'em out, tons to pick from.
