Shiv Kothi - Homestay

Agra was the first city we visited on our trip. Being the first time in India we were quite nervous how the accommodations would be. Arriving late we were lucky to see the house with its beautiful lightning. We were highly surprised when we arrived at Shiv Kothi. Such a nice house with beautiful hosts. The rooms were clean and beautifully furnished. Bathrooms were clean, nice and everything worked well. Even warm water! So price/performance was excellent.

Die Unterkunft hat eine super Ausgangslage in Agra. Die Gastfamilie ist unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit. Sie haben uns mit Tipps und Buchungen wunderbar unterstützt. Mukki, der Vermieter spricht fließend Deutsch und wir haben ihn als Guide für das Taj Mahal und für die Umgebung von Agra gebucht. Wir haben so viel spannende historische Zusammenhänge erfahren, Einblicke in altes indisches Handwerk bekommen und vielen Mythen und Geschichten gelauscht. Sehr empfehlenswert. Alles ist sehr sauber und ordentlich. Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist super!

Wonderful place run by a super friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable family. Extremely comfortable and accommodating. We stayed while we toured the area’s forts, palaces and tombs which are fantastic. We especially enjoyed the relaxed conversations about the area, Indian crafts and architecture. Thoroughly enjoyable.

When visiting Agra and the Taj Mahal, Shiv Kothi is a nice place to stay. Makesh and his family have been very friendly and welcoming in their home. The food is nice and their rooms beautiful. Helpful with their contacts. I would recommend them to anyone.

Staying here was an absolute delight! Our host went above and beyond to make our trip smooth and memorable—not only did they help us with some unexpected domestic issues, but they also gave us the best local recommendations for food and things to do in Agra. Every suggestion was spot on! The hospitality was warm and genuine, and the price-to-quality ratio is unbeatable. If you're looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and hassle-free stay, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Very familiar place. Hospitality and very comfortable and clean room. Breaksfast is also really good with Indian and Western options. I could left my luggage after check out. Its location is also good. Near Taj Mahal and markets to buy some fruits or drinking water.
