Hotel Rashmi Agra

Hotel Rashmi Agra is a small mid-range hotel on Taj East Gate Road in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India, close to the East Gate of the Taj Mahal. It lies about 1.1 km from the Taj Mahal and about 3.2 km from Agra Fort in a straight line. The location suits travellers who want to reach the monument on foot or by a very short ride, particularly for sunrise visits when the East Gate queue forms early.

The hotel is an unpretentious, budget-minded property with a practical rather than stylish character. It serves independent travellers, couples and small families who prioritise location and price. Rooms are offered as Standard and Deluxe Rooms, Family Rooms and Suites, with air conditioning and wifi. A 24-hour front desk is listed, which is valuable for early departures to the Taj Mahal and late arrivals from trains or flights.

Dining is limited to the on-site restaurant and room service, supplemented by cafes and small eateries along Taj East Gate Road and in nearby streets. Visitors are generally advised to choose busy venues with good turnover when eating out in Agra, and to drink bottled or filtered water.

The hotel has no listed pool, spa or fitness center. The emphasis is on a clean, air-conditioned room, wifi and convenient access. A travel desk can arrange guides, private cars and transfers to Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, Mehtab Bagh and onward trips to Delhi or Jaipur.

Service is informal and aimed at independent tourists. The listed rate range of INR 1,800 to 4,000 per night (about 20 to 45 USD) is among the more affordable in the East Gate area, with prices typically higher between October and March. Visitors should remember that the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays, and plan their Agra itinerary accordingly.
