Review of Hotel Seven Hills Tower in Agra, India.

The rooftop pool and terrace at Seven Hills Tower offer good views.

Seven Hills Tower – Comfortable, mid-priced, more westernized than rivals, and located in a vibrant part of the city.

Among dozens of similar-looking mid-range hotels, this is superior for two main reasons: others overwhelmingly cater to Indian tourists, while the Seven Hills knows what comparatively picky foreigners may want; and it’s located along a lane far enough from the maniacal traffic to (almost) guarantee a good night’s sleep. Rooms are spacious and nicely furnished, the suites feature large living areas, and the rooftop pool and café are pleasant. More affordable and less isolated than more fancied rivals elsewhere in Agra, this hotel is surrounded by facilities for (Indian) tourists.

Hotel Seven Hills Tower, Agra – The Location

Address: 18A Jasoria Enclave. About 100m down a lane from Fatehabad Road, the main thoroughfare through downtown. Look for the sign in the median strip and turn at the Domino’s pizza joint.
Area: Really fascinating or absolutely chaotic – depending on your point of view. With numerous hotels in the vicinity, there are abundant shops, cafés, and money-changers, but facilities are mostly for Indian (rather than foreign) tourists. And the anarchic traffic makes crossing the road potentially dangerous.
How to Get There: About 1.5 km from the Taj Mahal; 5 km from the Agra Cantonment Railway Station, which has most services to/from Delhi and Jaipur; and 12 km from the new airport. All are accessible by taxi or auto-rickshaw.

Hotel Seven Hills Tower, Agra – The Basics

Guests: Most guests are Indian tourists, but it caters well for foreigners.
Views: Like most hotels in the region, views are not an attraction. Most rooms directly face the wall of a neighboring hotel, while a few do face the quiet street in front.
Private Pools/Jacuzzis: Neither expected nor provided at a low-key inner-city hotel like this in Agra.
How to Book: Booking.com will have the best rates.

Hotel Seven Hills Tower, Agra – Rooms

Room Types: Deluxe Rooms • Supreme Suite Rooms • List of all Rooms
Smoking Rooms: Smoking allowed in some rooms.
Best Room: The 3 individually-named Supreme Suite Rooms feature a separate living area that is pleasingly spacious.
For Families: Not set up for families, but ask about an extra 1 or 2 single beds in the Suite Rooms. Or book adjoining rooms (which won’t have connecting doors).

Hotel Seven Hills Tower, Agra – Local Transport

Walking: The backstreets around the hotel are more pleasant for walking than the main road about 100m away, which is so noisy, crowded, and potholed. A few cafés and plenty of shops nearby; otherwise, take an auto-rickshaw wherever possible.
Public Transport: Nothing of any use to tourists.
Taxis & Auto-rickshaws: Taxis (unmetered) are hard to find because they’re rarely needed in this area. If required, arrange through the hotel reception, or book an Ola cab. A few cycle-rickshaws and automated versions can be found along the main road 100m away.

Nearby Shops

A livelier area of Agra with plenty of facilities for tourists, i.e. Indians, but foreigners are always welcome. Oversupply of shops all over selling carpets and handicrafts.

Nearby Attractions

The Taj Mahal is certainly Agra’s, and possibly India’s, number one attraction. The ticket office at the West Gate is only 1.5 km away. Head north up the side street that the hotel faces, or take an auto-rickshaw. Separate entries for men and women. Open from sunrise to sunset, but closed on Fridays.
Agra Fort – The grand Red Fort (Lal Qila) symbolizes power and resilience. Partly occupied by the Indian Army, tourists can still see multiple mosques, palaces, and other structures inside this vast monument located close to the city center. Open from 6 am to 6 pm on all days. (3 km).
Itimad-ud-Daula – Popularly thought of as the first draft of the Taj Mahal, and often known as “Baby Taj”. The tomb is the first marble structure built by the Mughals and features intricate lattice work. Open from sunrise to sunset. (7 km).
Soor Sarovar Bird Sanctuary – A haven for several species of birds and a must-visit for wildlife photographers. Apart from birds, it also houses pythons and Wildlife SOS, the largest bear rescue center in India, as well as the only elephant hospital in the country. (25 km).
Fatehpur Sikri – This majestic red sandstone fort is known for the Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, Tomb of Salim Chishti, Diwan-i-Aam, Diwani-i-Khas, and several other monuments on-site. Built in the 16th-century by Emperor Akbar to celebrate the birth of his son, Jahangir, in Sikri. Open daily from 6 am to 6 pm. Tickets can be bought online from various travel portals or at the fort entrance. (40 km).
