It is true that The Hotel Sheela is Ideally located Right Next Door to The Taj Mahal, BUT Now you Really pay for the privilege !! Also, As this is now the Number One Hotel in Lonely Planet for Agra that No doubt has contributed to the excessive prices that they now charge !!
But having said all that it is still a good place to stay, the en-suite rooms are clean and do have satellite TV.
Single room rates start at 450r, But only after a lot of bargaining !!

Unique Qualities: The restaurant attached to hotel serves good food, but again it is over priced

The only draw back to The Tourist Rest Home is it’s location, it is a bit betwixt and between, But having said that it is a really Good Hotel, The rooms are clean and prices fair and the owner friendly and helpful.
The restaurant attached serves good food too.
A good choice If you are only on a short visit and are happy to catch a tuk tuk to the Taj Mahal, Red Fort etc !!
Free pick-ups, But you have to ring once you have arrived at the station !!
Rooms from 200 Rupee

Not a bad choice for Varanasi, Especially if one of the cheaper rooms in the old section of the hotel is available, I paid 250r for a simple room, none en-suite, But it did have a window that overlooked the Ganges.
You might find this a Very Regimented Hotel as there are notices Everywhere !!

Unique Qualities: There is a restaurant attached to hotel But I wasn’t impressed, over priced and poor service, although the food wasn’t bad so ok in an emergency !!

Although the room that I had represented good value, the trips organised by the hotel are Very Expensive, If you organise a taxi trough them then expect to pay more than double the going rate and the internet acess is triple what you pay in the Hotel Alka which is only a 5 minute walk up-river.
The only exception is that IF you are on your own then the 85r Ganges Boat trips represent Good Value

Nice Bungalows on Benaulin Beach in Goa, About 300m to the left of where the road ends at the beach and behind Costello’s Restaurant.
There are ones with both Attached and None attached Bathrooms, we took the attched option and paid 300r per night,

The beds are Hard – so a good tip is to “Borrow” an extra mattress of one of the sun-beds on the beach, as long as you return it the next morning the owner is quite happy !!

Unique Qualities: Simply furnished but with mosquito nets and a “western flush toilet” and warm water.

If as we were doing, Only spending one night in Kalka en-route to Shimla (Kalka is the end of the broad gauge railway and the start of the narrow gauge (Toy Train) to Shimla) then this hotel is a good choice as it is the closest one to the railway station.
Good sized En-Suite Rooms, Clean and with satellite TV and With balcony.
Price 600r (As we only stayed the one night there was no bargaining)

Unique Qualities: The hotel also has a generator which comes in handy as there would appear to be many power cuts in Kalka
