Not only Agra Fort Railway Station but Agra Fort Bus Station(Also known as BijleeGhar) is at just walking distance from Mankameshwar Metro station.

Second Metro station is in front of main gate historical palace Agra Fort. The Name of Metro station is Dr. BR Ambedkar.

3rd Metro Station is at entry point of Tajmahal west gate and name of Metro Station is TajMahal.

4th Metro Station is in Tajganj at Fatehabad Road which is having a lot of luxury hotels and marriage homes so location of this Metro Station is also much useful in peak hours This station is at the location where Mall Road ends.

6th and Last Metro station of South East side in phase 1 is also commenced for public operation and it is in front of TDI Mall at Fatehabad Raod. Although it has been named as TajMahal East gate but Taj Mahal East Gate is around 2.5KM away from here.

Despite being one of the most important stations on tourist map of India (especially foreigners), this is the status of IRCTC lounge on PF 1 of Agra Cantt. The washrooms are totally dirty. Can't use them. Even bus rest stops on highways are better now. Charges are 56 rs per hour. Sitting area is OK, but washrooms too dirty.

Used 1-2 years back & complained then too, still no change. Complained to the RMA Associates incharge there, he seemed to be just not interested. It actually needs deep cleaning. Full of stains in all corners. Other lounges like Delhi, Jaipur, Madurai, Howrah, Ahmedabad are maintained much much better.

If you are travelling to Agra to see Taj Mahal and your train reaches at night at AGC. Don't hesitate to book the Dormitory or Room at the station thinking that its not well maintained. I recently travelled to Agra and had booked the AC dormitory at AGC for the night. It was well maintained, clean and tidy. The beds were also really comfortable. Besides, what more do you want in just 150 bucks (approx.), its worth the money.

Can you tell me if the rooms have Western type toilets? I am planning a short trip where I plan to stay about 24 hours in Agra. Thinking of booking a retiring room but all rooms including Deluxe and Ordinary are shown to have Indian toilets only. That is a big problem for my parents. Any help in this regard would be great.

The AC dormitory has western toilets. Can't say about deluxe/ordinary rooms. For that, you may rely on the info given at IRCTC tourism.
