3-star hotels in Mathura
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Mathura, drawn from guest ratings and reviews, for pilgrims heading to Krishna Janmabhoomi and the temple town of Vrindavan, and for drivers breaking the Delhi-Agra run. Each property below is a 3-star hotel in Mathura with its distance to the centre and its facilities stated.
Staying in Mathura
Mathura is the birthplace of Lord Krishna and a major Hindu pilgrimage site, with temples, ashrams and dharamshalas across the city, the Krishna Janmabhoomi complex and the Dwarkadhish Temple among its main draws, plus its pedas and busy markets. The hotels on this list sit in and around that fabric: near the railway station, Deeg Gate, Station Road and Krishna Nagar in the city, and out along the Vrindavan, Chhatikara, Goverdhan and parikrama routes.
The mix suits different trips. Couples and short-break visitors are best served by the city-centre addresses, the closest being Divinity By Audra Hotels, 0.4 km from the centre, and Hotel Pragati palace at 1.4 km. Families get space, gardens and pools at the resorts on the Vrindavan and Goverdhan sides. Business travellers have banquet and business-centre facilities at several properties, and drivers on the Yamuna Expressway and NH-19 find resorts on the outskirts with free car parking.

Getting there and around
Mathura is well-connected by rail and road. Mathura Junction is a major railway station with trains from Delhi, Agra and other cities; from Delhi the train takes about 2-3 hours, while by road the city is about 150 kilometres south of Delhi via the Yamuna Expressway and around 50 kilometres north of Agra, roughly 3-4 hours by car. The nearest airport is Agra Airport, but most travellers use Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. Local transport includes auto-rickshaws, cycle-rickshaws and taxis, and Vrindavan is easily accessible by local buses and autos.
When to go
The best time to visit Mathura is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant, with temperatures ranging from cool to mild. Summers, April to June, can be very hot, and the monsoon, July to September, brings humidity and rain.
