We stayed here on our last leg of our trip to India. The hotel was nice enough, the rooms just did not feel as clean as the other hotels we had stayed in on our trip (might have been the ancient carpeting). The service in the dining room was terrible, it took them an hour to try and split our... More

We stayed with a group of 12 people for 1 night at the hotel and we strongly disliked the place. First they were not helpful at all at the time of booking, they tried to make us pay for more rooms than we had taken, and were very arrogant. Second we found that the food was terrible. Even the curd... More

Hotel is in good condition, in an OK area. It's not luxurious, but a very good value for money place. Good room, bed, shower, breakfast after seeing the sunrise at the Taj Mahal. If this is what you're looking for, this place is fine. The staff in general is very helpful, and customer oriented. One remark, if you get to... More

Stayed for just the 1 night while visiting the Taj. Booked last minute and got a great deal for 2 rooms. Found out once we arrived that the standard price for 1 room was more than the total we paid. I definitely wouldn't have paid the full price. The rooms were nice enough and good facilities. The hotel has 2... More

It was a nice experience having stay in this property. Staff was good and very polite behavior. Food quality was good and could find a good ambience in the hotel. Would prefer all to try the hotel service once.

A nice hotel located close to the East side gate of Taj Mahal. Looked new; but came to know that it is a 18 year old property recently renovated. Rooms are lovely with lot of space. The buffet restaurant has a good spread for both breakfast and dinner. Had a lovely dinner in the mist-filled roof top restaurant. The conference... More

The hotel is 4 stars, but old and in desparate need of renovation. The lobby and the restaurnt look very nice, but the rooms are small and beds very uncomfortable. The air conditioning was working, but it was so loud that I couldn't sleep at night. The towels were brought to our room only after I complained twice at the... More

We stayed here 2 nights and it was simply awesome. The location is close to the Taj Mahal but far from the shopping areas of Agra. The room was very nice, clean and tidy with quality chattels. The only downside is the shower over bathtub. Food was awesome. The buffet breakfast had heaps of selection. The hotel is huge and... More

We picked this hotel for the price and proximity to the Taj Mahal. It was very close to all the things we wanted to see in Agra, which was a huge plus. There are also a few places to eat and shop across the street, which was nice for us when we wanted a quick bite to eat or a... More
