Lovely hotel with the best beds. Nice big pool plenty of shade. Nice restaurant up top with good food and reasonable price. The only thing was they sprayed for bugs whilst we were eating but stopped as soon as we asked. Front reception staff very helpful going out of their way. Front doorman a character. We really enjoyed this hotel... More

Stayed in this property during the third week of May in Agra's sweltering heat. On check-in after a arduous bus journey from Jaipur, we were thrilled to know that we had been upgraded to a Club Room on the 1st Floor. Rooms are nice with all modern amenities, a Sony 32inch LCD, and a well stocked mini-bar. Washrooms have a... More

This hotel was incredibly close to the Taj Mahal which was the main selling point. The room was very large and the staff happily moved us to a quieter room when you could hear a lot of traffic noise with the first room. There is a roof terrace from which you can see the Taj Mahal if you stand in... More

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
