Try to eat as little as possible. The beer is warm. And no matter what they tell you, their fridge is warm too. But the Taj is stupifyingly close and makes it worth all the other shortcomings.

We opted to pay for the `best room' in this hotel, as it had a view of the Taj; it was on the roof next to the restaurant, so it was noisy at times. The stairway to the rooftop went right past the window, and the kitchen was just below, so there were lots of people going past at all... More

We stayed there for two nights. We had the delux room at 1,000RS and it was not worth it. The room was stinking - humidity. There was no window, there were big stains over the wall and the bathroom was almost disgusting. I am used to travel in unexpensive hotel but this one was really not worth the price. However,...

After confirming a double room twice by email and once on the phone that morning, we turned up to Saniya Palace (very tired after a long train journey) and were shown a dirty bed in a blocked off corridor and were told that we could stay there and move into a room the next night. They have so many people... More

A male staff said on the phone all rooms are booked. After some discussion, he said will get one room for me. Upon arrival however, they claim no more... More

Very basic, but in many countries you would pay ten times the price for the view alone. The roof top terrace with the view of the Taj Mahal (sunset and sunrise) is magnificent, but be aware of the monkeys at sunrise when they are roam the streets. In short walking distance to the entry and exit gate of the Taj.

Saniya palace is tucked in a side street near the side gate of the Taj Mahal, away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the main streets. The staff keep the place clean and tidy, and are very helpful and hospitable. The rooftop view of the restaurant is unbeatable, providing a great peak at the Taj at sunrise. Definitely... More
