Yes, they do have views of the Taj Mahal, but only from rooms on the front. The roof is currently out of bounds due to security. Whilst the rooms were not the largest we experienced in India, they did have all the essentials. Restaurants and food were good; not too busy and the staff were attentive. Overall a very pleasant...

The hotel is dated and very tired. They charge extra for taj view rooms- but the view is blocked from most of these rooms due to new construction across the road. The room are not clean. Poor maintenance and the bathrooms have a strange unpleasant odor. service is poor. and the food too. Not recommended at all. If you are... More

Expectations weren’t that high, but the hotel was fine with a lovely pool area and friendly staff. Our room was fine; with a good view of the Taj Mahal in the distance (and all the life on the main road outside). Breakfast buffet (with eggs / omelettes cooked to order) was fine.

Great pool (unheated) and big backyard area Cons: food there is terrible and the shops on the lower floor are filled with push sales people (you'd think the hotel would prevent that) More

Dinner in the hotel restaurant was terrific and the breakfast buffet was superb! This was some of the best food we had in India. We left... More

The hotel serves its purpose of seeing the Taj especially if your only staying for a night. If you are staying for two nights and you are looking for high end and/or are used to the Taj standards, this may not be the place to stay. We had a Taj view suite on the 5th floor and the view was... More

We travelled to Agra during second of January 2012 and stayed at this place for 2 nights. Good things about the hotel: 1) Nice comfortable rooms 2) friendly staff 3) proximity to Taj Mahal / Agra fort 4) Amenities (pool, Gym, spa and others) 5) value for money Development needs: 1) food (it was good but can be better) More
