This was our second stop in our tour of Rajasthan, India, and it was the first hotel we felt we got a traditional welcome. A lovely lady stood at the front door, with a bowl of flowers and gave us all a blessing as we walked in. Every time we passed a member of staff, we were greeted with ‘Namaste’
This hotel is the Jewel of Agra. We were here to see the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort, and I didn’t want to leave the hotel. Stunning, modern décor. Friendly helpful staff, beautifully clean, light, and cool.
The room followed the same style. Clean, modern, stylish. A double bed, desk, wardrobe, and restroom. This bathroom had a standing shower (Amazing), vanity, and toilet with Jet (standard in every hotel in India)
*This hotel provided you with toiletries for your stay- shampoo, conditioner, soap, body lotion, shower cap, cotton pads, slippers etc (something to bear in mind to cut down on things you bring)
We were only here for one night, but I wished we stayed longer.
The restaurant was lovely. There was a choice of indoor and outdoor seating. The air conditioning was working perfectly. The food choice was more varied. Again, the staff were very helpful in letting me know how spicy each dish was. The whole buffet was an explosion of colours and flavours. We were like kids in a sweet shop.
Breakfast the next morning was also great. Same amazing service, and the food choices were more continental. The staff could not do enough to help you. Truly a lovely hotel.
There was a lovely garden area with pool in the middle of the rooms and restaurant, with looked lovely and clean. Sadly, we didn’t have time for a swim, but maybe next time
This hotel also had a SPA and a beautiful shop with jewellery and textiles, that is worth a look. India is famous for precious stones, and exquisite materials.
