Mediocre hotel with good proximity to the Taj’s Eastern Gate. Not bad for one night but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Excellent location for the Taj Mahal, easy walking distance and great view on the terrace too. Staff are brilliant, the women on reception on arrival made us feel welcome immediately. Rooms are very spacious, kept clean by lovely staff. Breakfast had a wide range of options.

The only good thing about this hotel is that it is right near the Taj Mahal about 5-10min walk. They said they upgraded us, we ended up with a room next to reception, the bathroom was dirty and the sheets looked and felt like someone had already slept in them. Indian breakfast was good western style was terrible.

Great value for the money. Very close to the Taj
Great value for the money. I worry about 3 star hotels in foreign countries, which is my minimum star rating for quality in the USA or Europe, but there was nothing to worry about here. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was all you can eat style of Indian and international food, which only cost 5 usd. Sounds suspicious on paper but not in person. You can stay at more expensive hotels in the area for more expensive perks, but for a 2 night stay close to the Taj, this hotel is a perfect choice that will save you some money. You can use the saved money for tips to the local people who would enjoy a good meal.

Good view of Taj
My stay at this hotel was not good. The hotel had a smell of damp throughout, from the lobby area down to the bathroom towels and bedsheets. Towels in the bathrooms were dirty. The food was ok. The only plus points of choosing this hotel are the location to the Taj Mahal and the view of the Taj from the rooftop.

Comfortable hotel close to the Taj Mahal.
The hotel is a good modern option within walking distance of the ticket office and shuttle service to the Taj Mahal east gate entrance. The room was clean and modern with plenty of space. The hotel has a rooftop pool and viewing platform of the Taj Mahal. We also had our dinners on the rooftop. There were adequate selections at breakfast. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful and saved us considerable time and effort by helping to arrange a car and driver to Fatehpur Sikri, which turned out to be reasonably priced and much more pleasant than our first option of local bus.

Not so great
Booked two rooms for family trip. Very close to Taj Mahal and overall hotel is in a good condition but hot water supply in the rooms are very poor. I wasted 100s of litre of water to identify correct hot water settings and eventually figured out with the help of plumber; but water is not hot enough for a shower. Eventually I used kettle to boil water myself.

Good views, poorly built hotel.
The hotel is located extremely close to the Taj Mahal. The views from the roof are beautiful. The rooftop pool was also extremly enjoyable. Dispute these features the hotel was a disappointment. The overall finish of the hotel was shabby and poorly built, as many points even dangerous (glass panels missing from staircases, wires hanging out of sockets).

Convenient location but disappointing experience.
Good location 10 mins walk from the Taj Mahal. We had booked a room described as having a city view, but we're shown a room over the kitchen that smelt of stale cooking and had a large, noisy extractor fan outside the window. We asked to change but we're told the hotel was full and the only rooms available were the basement rooms with only a frosted sub-terrainian window. We were unable to eat at the rooftop restaurant as it was being used for a private party so we had to eat at a neighbouring hotel as there were no local restaurants.
