Pros:

Breakfast

Cons:

The washrooms had water leakage issues. The lack of proper ventilation was also disappointing. Overall, the facilities did not meet the standards or expectations one would associate with the Taj brand.

Cet hôtel est une usine (très chère) où l’on se sent anonyme
Pros:

Excellente cuisine. Très bon petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Le manque d’écoute du personnel de la réception et de leur responsable était désolant. L’hôtel n’a pas respecté la commande (un grand lit) et, malgré la communication du justificatif Booking, a prétendu que nous avions demandé deux lits. L’ « erreur », selon l’hôtel, était due à Booking. Aucun geste commercial n’a été consenti pour compenser. Il est est vrai que l’hôtel était bien rempli et que deux particuliers n’avaient pas d’importance aux yeux desdits responsables. Par ailleurs, la taille de la chambre (sorte de couloir surencombré) ne correspondait pas à l’annonce sur Booking. Le Taj Varanasi se veut un palace mais le service n’est pas du tout à la hauteur… contrairement au prix.
