Cleanliness
7.2
Mixed feedback: some praise for cleanliness (e.g., 'Sauber'), but several guests reported dirty carpet and windows, frequent corridor cleaning activity and visible service trolleys, lowering the score.
Service
9.6
Strong positive sentiment: numerous comments about friendly, courteous and helpful staff, good hospitality and Taj-standard service; isolated issues (long luggage/trolley waits, reception delays) noted but outweighed by consistent praise.
Location
9.6
Consistently praised: described as excellent/central and convenient (close to airport and railway); a minority noted it isn't ideal for walking to the city centre, but overall location is a key strength.
Room Quality
7.6
Mixed: rooms described as cosy and comfortable by some, but recurring complaints about small/congested room size, inability to open windows and limited fresh air from AC, and occasional cleanliness concerns.
Amenities
9.6
Positive: guests mention good facilities (fitness centre, swimming pool), a strong breakfast offering and that the hotel had required facilities for stays; overall amenities are a notable plus.
Value for Money
9.6
Frequently cited as good value: multiple reviewers explicitly noted value for money and satisfaction with the service-to-price balance.
Food and Beverage
7.4
Mixed to below-average for some: breakfast receives positive mentions, but several guests found main restaurant and à la carte dining disappointing, with comments on poor menu choices, portions and inconsistent quality.
Overall Experience
9
Generally positive overall: many reviewers report enjoyable, pleasant or exceptional stays thanks to staff, location and amenities, though some guests had notable service/food/room concerns that temper the experience.

Very comfortable, something we have come to expect from all Taj properties
Pros:

Excellent breakfast spread!! When we wanted one or two items not on the breakfast buffet, the staff and the chef were too eager to prepare and provide it to us. Very good service from the chef Mr. Amarnath and another gentleman in suit (sorry I forgot his name). At the front desk, Mr. Sudeer was ever helpful. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

Cons:

We could not stay longer to enjoy more of this hospitality
