lieber nicht buchen
Pros:

Die Betten waren gut.
Die Rezeptionistin während des Tages war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit
Die vermittelten Fahrer waren gut.

Cons:

Die Lage: Das Hotel liegt zwar in Laufweite zum Taj Mahal, aber in einem sehr schlechten Viertel! Warnung!
Frühstück gegenüber in einem Café - sehr bescheidene Qualität.
Manche Rezeptionisten konnten kein Englisch verstehen.
Die Terrassentür (öffentlich zugängliche Terrasse) konnte nicht verschlossen werden. Das Problem konnte nicht behoben werden.
Beim Duschen setzt man das ganze Badezimmer unter Wasser, unangenehm!

Pros:

Excellent location only a couple of minutes walk from the Taj Mahal west gate. Very friendly staff who arranged taxi tours for us to Fatehpur Sikri and a one-way onward taxi to Jaipur. Excellent Taj Mahal views from the rooftop area (and from the dining area across the road), complete with monkeys on the rooftops!

Cons:

Some minor issues at the start (cigarette butts, only one towel), but this was sorted out very quickly.

Perfect location, great view, perfect staff.
Pros:

Perfect location with view on the Taj from the nice terrace, in front of your rooms.
Step out the door and in 3 min you’re at the entrance, so no excuse to be first in the morning!
We got a free upgrade to the most beautiful and comfortable suite.
Staff was great in all support, including arranging a site guide (and photographer).

And… wine available! What else could we wish for.

Cons:

Just perfect.

Unsurpassed by any other property in my two months trip in South East Asia.
Pros:

Everything, the GM was supper helpful; escorted me to the ATM to make sure I feel safe at dark… my hero was the receptionist who goes beyond the call of duty to make sure all our needs were met. Kudos to you. Ops, forgot to share steps away from the entrance of the Taj Mahal.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing. They were the best.

Avoid if you can
Pros:

Checking out

Cons:

We booked this hotel a month in advance, including an airport transfer from Delhi, and gave them our flight number so they could track our arrival. When we landed, there was no driver. We had to contact the hotel ourselves, and only then did we find out that the pickup had been arranged just half an hour before the driver actually turned up. He arrived an hour and twenty minutes after we landed. The car was also far too small for three people with large suitcases, so we had to travel with our luggage piled on the seats around us, which was both uncomfortable and unsafe.

We had reserved two rooms, one of which was supposed to be a suite, and we paid a premium for it. Instead, we were given a standard room that was poorly maintained and dirty. The soundproofing was practically non-existent. The street below is extremely noisy, and between the traffic, the voices and even the monkeys, it felt as though the room had no windows at all. As a result, we barely slept for two nights.

The door of the second room had a broken lock. We asked for it to be fixed, but nobody was able to do anything, so the room could not be locked for the whole stay (two nights, three days). For paying guests, this is a serious security failure.

When we raised these problems with the staff, they were dismissed. We received no apology, no discount and no compensation, only polite smiles and no action, as if our complaints were trivial.

Great position and staff, poor comfort.
Pros:

The position is undoubtedly good. Nice view from the terrace

Cons:

Musty smell over all the property, including in the room, which was very tiny for three people. Uncomfortable mattress and literally no space to open our luggage.
