Very good hotel in agra. Hotel interior fabulous The room is big with all amenities. Cozy comfortable bed. Staff cooperative and professional. We reached at 8 am they didn't not allow immediate early check in due to their system as they said. The swimming pool is nice and clean. Breakfast was delicious but space was very much crowded. Hotel is at walking distance from The Taj Mahal. Thank to Goibibo for good deal. Overall our stay was nice and value for money.

86 rooms property with spacious rooms and clean washrooms. The rooms are located on 3 floors with a roof top bar/restaurant, ground floor restaurant, a swimming pool, gym, spa, conference room. The service is also good although they might delay sometimes if the rooms are fully occupied. The location is nice with many restaurants nearby and a market for emergency needs. You can view the taj mahal from the rooftop. There is a sitting space near the window in every room which gives an extra perk to the room though they need to look out a little on the maintenance. The thermostat placed in the rooms are analog and quite old where it's difficult for manage the temperature which needs an upgrade for sure. The food is delicious and the buffet offers multiple options to eat from. Overall nice and comfortable stay but a very limited parking in contrast to the no of rooms there.

We chose this hotel as it was well placed to walk to Taj Mahal for sunrise (15 mins). There was a good spread at breakfast. They had a travel desk to organise drivers which was handy (we stopped by Akbars tomb on the way to Delhi). There was a pool and spa but we had no time to use it. There was a shop inside the hotel with good quality marble pieces and his prices were fair - check it out! Sheets had stains and duvet cover had holes - that could have been better.
