We stayed in this hotel in Oct 2010 for one night. We had a superior room with Taj view. I would highly recommend this hotel. The room was very nice and clean with an excellent view of the Taj Mahal. The hotel is very close to all the important monuments in Agra. A very good shopping area named Sadar is not not far from there. We were very pleased with the ambience, service and the cleanliness of the hotel. The staff was also very courteous. The food in the hotel restaurant was a bit expensive for us. We did not eat there. Instead we found out an excellent restaurant named "Maya hotel and restaurant" close by. The food was excellent and the price unbeatable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.
