Ulasan Hotel Taj Plaza, VIP Road, Agra

What can I say. An experience at the very least. Let’s start with our “upgraded” room, may I add, with “no extra charge”. Firstly, hygiene and cleanliness isn’t in their vocabulary. Let’s start with the negatives: 1. Stains and holes in the bedsheets 2. No sheet cover, just a blanket from my grandmas era, covered in 18th century dust. 3. AC-there was a machine but we were told it didn’t work, so maybe for show? They did upgrade us with a mini desk heater. 4. Mould on the ceiling had been painted over. 5. Disco lights surrounding the bed. 6. Taps hadn’t seen a cloth since the dinosaurs. 7. Toilet was a disgrace. 8. Mouldy toilet roll and bin that hadn’t been cleaned or emptied since the renaissance . 9. No hot water because everyone is out the whole day and nobody apparently comes back until 9pm. (They turn the boiler on at 7). 10. Served mouldy bread at breakfast. Sent it back and received a butter-less and jam-less slice of untoasted bread. The restaurant “manager” claimed the bread was fresh and dismissed the mould. 11. The coffee had an oily film floating on the top. 12. Hair and grease in my food. 13. Glimpsed at the kitchen and it looked like WW2. Now the positives. 1. Great location 👍🏾 2. Great view of the Taj from the mess of a rooftop bar 👍🏾 Should you stay here? You decide. If you do, take an exterminator with you. Oh and a duvet and pretty much everything else.

everything is fine except the toilet. the toilet smells a bit, is not clean and looks gloomy

Hotelnya lumayan lah strategis dan banyak tempat makanan, rekomend sih dg harga yg sangat murah di Trip.com

Place for guides near Agra Amar Vilas: many years ago I had a good experience in a place called Taj Plaza. But this time room 306 deluxe, tariff Rs 1000 (standard was only 800) not so good. Water very low pressure, so no shower. Bucket filling slow. Intercom instrument dead as a dodo. TV channels not working. Dinner and breakfast was good for me.

Don’t ever go in here scammers!! I arrived in Agra with my wife late in afternoon and fancied a beer. Our hotel did not serve alcohol so I went to the street and this hotel over road had a guy standing outside and he said they have beer. I thought ok so followed him in and made way to roof top. Place seemed a bit run down but I don’t mind as long as they got beer. Guy seemed friendly enough and was nice view of Taj Mahal. I ordered one glass of wine for my wife 700 ruppee’s and a kingfisher for myself 550 rupees. Drinks took a while to arrive and guy was talking on about getting a guide and he can do currency exchange. When the drink eventually arrived I noticed something odd that my wife’s drink was already poured and she had not been shown the bottle. He opens the kingfisher which I noticed had front label scratched off and date scratched off. He poured it I took a sip and it was disgusting. I noticed lid to bottle had rust and was also a crack on the bottle. My wife said her wine tasted like a weak apple juice. I was not happy about this as we had been served fake drinks so I told the guy we was leaving and he became argumentative and aggressive. I had to firmly tell him to back off and we are leaving and he was demanding money. We was walking back down the stairs and he was getting really close so I pulled out pepper spray me and my wife was carrying and he stood back and went down stairs. I was cautious as I was with my wife and did not want her in any danger and there was more guys down stairs. We got downstairs and got the hell out of there! Anyone who comes across this place stay away I was only in Agra an hour and this was my first experience of the place with these absolute crooks!

Restaurant here was actually quite nice and could have spicy or not spicy options. Room was very cold and only had one blanket on the bed.. this is the only hotel I used my sleeping bag liner to sleep in during a 5 week trip as it didn't feel clean to me. We only stay for 1 night anyway so it was fine for some where cheap to sleep and go.. would recommend to spend a few more dollars next time and stay somewhere a bit more comfortable. Staff were friendly and tried to sell you their taxi services etc even though we already said we have pre booked everything. But once you get past that it is ok. Nice close walk to the taj, just straight down the street. Good location.

Best hotel to see Taj Mahal - walking distance from the east gate- no need for transport to see the Taj, quiet spot and room with view very nice view. Close to plenty of other restaurants but being that close to the beautiful walk to the Taj was amazing. Travel Manager Aman can assist with other Agra experiences and a driver who works for the hotel. He arranged tickets /transport to nearby SOS elephant wildlife rescue and had plenty of other ideas of places to see if we’d have had more time.

I will start with the positives - the manager went out of his way to help us find a bus that we booked that travel agents in Agra said did not exist. The bus from Agra to Kathmandu stops on the side of a motorway and was due at 12.30pm. He insisted on coming with us in a taxi he arranged and waited until the bus arrived 2 hours late. The hotel also has excellent Wi-Fi on each floor. The views from the roof terrace of the Taj Mahal are superb. On the downside the breakfast is just butter & jam toast, the rooms are in need of renovations and the cleaning could do with a woman’s touch (in respect of showing men how to do it properly).

It was a great experience. Location is great. Staff behaviour is very friendly and helpful. Room was nice. Very near to Taj Mahal. You can see Taj Mahal from rooftop. Overall a great and nice experience.

The location is very near to the east gate of the Taj Mahal and the room is spacious and secure. The food at the hotel restaurant is good, and the price is reasonable for the quality. The only disappointment is that they did not allow us to eat dinner on the rooftop, citing concerns about mosquitoes and the need for staff to carry food up there. However, Mr. Aman arranged a cab for us to visit Fatehpur Sikri and other local sites. He also gave us advice on what to do and what not to do around the Taj Mahal, as there are many scammers in the area.

Great value for money Shiron the main *** was extra helpful with everything from booking transport to meals etc Best location for Taj Mahal visit Restaurant great quality breakfasts and dinners We had a great view of Taj Mahal from our room.

I've been to the Taj Plaza three times and will certainly go there again! Staff are great, the food is good and the view is unparalleled. Rooms are find if you don't mind the shower being in the bathroom (and sometimes not working, but they'll switch your room if that's the case). Start your day with Mrs. Ambika's chai across the street!

I have been to this place a few times. The food is impeccable and worth every cent. Order for their very very spicy Chicken biryani ( A must have). Their Rooftop cafe is great place to enjoy in the evening with a majetic view of Taj Mahal.

Après la visite du Taj Mahal , nous voulions prendre un petit dejeuner. Cet hôtel a eu excellente vue mais pour le reste contentez vous d-un café. Le breakfast continental a 1 jus, the ou café et.des toast durent comme le béton !!! Pas un chat au moment de notre passage sur le rooftop
