Hotel Clarks Shiraz

This is a large 80’s style hotel set across spacious gardens close to all Agra has to offer. Large, palatial marble lined foyer with expansive hallways. Good sized, plush room with a/c and ceiling fan. Room has a fridge,safe, writing desk and two lounge chairs. Air conditioning struggled to get the room temperature below 23C but the ceiling fan was helpful. Water pressure was weak. We utilised the laundry services, which were quick, proficient and good value. The buffet restaurant was good quality - particularly the breakfast and dinner. As commented on earlier, the building is vast but both the upstairs bar and the buffet restaurant were both surprisingly small, making getting seating sometimes a challenge. They are currently undertaking some renovation works, which is happening quite unobtrusively, so I hope they remedy this in their refurbishment. All in all, we enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

Long review but definitely worth the read if you are serious about coming here !! Excellent service from the staff unlike anything you had before. View was amazing. Wide range of lovely food. No dangerous insects or animals on land. Hotel in General constantly being cleaned. Fresh food cooked everyday. Once again superb staff. Me and my husband just came back and all I can say is Woww.... 👌 👍 😍 🥰 The first thing I would like to point out are the staff to be perfectly honest they make our 20th wedding anniversary as perfect as it was. From the moment we arrived they treated us like royalty. There was never a point throughout the holiday where they treated us any differently.They were genuinely interested in what you had to say and every day whether to be breakfast or dinner they would come up to ask how your day had been and you are having a nice time. A special shout out to ankit, arbaaz, satyam.every one in restaurant 😀 👌 all the Chef who prepare good food and nice Masala omletes for us. Big thanks to Mr MANOJ who treated us like family. Very good hospitality. He waited on us at night time and would always take our plate of food Once we'd gone up to the buffet and choose what we wanted and would then walked back to the table and would carry himself so we could go and sit down and serve it to us. Every day he welcomed us with smile 😃 Room was very cleaned full of amenities Thank to the young boy whom I forgot his name. Thanks to Tomar who welcomed us and help to carry our shopping bags everyday. My heartiest thank to Mr Amulya Kakkar who give us the opportunity to have our special dinner in Mughal restaurant for our wedding Anniversary which was a lifetime sweet memory 😊 ❤️ No words can describe our satisfaction in this hotel we came to stay for one night and end to 6 night. We spend 26 days in india 🇮🇳 believe us It's one of the best 5 star resort we stayed in. 10/10. Fully recommended 👌 👍 Thank Chiraz Hotel for this memorable stay. Once again thank you all whom I forgot to mention their name 🙏 Lots of love ❤️ From Vikash, preety, krrish and momm Love ❤️ From MAURITIUS ISLAND 🇲🇺 ❤️

Stayed for a night in Agra at Clarks Shiraz with my family. I didn't know the history behind the name, but apparently the "project managers" for building Taj Mahal were recruited from Shiraz in Persia. Room, bathroom and sheets were clean and well maintained. We stayed two adults and two kids in one room, so an extra bed was needed. The extra bed however had one wheel broken and my son did not have good sleep on it because not straight. The bathroom was clean but small. Amenities and towels were provided for two persons, but it was not an issue, I expect we could request extras. Our booking included dinner and breakfast. The breakfast buffet was sufficient, but not vast. Dinner buffet was a little disappointing, only few hot items, and the "chaat" section consisted of a strange combination of items that could not be combined to any well-known items (e.g. stuffing would be missing for pani puri, but onions, dalmothee and pani would be there). As we visited in January, the weather was cold, and the outdoor pool remained closed. We didn't get the chance to try the gaming room or spa (closed at the time), but is there. The outdoor areas were well maintained, and good for taking a quick evening walk. Staff and receptionists were courteous and friendly, but seemed a bit inexperienced, not everyone there spoke English well enough for communicating. A bit strange, we asked if they can arrange tour (taxi+entrance+guide) for Taj Mahal, and they outright said no. I would've expected a hotel at a tourist location to have been able to do that. All in all, this is a "typical" tier-3 5-star hotel experience. By that I mean all he check-boxes are checked accordingly, but, you should not expect a luxury with all your needs met. I have not tried other 5-star hotels in Agra, so I don't know if there are any like that. In summary, a good and comfortable stay, you can easily book for your visit to Agra.
