Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Expensive for many travelers — The hotel is a luxury property, and some guests note it's more of a once-in-a-lifetime splurge, especially given prices from £384 per night.
- Potential for large credit card holds — One guest reported a 15,000 rupee pre-authorization on arrival, which felt excessive for a single night's stay.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a limitation for travelers wanting to bring their animals.
- Parking may be limited — While parking is available, one review noted 'parking nearby' rather than on-site, suggesting it may not be directly at the hotel.

9.2Verified guest“I've stayed in many top hotels, but the service and class at the Taj were exceptional. It was an absolutely wonderful experience, and I can't wait to return.”
9.2Verified guest“The service here was a new experience for me – excellent! Everyone was extremely helpful. 'Attention to detail' is the best way to describe it.”
9.2Verified guest“Good views from the room, beautiful hotel decor, and a great swimming pool. However, I found the value for money poor – they blocked 15,000 rupees on my credit card upon arrival, which felt rude for a one-night stay. I can only imagine the hold for a week.”
9.2Verified guest“I was completely charmed by my stay. All staff were kind and courteous, and the location was perfect for my first visit to India. They even closed my book with a bookmark when I left it open. The outdoor pool is large and fantastic, surrounded by old architecture – I swam at night under a clear sky, even during monsoon. Breakfast was well presented and cooked, with attentive service.”
9.2Verified guest“The staff are the best; they make the place. Rooms are very clean. Honestly, it's a perfect place to end your visit to India.”
9.2Verified guest“The grand lobby and exquisite decor immediately impressed. I loved the cozy window corner in my Luxury Grande Room Sea View, perfect for morning coffee while gazing at the view. Staff were attentive, especially at breakfast where they kept my ginger tea refilled.”
