Advantages: Good Location, Excellent Service, Extreme Luxury Disadvantages: Expensive
...A very good Hotel to stay for both business travellers and holiday makers. It is a five star propert, thus one can expect all 5 star facitilies and ofcourse all luxuries come for a price! A nice property to stay while discovering Delhi. A variety of handy craft shops are located within the hotel,however verything is over priced in the shops.It is best to look around the city before making a puirchase or suitable for making last minute purchases.The Taj Group which owns the hotel is among one of the leading hotelier group in Asia. The food at the TAJ is excellent. The hotel has an excellent bar and a beautiful pool. It is advisable to make prior bookings for this hotel for most five star rooms are sold out in Delhi....

Advantages: excellent place Disadvantages: earthquake
...With the recent earthquake to India, my summer trip to India is looking doubtful. But, it would be nice to go again, and this time make a little difference. The earthquake has left many thousands of people homeless, and has also killed many.

The people are so friendly, and you can get a good...

...After reading several reviews I thought it is time to recall our visit to the Taj which is from memory so may be sketchey on detail, but there is all the necessary historical facts on other very good reviews , so this is just an old lovers memories.
Jane (My very own Queen Mumtaz Mahal) and I were coming up to our Silver Wedding Aniversery in March 1995, so we wanted a very special destination for a Holiday to celebrate, we both had a hankering for India so a two week Holiday was booked to Goa with a mini tour included of Jaipur, Agra and Delhi. (The Golden Triangle).
We had 7 Nights in Goa then it was time for the mini-tour.
It was on the Flight to Jaipur that I lost my fear of flying. Goa to Bombay not too bad the Air hostesses served Curry Meat or Veg. Plane landed at Bombay every one got off except for our tour party of 22 souls...
