excellent stay with access to the lounge
clean suitecomfortable suitemagnificent viewconnecting door
the hotel location is great for sightseeing, and areas could be easily reached by walking. the suite was nice and neat. we also had a magnificent view from our suite.
the connecting door to another room meant tv noise at reasonable volume disturbed the other room, and the hotel was fully booked. i had to leave the tv off since i didn't want complaints all evening.
Location

the hotel's location facilitated easy access to various sightseeing spots. i found it simple to reach different areas by foot. alternatively, i used ride-sharing services for convenient transport.
Dining

i had access to the taj club lounge on the second floor, a benefit of the suite. drinks were available all day. a sumptuous evening spread included cocktails and wine.

amazing breakfastgreat staffbeautiful beddingstreet viewunprofessional cleanerdisappointing experience
The breakfast was amazing. there was plenty of choice and the waiting staff was great! the bedding was beautiful. the towels were lovely. The bathroom had a bath to die for.
we asked for a room with a mountain view. instead, we got a room that looked out onto the street, you had to look hard to see any mountain. we returned to our room to relax until check out. we were met with the cleaner already in the room!
