How excellent it is to have your hotel 5mins walk from one of the 7 wonders of the world! It is near to Taj Mahal and the hotel is of good quality! Could improve on hot water for showering though.

On the positive side the manager could not have been more helpful. The view from the roof is spectacular. The Wi-Fi is strong. The rooms are dirty, in need of decoration and the breakfast is just toast and jam. But for the price the location is fabulous. There is no pool as it claims

Fantastic location with Taj Mahal view from the bed and bathroom. Very helpful manager. Lovely food. Great rooftop restaurant. Good location to get around. Walked to sunrise at Taj Mahal in 10 minutes. Quiet and peaceful. The negatives were the electrics were poor, they were over enthusiastic in transferring us to a suite and broke a bottle, they were frequently knocking on the door to ask us to eat there. The suite is poorly protected from mosquitos and does not cool down enough.

The staff were very friendly and cooperative with our group which arrived on the train early in the morning. They provided space heaters, which helped us combat the cold nights.

The proximity to the Taj Mahal is the main feature of the Hotel Taj Plaza. Other than that, it is merely functional. If you want a comfortable stay with a charming atmosphere, stay elsewhere. If you don't have other options, this may suffice.

Close proximity to the Taj Mahal a big plus, rooms could do with more bankets in winters

Great hotel, it was very close to the Taj Mahal- an easy walk. We got a room with a view of the Taj Mahal and it was spectacular. Hotel staff was very friendly and courteous, the breakfast was good. I highly recommend this hotel.

From the off this was a poor experience, one check in we were told we had to pay for the room (despite already paying) after showing the booking confirmation and credit card statement this was going to be refereed to the manager (when we checked out no apology was made or statement to say we had paid) I suspect this a scam to get double payment. The room was acceptable with good aircon and fantastic room, the bathroom however was unusable, the bath / shower was cracked dirty and full of flies with 2 threadbare towels, neither of us wanted to use the bathroom.
The included breakfast and diner consisted of a choice from the menu or credit of about 150 Rs (you're better off paying room only and then probably eating elsewhere). The food on site was actually ok but overpriced.
Location is the only redeeming feature as it's about a 10 minute walk to the Taj east gate
Overall this hotel is no better than a cheap backpacking hostel with a good view, well overpriced for India

i was to late to check in. the desk manager was fine to let me check in. the guest service was also helpful, helping brought luggage to the room. during night, after 8 pm it was dark, however, there is still seen silhouette of the great taj mahal from the aisle of the hotel. the hotel is great, only the Agra area has no connection to the Uber, so mostly have to use Tuk Tuk service to move around.

Very good deal !! Second closest hotel to Taj East Gate with a view, 5-10 stroll to gate - 2 king beds - roof top restaurant! staff was super friendly!

Our room was on the 3rd floor but their elevator was not working .... apparently it has been not working for a long time. My sister can’t climb stairs. My room that I paid for was gorgeous with a great view. However the replacement view was crap. They made up by comping our food and drink while we stayed. They hotel and resto staff were not professional (in industry terms) but very nice and polite. The location was great. The food was spectacular. Especially the chicken curry and hyderabadi biryani. I would definitely recommend the food. There were bugs in the washroom but that did not bother me so much as I have seen worst in Europe. Also what do you expect at a 2-star near the desert in Agra.

Stay was good, however there was a problem with cable connection. Inspite of lot of trying the problem could not be fixed. The resturant wanted the payments to be cleared immediately after every food we take & they were not interested to club the same with Hotel bills. The issue was bought to the notice of management who assured to look into the same.

When I arrived, the receptionist's English was excellent and very helpful when answering in questions about breakfast and late checkout. The room was pretty good with a big bathroom and a big bed to spread out on. The sheets were clean but a little stained - but the price is excellent and we're in India so it goes with the territory.They offer a locker service if you want to visit the Taj after check out at 12:00 which is handy (however I did not use the lockers and would recommend getting to the Taj for 7:30 to avoid the queues at 6:30 and after 9:00)Breakfast was ok: some toast with an onion and capsicum omelette plus coffee for around 200 rupees.The wifi was good on all floors, including my room, for checking the news, emails etc. just don't try downloading anything because it's takes ages.The view from the roof was great as an added bonus where you can sip on a cold drink and look at the beautiful Taj.However, when I checked out there was a different receptionist who's English was decent but tried to rip me off for a cab ride to the Agra Fort which was less good.

Unique style hotel that had central staircase connecting lounges and floors leading to a rooftop terrace. Good service for travel needs.

This is a budget hotel in Agra, and for the price, it's a pretty good deal. Within walking distance of the Taj Mahal, great rooftop restaurant with good food and friendly staff. The rooms are definitely dated, on the small side, and could've been cleaned a little better, but it was adequate for a budget traveler.

As expected the experience was satisfying.The hotel is at good location ;the ambiance is also good. The interior of the hotel can be upgraded

This was my second visit to this place and it has changed a lot. this hotel is value for money and specially the Roof Top Restaurant makes it more special. You can sit and relax and watch the beauty of Taj from the Roof Top. Perfect place to spend the evening with your dear ones. It is near the Taj Eastern gate and just a walk away to the Taj. the hotel staff is very polite and specially the guard at the main entrance. Best part is that the also have the free driver accommodation. I would again love to go and stay there and would also recommend this to other people.

Restroom stank like sewage. After several request, we were moved to a "suite." However, they expected an additional charge for the suite. Suite however did not have any hot water. It was a struggle to check out.

hired a taxi from hotel for sightseeing. Taxi & driver was good, but the guide experience at Fatehpur-sikri was bad. Advise to take guide at gate of sikri.

Stayed for one night. Very close to Taj Mahal so one can walk to there. The Taj Mahal can be seen from the roof-top restaurant. The food was not that good though. Foreigners can also walk a much shorter distance to a ticket counter to buy the ticket to Taj Mahal and also get (1) a bottle of mineral water, (2) a pair of covers for shoes to walk on the Taj Mahal floor, and (3) a free ride in a vehicle to the Taj Mahal and bback to the ticket counter place.
Had to ask for a bed sheet under the blanket, which is not washed daily.

Got really badly bitten by flees or lice at this hotel, cannot say if it was an unlucky anomaly or if the hotel has poor routines regarding cleanliness. Could count 20 bites only on my left shoulder.
Hotel shuts down the AC at night which led to a too hot room when sleeping.
Food in the restaurant was nice, in house massage-service was also good. The room had what is needed for a single night sleep over, firm nice bed.
It is really too bad about the bed bugs I suffered, otherwise it is an okay hotel for the money spent.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Location is great as it's a 5 minute walk down one road to the Taj itself and there are places to eat within easy walking distance. We had some food and drink in the hotel and it was fine. Staff always seemed fairly welcoming and friendly. Main downside was that the rooms were a bit dirty and really needed a good clean. The window was so dirty you could hardly see out of it. We paid a little extra for a Taj view from our room which I would not recommend. It is not worth the money as the views are not good, and good views of the Taj are easy to come by in the area for free, including on the hotels communal balcony which offers a great view. Overall, this was ok for a short stay but the rooms need a proper clean and for a few extra quid there are a couple of hotels directly across from here that offer swimming pools and breakfast and much cleaner rooms. (we moved over to one after 2 days)

We spent only one night at Taj Plaza Hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They waited for us until almost 4am for check in as our train was 10 hours late!
The beds are comfortable and internet works intermitently and not very fast.
The food at the hotel's restaurante is amazing.
It is really ten minutes walk to the Taj Mahal.

The hotel is 5 minutes walk from the Taj Mahal. It's true and it is very convenient. Our room was quite clean but very cold, hot water was lukewarm. But we believe the hotel correspond to its price.
