The hotel offered spacious rooms that were quite comfortable, though they had limited facilities for the price. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our stay more enjoyable. However, the dining experience was lacking as the breakfast could use more variety, and the location, while near attractions, felt small and dark at times.

I had a stay at a hotel that offered a lot of charm, but there were some notable shortcomings. The rooms were well arranged and the bathroom was great, but unfortunately, the view from the window left much to be desired, making the room feel a bit cold and dark. The service was outstanding with very proactive staff focusing on our comfort. The location wasn’t ideal for exploring nearby dining, requiring a cab for anything outside the hotel. Overall, it was quite a mixed experience.

The hotel has a beautiful setting and the rooms are very comfortable, especially with the huge four-poster bed. Although the staff is friendly and attentive, I experienced some noise disturbances at night which affected my sleep. The location is convenient, being just 20 minutes from the Taj Mahal, but it's situated next to a busy road. Overall, I found it to be good value for money despite the few drawbacks.
