We survived one night in the Taj Mahal. Of course, we should have known better after reading the grim reviews on TA, but it was one of the few places that our agent in the UK was able to communicate with electronically, so we found ourselves signed up for two rooms for two nights at $US 120 per night.

A big hotel in central Manaus, a huge lobby with freezing A/C... All the lights are on - but there i nobody home! I remember a similar experience to ths one. It was in East Berlin and the year was 1976. Everything smelled from mould and bad cleaning, lamps where missing, you were afraid to touch the elevator buttons, nolt... more

We booked all of our accommodation online before travelling to Brazil in April. This hotel was the biggest disappointment of the trip; the room was big, poorly maintained and greatly overpriced. The breakfast buffet offered a poor selection, particularly when you consider the abundance all around Manaus. The hotel definitely needs some updating and better management. The hotel's best point... more

Whenever I travel to Manaus to work purposes, I stay at the Taj Mahal, so I can talk a little about their urgent need for reform. The corridors and the rooms has a terrible smell of mold, and many things do not work properly, e.g., the toilet loose, the hot water that did not work at night, dirty pool, and... more

I have stayed at the Taj Mahal four times, from 1 to 4 nights. I have felt safe and secure. The staff has always been helpful. The rooms have been clean, and the bathrooms were nice. Like most non-American hotels, they spend their money on the lobby and not on the rooms. The rooms are larger than many. They were... more

Okay. We had one afternoon in Manaus. Since that's all we had I'm glad we stayed in the city and not on the outskirts at the Tropical. If I was there for longer I would have stayed there. The rooms at the Taj are very outdated. The room was very musty and damp. It really needs to be redone. The... more

Look for alternative hotel, the worst hotel I have stayed in. I dont think it has had ANY money spent on it in the last 15/20 years all VERY dated and falling to bits. Breakfast ok. more

This is one of the most expensive hotels in Manaus, however its quality is not even close to the price you pay. The hotel was built in 1991, since then almost nothing has changed. Everything looks old, with a not very pleasent smell. Besides, it is located in one of the worst regions of the city. I couldn't find any... more

Tal Mahal already had its days... Uncofortable rooms , no water on some days - at a 100ºF, average temp. - bad service and food more
