We have stayed here several times in the past and this time they surpassed themselves! We stayed in palace wing which I just love and whilst there it was my birthday (which they had picked up when they look at your passport) and had decorated the room with balloons when we returned from dinner- followed on the actual morning by...

Undoubtedly the best city hotel I have ever stayed at! The hotel arranged for my airport transfers which were smooth and effortless. The drivers provided me with some interesting information about the city and pointed at the various sites on route! The cars were spotless and the drivers curteous! Upon arrival at the hotel, a member of staff was waiting... More

From flawless check in by Viren our stay at the Taj was excellent. Beautiful room in the Palace overlooking India gate. Food and service faultless. A truly professional organisation and a wonderful experience. Do take the Palace tour which runs each day at 5pm hopefully you will meet Viren who was pure theatre. More

This is the first “iconic” hotel (think Peninsular in Hong Kong, Oriental in Bangkok, Ritz in Paris etc.) that my wife and I have ever stayed at as we usually view such hotels as being too expensive but as it was my first time in India and we were arriving at two in the morning and had planned a four...

We stayed in the Tower Wing of the Taj for part ( we had to leave at 1 30am) of our last night in India. Our room faced the Gate of India and was spacious ( nor butler button in evidence like the Oberoi!) altough the bathroom was surprisingly small , We regretted that we had so little time to... More

We stayed at this hotel as part of our trip to India and can honestly say it was amazing. The checkin was smooth and efficient and our room in the tower wing was very luxurious. We requested a sea facing room on a high floor which i'd strongly recommend as we had a first class view of the Gateway to... More

Stayed here for a night at the end of a trip around India and had a room on the 9th floor of the tower, with a view over the sea and the Gateway to India. Room was nice, view amazing and the entire hotel is spotless and beautifully maintained. The tower definitely lacks some of the character of the heritage... More

My stay at the Taj was a remarkable experience, all thanks to the impeccable service and an eye for detail. The tower wing does need some renovation but am willing to go back again and again just to experience their warm hospitality. the Taj people know how to pamper their guests. Laxman at Shamiana was excellent and he knew his... More

Recently was in Mumbai and went to Taj Mahal Palace, beautiful hotel..but cannot say the same for the service and food..it was dismal. We went to the Sea Lounge for High Tea. Was sorely disppointed. The quality of food was BAAAD. They had a crepe station...had to ask the chef THREE times before we got the crepes. The cutlery was... More

This historical hotel is majestic, royal, and faces one of India's famous monuments - Gateway of India. You can either stay in the newer tower (which was destroyed in the attacks of 2008) or the old tower. We stayed in the Old Tower and our room faced the famous monument. The rooms in the old tower are a bit old,... More
