    the water in the room was small bottles and it was given only once, I believe being a hot days you should yourself provide 2-3 bottles per day to the rooms.

    We like the pool the most, Breakfast was Ok but there should be more options in breakfast

    We unfortunately only stayed one night. Wished we could have stayed longer. The hotel is an oasis in Agra. We also did not have breakfast at the hotel so can not comment on the restaurant as we had an early start to see the Taj Mahal and left Agra right afterwards.

    This is one of the hotels where the reality of the hotel was better than the pictures. We stayed in the Chamber of Prince Rooms ant it was absolutely beautiful. This heritage hotel showcased the best of India! The hotel spoiled the ladies with Henna Tattoos and offered traditional dancing at the poolside as well as a puppet show! It was such a lovely surprise. First to feel like you are walking back in time through this beautiful property. The big rooms with the antique pieces of yesteryear and then the heritage aspect.

    It would be great to have a bit more choice at the breakfast.

    Hotel is located in historical building built 150 years ago. But all facilities are new, rooms and territory are arranged with love and attention to details. There is nice garden, pool, candles everywhere. We've booked Chamber of Prince room. It's big, nice decorated, with comfy bed and has it's own exit to the pool. Staff arrange national dance show, puppets show and henna drawing in evenings. Main building is located in the garden, so you don't hear all these horns, which is a great relief in India. We had dinner in hotel restaurant and it was great, live national music during the dinner.

    It would have been nice to have more loungers by the pool but this is a very minor thing. Everything was lovely, despite my partner being convinced it was haunted.

    I loved the history that the manager explained to us when we arrived. The tour was really nice and interesting to see the artefacts that the hotel preserves. The pool was nice and the room was massive. It was nice that the hotel put on dancers and henna and traditional music while you ate. The bed was nice and comfy and the sheets were crisp and clean.

    The cleaning in the rooms could use more attention to detail.

    The grounds were charming. Food was good. Bed was comfortable and clean. Bathroom recently updated. The hotel hosts nightly entertainment which was a real plus. The best part was the staff. They were all very polite and helpful - especially Shabiyah. My interactions with her and the beautiful artwork she did on my hand was as the highlight of my stay.

    There was a slight issue with organising Taj Mahal tour in advance as it was a day the Yaj was closed. I thought it was quite expensive for drinks once service charge had been added.

    Room was simply stunning, and along with grounds and pool, it was a welcome haven from the chaos outside.

    Room on ground floor only had small opaque window so very gloomy. TV didn’t work but had no need so not reported. I think all a bit overpriced even for Agra. Immediate vicinity not the prettiest.

    Nice old property, comfy bar, restaurant with santoor tabla duo entertaining at dinner, pool and garden to sit out pleasant and very well kept.

    Historic hotel in heart of Agra

    If you are looking for a true historic hotel in Agra, vs. a faux-historic, this is the hotel for you. It's fairly simple - feel of an Old Word tourist hotel - and could probably use renovation (e.g. a nicer roof deck), but it's certainly solid as is.

    First night there was some kind of celebration in the hotel and the staff were running up and down the hotel and shouting during the whole night. Very noisy.Had to go to reception to ask for some peace and quiet because it lasted the whole night almost. Restaurant a bit pricy.

    Beautiful property, nice pool area and the garden. Staff helpful and polite

    It is in the middle of the city, busy and noise. The swimming pool usually is busy with events The installations need some renovation

    It is a hotel for events. We were there as guests for a beautiful wedding. The location is close to touristic attractions, but you need a transportation. Walking is not an option.

    A former colonial house 150 years old with historical links to the past. The cool traditionally decorated rooms overlook the courtyard garden. Very friendly staff. Complimentary henna tattoo.

    Shower douche pressure was really low, hair conditioner was missing, and the water being hard made the situation difficult for showering, and there was no hair dryer in the rooms

    Hotels' complimentary entertainment schedule containing welcome drink, traditional dance, hena artists, and pupet shows were really great.

    We were disappointed that the safe was not secured to the shelving in the closet, because anybody could have picked it up and walked out with it. It should be firmly bolted onto the shelf.

    The property was well presented, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We loved the history of the building, and the lawned area and pool were beautiful.

    The food was very spicy. The drinks at the bar for the New Year's Eve Gala were not good. The service, however, was very attentive.

    The front desk staff were very helpful in getting us a car and driver to go from Agra to Jaipur on a day when our previous arrangement fell through on account of a large scale transport strike.

    It didn’t look like the photos very much, a lot of it felt run down and unkept compared to other parts. Also breakfast was around £10 per person and the quality wasn’t amazing if I’m honest.

    It had a really traditional vibe with North Indian themes. The staff were really helpful and friendly. It wasn’t too far away from landmarks and places to eat.

    Like most heritage hotels a few quirks with the building condition due to age. This is hard to avoid in buildings this old and didn't take away from the experience.

    Lovely welcoming staff. Lots of character in the hotel and grounds, the rooms are beautiful and interesting. Loved the pool area! Good food and great service. Excellent value.
