This hotel is a jewel. Fabulous public spaces, great service, nice mix of restaurants. Definitely stay in the old wing. The garden and pool are a real oasis in the midst of Mumbai. We're pretty demanding travelers and this is a GREAT hotel. Good gym too. more

We arrived in the Taj Palace after spending 24 hours on an overnight train from Agra. Somewhat tired and ragged we were still taking in the view of the harbour and the Gateway of India when our taxi pulled into the Taj Palace and Towers. We were too early to check into our room (city view in the Towers), so... more

Ever since staying at the Taj three weeks ago, I have been dying to return home and get 'revenge' on the hotel for its absolutely outrageous prices by giving it a mere FOUR stars instead of the full five... but alas, I just don't have the heart to do so! While we were completely raked over the coals for our... more

Just back from a stay at the Taj Mahal and what an experience! We had rooms in both the Palace (pool facing) and the Tower (Deluxe 15th Floor). The Palace rooms were OK, but smelt rather 'musty' whereas my room in the Tower was fantastic! Skyline views over the city and harbour and even an enclosed balcony. Thought my room... more

We booked the Tower part of the hotel at the end of our travels in india during which we had mainly used budget hotels. We hoped that a treat at the Tower would make our stay in Mumbai all the more enjoyable and offer a relaxing end to the experience. The main lobby part of the hotel is incredibly impressive... more

We stayed at the club floor in the Taj Mahal building and really enjoyed the very nice room overlooking the Gate of India. The rooms are very nice and up to what you would expect of a 5 start Hotel room. The Butler service offered worked very well and the Butler was present when you needed him. The building itself... more

It's good but for the prices charged it should be. Booked 4 rooms for myself and friends for 5 day stay.The first thing to say is, yes it's very expensive, not just the room rates but prices in restaurants and bars are very inflated. Go outside and you can get a great 3 course dinner and a drink for the... more

This very historic property blew us away when we first arrived. We were upgraded to the Heritage wing (which is the old part of the Hotel renovated to modern day standards with the touch or yesteryear and history that is totally appropriate). My first room was 354 and the second one was 330 (I came back the following week). Again,... more

What a magnificent place! It has the style and gradeur of the Victorian period, in which it was build. The pool side area is a fantastic relaxing area where the small snacks never seize to amaze. Fresh fresh fresh, no compromises. I can imagine that the Oberoy or Four Seasons appeals more to business men as the amenities in the... more
