We stayed here as part of a Golden Triangle + Udaipur trip to celebrate my 50th birthday. I'd particularly selected this hotel for the day of my birthday for 2 reasons: it meant we could visit the Taj Mahal and also I'd taken my mum to the Oberoi in Cairo for her 70th birthday and it was perfect (everyone from... more

This hotel is what you would expect from a world class hotel: excellent service, good entertainment, lovely food, and high rates! But it is the views (see the many pictures people have posted) that make this place what is. Opening my eyes and seeing the Taj in the morning from my bed was an experience I will never forget. more

It's worth saving cash along the way to stay here. We had an early train into Agra from Jodhpur (6am), had breakfast here (real cappuccino!), checked into our hotel and then went to the Taj. The hotel takes you there by golf cart and will be there when you return from your visit. The rest of the time, we spent... more

We stay in Amarvilas for our honeymoon. This place is really nice, especially the view: each rooms, restaurants, or place are facing the Taj Mahal. One the evening, there is music and dance performance next to the swimming pool, every guest can just enjoy the show from our private balcony with the Taj Mahal at the background and the sun... more

India was an amazing place to visit, and this hotel was a highlight. There is nothing nicer than eating on your private balcony, with the sun coming down over the astounding Taj Mahal. The people are very helpful, the rooms are comfotable, the food was excellent. I liked this hotel because it was casual and classy... no expensive jewelry shops,... more

We loved everything about this hotel. The staff were polite and attentive, the room was lovely (the view of the Taj Mahal from our balcony was just amazing), the food was excellent. On our last morning there was a fire in the spa, which was rapidly contained. However everyone was evacuated safely by cool, calm and collected staff. We were... more

I have been to other hotels in the world where one feels that a good part of what one is spending is more or less “for the view” but this is not the case here. Although the view from our room at the Amarvilas WAS SPECTACULAR, really one of the most beautiful in the world…our room and the hotel’s restaurant... more

Like anyone who goes to Agra, there is most likely only 1 reason to go there - to see the Taj Mahal. The Oberoi is a refuge and provides as close to perfect as it can get in consideration of it's surroundings. Service, staff, and overall hotel experience is top notch. One has to realize that Agra is not easy... more

Great hotel...great staff... Agra itself is a bit grotty, but the beauty of the hotel and the fantastic attention to detail (and small kindnesses) of the staff more than compensate. Then, of course, there is the Taj Mahal...nothing can beat sitting on the balcony watching the Taj at sunset. But what really made it memorable for us was the quality... more
