Utkarsh Vilas is a large, fairly new hotel about 20 mins from the Taj Mahal. The rooms are large and clean, but look very tired already (crumbling bathroom tiles, threadbare carpet).

We stayed at this place for 1 night and I'm sure glad it was just one night! I was traveling with my Mother and sister, the front desk was very, very rude.

They switched on... more

We stayed here for one night. On the face of it the hotel looks lovely, and is lovely - it is a new hotel, and has been decorated fairly well. We stayed in a suite which was very spacious.
