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

Situated opposite the gateway to India national monument this hotel is part of the history of the city of Mumbai. The standard of service is excellent. Nothing is too much bother for the staff. The pol area is small but the poolside restaurant offers a variety of meals as do the ten other restaurants the hotel offers. The Harbour bar... More

We were visiting Mumbai and decided to visit the Sea Lounge at the Taj for High tea. The service was bad and abrupt, food mediocre and the staff were always hovering around for tips. The sofas and table were dirty. Hotel is living of its former glory and brand name. The restaurant managers are indifferent and do not bother to... More

A wonderful place to stay. Stunning architecture (ignoring the tower). Comfortable rooms, great service. Faultless. Looking forward to staying again. More

I had the great pleasure of spending a week at the Taj in January for a work event and must say that it was a first class experience from the moment I arrived. International flights can arrive very early in the morning so I had arranged for the room by paying for the prior night. Ryan from the sales office... More
