The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra

location is the best in agra if u wanna see taj mahal from hotel room. atmosphere is great too. room is great enough to occupy 3 people indeed and u must book a balcony room if u wanna see the beauty of taj. cleanliness is top notch and hospitality and food both cant be described in words;they were the best part of hotel as per my preference. no complaint regarding service it was very well managed and amenities which they provide in room are more than sufficient . overall a must visit stay in agra.

We had an excellent stay at the Oberoi. We were very comfortable and slept well. The proximity to the Taj Mahal allowed us to go very early in the morning to see it. It was a trip of a lifetime and staying at the Oberoi made it as comfortable and easy as possible.

If you want to be treated like kings, then you have come to the right place. The hotel is excellent in every respect and the ideal base for visiting the Taj Mahal. They take care of everything. Our stay started off carefree with the airport pickup by the very sweet and attentive Mr. Harbhajan Singh. He is the driver for the Oberoi and pampers you rotten, explains everything well, and provides chilled drinks and refreshing towels. He also takes care of your transportation during the excursions to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and other sights. He is always punctual and helps keeping an eye on the schedule to remind you of your planned excursions. In Belgium, we call that "crème de la crème." We would certainly also like to thank our guide Imran. He accompanied us on our excursions to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. His knowledge of these places is inexhaustible, which made our visits very interesting and unforgettable. We already miss the Oberoi Amarvillas: the beautiful rooms, the attentive staff, the delightful pool, and the delicious food. In short, a hotel never to be forgotten. Thank you Oberoi, Harbhajan & Imran !!!

Gorgeous property with stunning views of the Taj Mahal. The architecture and grounds are spectacular—especially after sunset—and the cocktails and in-room dining were excellent. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. For someone who doesn't love being the center of attention, I occasionally found the level of attentiveness a bit overwhelming, though it was clearly well-intentioned. Compared with other luxury hotels I've stayed at, I thought the bed and the outdoor furniture on the balcony could use an upgrade. I enjoy spending time reading on the balcony, and more comfortable seating with a footstool or reclining option would have made the experience even better. My only other suggestion would be to keep the pool open until 9:00 p.m. instead of 8:00 p.m. The evenings are beautiful, and an extra hour would let guests enjoy the atmosphere after returning from sightseeing. Overall, this is a beautiful luxury property with exceptional service, incredible views, and memorable architecture. With a few comfort upgrades, it would be even better.

We used a guide to Taj Mahal - Muzammil recommended by the hotel. He was genuine and excellent and very friendly knowledgeable and a passionate guide about his roots and did a great job about explaining the culture of the city and tour.
