The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra

During our round trip through India, we spent one night at The Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We had high expectations, but what we experienced exceeded them in every possible way. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome. The traditional arrival ceremony with flower garlands was such a beautiful touch and immediately made us feel special. We were personally greeted by General Manager Mr. Kukreja and Room Division Manager Mr. Rawal, who both took the time to welcome us and introduce us to the hotel. When they connected our anniversary celebration with the words “It’s all about love,” it really touched us and set the tone for a memorable stay. Our room was absolutely stunning. We were lucky enough to receive an upgrade, and when we entered, we found it beautifully decorated for our anniversary. We were genuinely speechless. Every detail had clearly been prepared with care, and it made us feel truly valued as guests. One of the most memorable moments was our dinner under the stars. The setting was magical, the atmosphere wonderfully romantic, and the service and food were outstanding. It was one of those evenings that you never forget. Of course, the location of the hotel is exceptional. Early the next morning, we were taken directly to the Taj Mahal by hotel buggy to watch the sunrise. Seeing the Taj Mahal at sunrise was one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives. Afterwards, returning to the hotel for breakfast made the morning even more perfect. What really makes this hotel stand out, however, is its people. Every member of staff we met was warm, professional, attentive and genuinely kind. The level of hospitality throughout our stay was simply remarkable. There is one more reason why we are especially grateful to Mr. Kukreja. Our original booking was for Thursday to Friday as part of our independently planned itinerary. Unfortunately, we were not aware that the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays, which would have made a sunrise visit impossible. After contacting the hotel, Mr. Kukreja personally helped us change our reservation, even though we had not booked directly with the hotel. Thanks to his support and willingness to help, we were able to adjust our travel plans and enjoy the unforgettable sunrise experience we had been hoping for. This level of customer care went far beyond anything we expected. We are sincerely thankful to Mr. Kukreja for making it possible. We stayed in several wonderful hotels during our journey through India, but The Oberoi Amarvilas was without any doubt the highlight. The exceptional staff, outstanding cuisine, attention to detail and the many thoughtful surprises throughout our stay made it truly special. Thank you to everyone at The Oberoi Amarvilas for creating memories that we will cherish forever. If you are planning to visit Agra, my advice is simple: stay here. You will not regret it.

This hotel has a very special atmosphere and a unique energy that makes the stay memorable. The highlight is undoubtedly the view 🌟 Waking up to the Taj Mahal from your room and enjoying it from your private balcony is a truly special experience and one of the things that gives this hotel its charm. I also loved the traditional dance performance in the afternoon with the Taj Mahal as a backdrop. It creates a beautiful atmosphere and makes the experience even more unique. The room itself is comfortable and pleasant. My only criticism would be the bathroom, which felt quite small and narrow compared to what I expected. Other than that, the room was perfectly fine. The service deserves special recognition. The team is attentive, responsive, and genuinely cares about guest satisfaction. During dinner, some dishes were a bit too heavy for my taste, but after explaining my preferences to the chef, he kindly prepared something fresher and lighter. I truly appreciated that flexibility and attention to detail. I also had a wonderful experience with the guide arranged by the hotel, and my driver was excellent throughout my stay. Another thoughtful touch is how well the hotel takes care of guests visiting the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Early in the morning, coffee, fruits, and light refreshments are already available in the lounge, which is very convenient before heading out. Overall, this is a hotel I will remember for its breathtaking views, its special atmosphere, and the warmth and professionalism of its team.

A visit to Agra is usually synonymous with a visit to the Taj Mahal! And when the hotel experience AND the Taj Mahal visit are both outstanding, the trip qualifies as a superbly memorable one! So it was for us in May 2026! Superlatively warm service and a high quality of care and attention at the Oberoi Amarvilas Hotel had us feeling spoilt! And then the visit to the Taj Mahal with our wonderful guide Sandeep Kumar had us enthralled. This was not our first visit to the Taj. But Sandeep created a completely different experience for us with his vast knowledge, interesting facts and his ready wit! His storytelling style was par excellence! And we had the best photos from this trip because Sandeep guided us to the best spots! Memories have been crafted that will stay with us for a lifetime!

We enjoyed the property. The staff very good ,rooms and all area very clean plus every one took care of us. We love Oberoi Group of Hotel

We stayed at the Oberoi Amarvilas at the end of May for our wedding anniversary visit to Agra and we enjoyed every moment of our stay . The location , the room , facilities and the heartwarming service by the entire staff made the whole experience one of the best we have had in recent times . From the day we checked in till we left , everyone really made us feel at home at Amarvilas, which is what I guess Oberoi hotels stand for ! The personal conversations we had across check-in , dining and tours with the staff showed the dedication and attention to detail at Amarvilas and really would like to thank everyone who made our stay amazing . We could not use many of the facilities of the hotel like Spa , Pool Gym etc due to lack of time and those we would try the next time 😊. Would like to congratulate the GM Rohit and entire staff at Amarvilas for the excellent standards in hospitality and we really look forward to coming here again !
