I only stayed for one night at the Taj Palace on a very fleeting visit, so I can not provide a particulary indepth review. However, the only negative thing I would mention is that it is starting to look just a little bit tired...but only a little.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the room comfortable and fairly spacious. It contained the usuals you would expect to find in a superior hotel, complimentary toiletries, fruit and chocolates.

It makes a good airport hotel as it is only a 15 minute drive away. Not so good if you are looking to have shops, hustle and bustle near by as the area seemed quite quiet.

There is a reasonable sized outdoor swimming pool, which alas I had no time to use but it looked most inviting!

This hotel won't knock you off your feet but you will have a perfectly pleasant and comfortable stay.

arrived at hotel after long flight from newark..immediately escorted to club floor, and spacious suite. room , like lobby,was beautiful, amenties included snacks on arrival, robes, free happy hour in private lounge nightly. business centre facilities and staff were great. hospitality of staff exceptionally good...we were greeted at every turn by a friendly helpful person. breakfast buffet was enormous and of good variety. hotel restaurants were first class...esp good service in chinese restaurant. overall a very very very good stay

The Hotel had a lot of problems for the price.

1. They tried to charge for a airport pickup when I had arranged my own. I had too argue with them about this.
2. Noisy renovations kept me up when I first arrived when I had a long flight and was trying to rest. Rattled the glasses on the desk.
3. They couldn't fiqure out how to link two reservations and wanted me out when I was staying longer.
4. The front office woke me up at 1:00am over some trival subject.

Good points
1. Nice gym and workout area
2. Good food at the Oreint Express

We stayed one night at the Taj palace at the start of a weeks tour. The hotel doesn't look that great from the outside - a dit dated but the lobby is quite spectacular.

When we arrived the hotel was fully booked with a conference and very busy which meant the service wasn't really that great. We needed lunch and the only place we could find to sit was by the pool, we waited a very long time to get served and the order was wrong which they quickly rectified. The room was ok, we had twin beds unfortunately. not particularly spacious and the decor non-descript but it was clean, one couple on the tour stayed in a club room and that sounded much better.

We ate at the indian restaurant which was excellent, the service was very good and the waiters very helpful and keen to tell us about what we were eating, we asked to share a starter and they gave us two huge portions for the price of one and a free desert when we weren't going to have one. The bhuna ghost was lovely.

All in all we were a little disappointed, we had thought this was supposed to be one of the best hotels in Delhi but i wouldn't say it was 5 star, it could do with a bit of updating and the pool area wasn't that great. We were supposed to go back there at the end of the tour but instead flew to Goa from Jaipur and were quite glad we didn't have to go back.
