The hotel is conveniently located on the outskirts- so not in congested inner city. The Taj service and hospitality is always fantastic and this property lives up to the high standards. Special mention for the breakfast room staff (Ckowk) - Deepak, Stithy and Dhananjay- they were so so nice and made the stay wonderful. Front desk Supriya was also very helpful and made every effort to make us comfortable. This is a property I would highly recommend! 5*

The staff was excellent. The room was very comfortable. I left medication in my room when they checked out and they managed to get it to the airport in time for my flight. It's very difficult to train a staff as consistently good as Taj. I'd stay there again.
