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.

Loved our stay at Taj Ganges. The hotel is had a wonderful gardens to walk around, the staff is so Courteous and helpful, the Chef KK takes special care of all your dietary needs. We also took a treatment at the spa and if you do I highly recommend the Abhishekha Experience with Hussain. The food has both incredible local delights and international favorites. We plan to return soon. Thank you for such a wonderful time.
