In a city full of business hotels, The Taj View is one of the best options for exploring the main attraction in Agra, the Taj Mahal, which is just 3 km (2 miles) away.
Set in landscaped gardens, the hotel is well-appointed, if a little characterless, but offers 24-hour dining and a renowned Indian restaurant, Jhankar, which is very much worth a try.
With many of the rooms offering views of the Taj Mahal, the Taj View is the ideal base for a short stay in Agra.
OUR OPINION:
The Taj View works particularly well for a one night stay in Agra given its proximity to the Taj Mahal. We'd recommend staying in the Executive room for wonderful views of the Taj Mahal.
