Radisson Hotel Agra

I'm very satisfy with my choice of Radisson Agra. It is a nice hotel with roof restaurant and pool, with view over Taj Mahal. A quite unique experience. Special attention to Mr. Anil, from the reception. I had an issue and he helped my out. During my stay, he was always friendly and helpful. Also mrs. Neeha of Travel agency, she helped me with the excustiosn and also about a problem, which was solved in 20 minutes. Also special award for the restaurant and the waiters / waitresses. I won't mention names, as I will forget some and I don't want this. They were all very friendly, helpful. I had good contacts with them. When I left, they had even a little present for me. That was a nice moment in my holidays. Also a thank you for all the cooks and to mr. Sanju Kumar, executive chief, for his interesting talks about the Indian food! My advice, take a room with view over the Taj Mahal, it is an unique view! I think that this hotel is the best location for visiting the Taj.

A bit strange, but foreigners receive Nescafe and the locals get the (better) Indian coffee. We all want to eat and drink the local food. So Indian coffee for everybody! (I asked for and I received the Indian coffee, but it should be standard.)

I would say this is the best Hotel you van ever find in Agra. Fancy yet affordable. Front staff made a mistake on check out payments but it was handled well right away. He even called me on my cellphone to make sure everything was taken care of, so thank you to staff named Dhananjay Rai for excellent service. I enjoyed my entire experience in Agra thanks to this hotel. If not for this hotel I think my Taj Mahal experience wont be as great. Its location is convenient , honest souvenir shop is just across the street. And the buffet all day is one of the famous treat they offer. Their rooms are magnificently clean and comfortable. 100% will come back in the same hotel. All staff even the front door service are top notch. Bonus: must see the top floor, theres massage and bar with pool!

People were friendly and staff were great.

I checked in and was told my room would be ready in 1/2 hour. I left my bags and arrived back at 4 Pm only to see my bags left in a corner under a camera unsecured. That was 4 hours. I was disappointed as I had money and passports in my luggage. I was told the bags did not get put in the baggage room unless it was there longer. I found this utterly disappointing. I got told sir the bags are under a camera. So what would Radisson have said if my passport and belongings were stolen. Sorry??? This is not good enough. Let’s see if the Radisson staff read this and try to contact me. Or just let it slide as I have now left.

Definitely the place to stay if you are going to see the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Our room overlooked the Taj - amazing for the money we paid. Also there is a fabulous roof top terrace where you can enjoy a drink and a bite to eat with a view of the Taj Mahal .The food here is good and there is a roof top pool.

We booked a tour of the Taj Mahal through the hotel , the tour was excellent and very inexpensive however be prepared that they then encourage you to visit other places where you can shop , we felt uncomfortable about this but when we asked to leave there was no issue . The second day we took a Tuk tuk to the Agra Fort and went at our own pace which we enjoyed . However I do feel you need a tour guide for the Taj and ours was excellent .

The hotel's service was exceptional. We could only use 3 of the 5 booked rooms due to some of us missing our flight connections, but the rooms were upgraded to executive suites for free. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left the hotel, Anil ji provided us with exceptional service, catering to each and every request of ours and even tending to our suitcases as we ate lunch at the hotel with the rest of the group (total of 11 people) when they arrived a day later. He even offered to check in to the 2 spare rooms early morning, use the rooms to freshen up and then check out. Although we did not use this option, as the rest of the group arrived late, tired and hungry, we were still very happy with the option being offered to us. The food was great, we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel, which all three were buffets with plenty of options, be it continental, Indian, or fusion, there is something for everyone. I did not use the swimming pool myself, but according to my family that was also nice.

Nothing, we got everything we needed.

I like the overall concept of Radisson hotels. The staff was nice and helpful. Also, we were invited by local staff members to participate in the celebration of Republic Day and had an opportunity to taste some snacks with them. The room was clean, towels were white and soft so we enjoined our stay in Radisson hotel.

The only thing to mention is that we couldn't warn up our room. Despite the fact that we turned on higher temperatures in the ventilation system, it was not heating. Also, some of the plates in the bathroom were broken. However, it was not a show stopper.

The room was comfortable, clean, and of good size. Though a reasonable spread was available at breakfast, the taste could get better (vegetarian options). With the metro line in front of my room, I don't see how that can change. For this very reason, the room tariff could be priced a bit more competitively as guests have to compromise.

I was made to wait for 30 minutes at check-in as the room wasn't ready, so I was told. But I did observe a few guests checking in who had lined up after me. I had driven down all the way from Lucknow with my daughter, and we were hungry and exhausted. Not wanting to waste time, we decided to take the lunch buffet at the restaurant on the ground floor. Though the staff were polite, the food was cold. This was not the nicest of welcomes.

- We booked a room with Taj Mahal view and the view was fantastic. See the picture. It was taken from the roof top/terrace. We liked the fact that the hotel surrounding are not crowded. - We loved the buffet breakfast. There are various dishes from all around the world - Healthy, Continental, Chinese, South Indian, etc. We were surprised when Chefs came out of kitchens and talked to us asking for feedback/suggestion. Not once but every day. They really care for their guests and did everything to make us happy. They suggested and prepared stuffed Uttapam for us. Tried it for first time and loved it. - The restaurant and hotel staffs are well behaved and very helpful. - The hotel is just 15-20 mins away from the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.

We would suggest the staff to put boards or signs when part of the property is booked for parties. We had awkward experience twice.

The restaurant at the rooftop has real nice naan bread and in general interesting and tasty curry options. Breakfast is decent but do not expect excellent. There is tuk tuk outside the hotel which is convenient. If you go to Taj Mahal you can take a tuk tuk from the outside and a guide from the hotel for only 600 rupees would be a good choice, we did not take an di regret it because as a foreigner there is a looooooot of hustle and bother going on outside of the monument.

Poor gym equipment. Dusty room (after second day of cleaning it was okay).

The service was exemplary! Breakfast choice was very broad and everything was tasty. All the staff were very friendly, extremely attentive and very quick. We needed a few things delivered to our room during our stay and the longest we had to wait was 3 minutes. The staff make the hotel a pleasure to be in.

The bathroom was dated and could do with renovation, for example the white grouting has either turned yellow or was missing in places. The off white tiles had turned a pale yellow colour. The carpets in the hallways could also do with being modernised.
