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.

Gave 5 stars but probably more like 4 1/3
Overall a very nice stay! Reception staff was pleasant, Rooms were kept nicely. Breakfast was very good. My only complaint is the service in the breakfast restaurant was average. Had to ask multiple people for coffee, tea, cappuccino before anything would be brought to us. Did not receive our drinks until we were done earling.
