How excellent it is to have your hotel 5mins walk from one of the 7 wonders of the world! It is near to Taj Mahal and the hotel is of good quality! Could improve on hot water for showering though.
On the positive side the manager could not have been more helpful. The view from the roof is spectacular. The Wi-Fi is strong. The rooms are dirty, in need of decoration and the breakfast is just toast and jam. But for the price the location is fabulous. There is no pool as it claims
Fantastic location with Taj Mahal view from the bed and bathroom. Very helpful manager. Lovely food. Great rooftop restaurant. Good location to get around. Walked to sunrise at Taj Mahal in 10 minutes. Quiet and peaceful. The negatives were the electrics were poor, they were over enthusiastic in transferring us to a suite and broke a bottle, they were frequently knocking on the door to ask us to eat there. The suite is poorly protected from mosquitos and does not cool down enough.
The staff were very friendly and cooperative with our group which arrived on the train early in the morning. They provided space heaters, which helped us combat the cold nights.
The proximity to the Taj Mahal is the main feature of the Hotel Taj Plaza. Other than that, it is merely functional. If you want a comfortable stay with a charming atmosphere, stay elsewhere. If you don't have other options, this may suffice.

Close proximity to the Taj Mahal a big plus, rooms could do with more bankets in winters
Great hotel, it was very close to the Taj Mahal- an easy walk. We got a room with a view of the Taj Mahal and it was spectacular. Hotel staff was very friendly and courteous, the breakfast was good. I highly recommend this hotel.
From the off this was a poor experience, one check in we were told we had to pay for the room (despite already paying) after showing the booking confirmation and credit card statement this was going to be refereed to the manager (when we checked out no apology was made or statement to say we had paid) I suspect this a scam to get double payment. The room was acceptable with good aircon and fantastic room, the bathroom however was unusable, the bath / shower was cracked dirty and full of flies with 2 threadbare towels, neither of us wanted to use the bathroom.
The included breakfast and diner consisted of a choice from the menu or credit of about 150 Rs (you're better off paying room only and then probably eating elsewhere). The food on site was actually ok but overpriced.
Location is the only redeeming feature as it's about a 10 minute walk to the Taj east gate
Overall this hotel is no better than a cheap backpacking hostel with a good view, well overpriced for India
i was to late to check in. the desk manager was fine to let me check in. the guest service was also helpful, helping brought luggage to the room. during night, after 8 pm it was dark, however, there is still seen silhouette of the great taj mahal from the aisle of the hotel. the hotel is great, only the Agra area has no connection to the Uber, so mostly have to use Tuk Tuk service to move around.
Very good deal !! Second closest hotel to Taj East Gate with a view, 5-10 stroll to gate - 2 king beds - roof top restaurant! staff was super friendly!

Great location and excellent food
Our room was on the 3rd floor but their elevator was not working .... apparently it has been not working for a long time. My sister can’t climb stairs. My room that I paid for was gorgeous with a great view. However the replacement view was crap. They made up by comping our food and drink while we stayed. They hotel and resto staff were not professional (in industry terms) but very nice and polite. The location was great. The food was spectacular. Especially the chicken curry and hyderabadi biryani. I would definitely recommend the food. There were bugs in the washroom but that did not bother me so much as I have seen worst in Europe. Also what do you expect at a 2-star near the desert in Agra.

Stay was good, however there was a problem with cable connection. Inspite of lot of trying the problem could not be fixed.
The resturant wanted the payments to be cleared immediately after every food we take & they were not interested to club the same with Hotel bills. The issue was bought to the notice of management who assured to look into the same.
Good hotel next to the Taj East gate ticket office
When I arrived, the receptionist's English was excellent and very helpful when answering in questions about breakfast and late checkout. The room was pretty good with a big bathroom and a big bed to spread out on. The sheets were clean but a little stained - but the price is excellent and we're in India so it goes with the territory.
They offer a locker service if you want to visit the Taj after check out at 12:00 which is handy (however I did not use the lockers and would recommend getting to the Taj for 7:30 to avoid the queues at 6:30 and after 9:00)
Breakfast was ok: some toast with an onion and capsicum omelette plus coffee for around 200 rupees.
The wifi was good on all floors, including my room, for checking the news, emails etc. just don't try downloading anything because it's takes ages.
The view from the roof was great as an added bonus where you can sip on a cold drink and look at the beautiful Taj.
However, when I checked out there was a different receptionist who's English was decent but tried to rip me off for a cab ride to the Agra Fort which was less good.
