The hotel was beautiful. The check in wasn’t the best. We were ignored for a long while one of the staff members was showing something to another one on the computer, but we were never acknowledged. Another staff member pointed us to the person who should be assisting us, and still she didn’t say anything to us like sorry for the delay, it’s going to be a minute, or something. Then we were sent to be assisted by the person who was getting help from the other staff member. We checked in and she told us to get to our room crossing the court yard… she said our room was in a different building. We were sent on our own. We ended up going inside a different hotel. The people at the wrong hotel pointed us on the right direction. At the end, there was a way to get to our room through the hotel. We didn’t need to exit the property. Another guest staying at the property showed us where our room was located since he and his family were staying across our room. My family and I didn’t feel very welcomed by the staff. The hotel on the other hand is beautiful.

This hotel is convenient as its close to my office so I use it when needed. on this occassion I was checked into an upgraded room. When I arrived in the room every door, drawer, window was open or not where it should have been - even the bathroom bin was on one of the tables. I am only ever in the hotel for about 6 hours before I trturn to work, in the morning I discover the shower head was hanging off and the fitting ws so loose that it wouuld not stay in the same place when turned on - not an upgraded room - a room that was known to be substandard and given to someone who was only in the hotel for one night therefore filling the room for the night. I have stayed in enough hotels to recognise the scam - next morning "Im really sorry sir" which does not matter one tiny bit as I have paid and need to go back to the office. Room filled for the one night leaving another room free for a longer term booking. Very poor on this occasion Im sad to say

An superb visit.
We stayed a week in London and this hotel was our home base. The Classic rooms were just that - petite in the typical European manner. Bathroom was large but the plumbing looked like it needed new fixtures. The room had great luggage and closet storage and provided a lovely coffee and tea setup. The place was a little rougher around the edges and the bed was squeeky but it served us well as a central location for all our London outings The property was beautifully decorated for the Christmas holidays. Two downers tho- one was that one of the lifts to our floor was down and non operational during the duration of our stay which made waiting to go up to the room a bit of a bother but made due also there was way too much perfumed air freshener in the lobby area which always triggers my asthma every time I went thru that cloud. Beside that everything else was superb and our breakfasts were a great start to each day!

Serviced like a Taj
This is a fantastic hotel made fantastic by their service and attention to detail. It is an older facility that is undergoing renovations and they accommodated our request to change rooms after one day to one of the newer rooms. Don’t bank on the gym - while functional, it’s old and literally in the basement. Outstanding restaurant attached to the hotel and the Indian foods are very home style, authentic and customized to our palate by the chef. We will return

My sister and I had a wonderful stay at the Taj. The staff was incredibly welcoming, the hotel was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and the room was a comfortable size for two people in London. The location was perfect, with an easy walk to main attractions like Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey. Additionally, the nearby tube station made exploring the city incredibly convenient. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Service to meet my disability needs.
Excellent service! I booked as an electric wheelchair user, and booked a premium room as it looked large enough, I don't need grab rails etc. When I arrived at the hotel, the receptionist said that she thought there might be a better room for me, she offered my partner and I a complementary drink while it was sorted. When it was sorted about 30 minutes later, the hotel had upgraded us to a suite, which was perfect for my chair, extremely spacious and clean, could not have been better. Outstanding staff just thinking on their feet and providing the best experience I've had when a hotel isn't quite sure the room I booked is large enough, top marks, cannot fault the Taj, will definitely be back, thank you!
