Everything was absolutely top notch, top of the list being the staff. From the moment I was met at the airport, to the moment I arrived at the hotel, then check in (which happened in the room vs in the lobby) right through the stay - the genuine warmth and interest every member of staff showed, as well as of course their experience, was exceptional. As was the building, the grounds, the room, facilities and food. And the view. Oh my, the view.

The only thing I didn’t like was the hardness of the mattress - but everyone has different needs and you can’t suit everyone. Oh, and the other thing? Having to leave!

Our stay at the Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and impeccable service that made us feel truly special. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking balcony view of the Taj Mahal – waking up to such a stunning sight was an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, exuding luxury and elegance in every detail. A special thanks to Anjali from the restaurant staff, whose attentive and friendly service made our dining experience exceptional, and to Imran from housekeeping, who went above and beyond to assist with last-minute flower arrangements, adding a thoughtful touch to our stay. The hotel also offers seamless transport to and from the Taj Mahal, making the experience even more convenient and enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you to the team for arranging a special birthday surprise for my wife, making the occasion even more memorable. The food was outstanding, the ambiance serene, and the entire experience was one of pure indulgence. We cannot recommend Oberoi Amarvilas highly enough and cannot wait to return!

Amazing hotel with stunning view overlooking the Taj Mahal ! We had romantic dinner at our balcony and it was one of the best we have ever had ! The food was also great . Best place to stay ! It’s just a few meters from Taj and they drive you with the hotel buggy. It’s also very close to Agra Fort . Just a short drive! We felt very welcome by the staff ! Oberoi is known for their excellent service . Can’t wait to visit in the next days Oberoi at Jaipur and Udaipur! I know I will have amazing stay there as well !

Everything was perfect !

This truly is an exceptional hotel and I cannot praise it more highly. It was in a different league to anywhere else we stayed on our India trip and on many previous trips to India . The service was outstanding in all areas and the hotel management is very impressive. Every little details is well thought through. The location is incredible and our room with balcony had a fabulous view of the Taj Mahal. ( the only hotel which does). The decor is beautiful. The room has very comfort. The food was delicious. The pool was heated with comfortable sun beds.

I don't have anything to criticise apart from perhaps the high price. However it is really worth it for such an outstanding experience.

I had the pleasure of staying at this incredible hotel during my visit to Agra, and I cannot recommend it enough! I was absolutely blown away by the experience from the moment I arrived. The highlight of my stay was, without a doubt, the stunning view of the Taj Mahal from the resort. Waking up to the sight of this magnificent monument was truly magical. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable, offering all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. The hotel staff was exceptional—friendly, professional, and always ready to help with anything I needed. They ensured my stay was seamless, from arranging transportation to offering excellent recommendations for local attractions. The restaurant was another standout, where I enjoyed delicious meals while gazing out at the Taj Mahal. The food was top-notch, and the ambiance made every meal feel special. The location is perfect for anyone visiting Agra and wanting to be close to the Taj Mahal. It’s just a short walk to the entrance, which makes it so convenient to visit the monument at sunrise and sunset. I also appreciated the quiet and peaceful environment of the hotel, making it a true sanctuary after a day of sightseeing. Overall, my experience at this hotel was beyond exceptional. If you’re planning to visit Agra and want to make the most of your time there, this hotel is a must-stay. I will definitely be returning!

Total oasis of luxury

This was hands down the best hotel stay I've ever had, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Agra! Despite the price, it's worth every penny. Celebrating our anniversary, the staff went above and beyond, upgrading and decorating our room, surprising us with a cake in our room and at dinner. The pool area is stunning, and the spa experience was remarkable, topped off with an amazing private yoga session. They even arranged a guide to tour the Agra Fort and Taj Mahal.

Our hotel stay was absolutely flawless, and I couldn't find a single thing to complain about. From the above and beyond service to the luxurious amenities, every aspect exceeded my expectations.

A Royal Experience at the Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra I have had the privilege of staying in some of the world's most luxurious hotels, but none have compared to the unparalleled excellence of the Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra. This majestic hotel is a true masterpiece, seamlessly blending opulence, elegance, and exceptional service. From the moment I arrived, I was treated like royalty. The warm welcome, impeccable staff, and stunning surroundings set the tone for an unforgettable stay. The rooms are exquisitely designed, with lavish amenities and breathtaking views of the Taj Mahal. The attention to detail is astounding – from the intricate craftsmanship to the delicate rose petals adorning the corridors. Every aspect of the hotel exudes refinement and sophistication. The culinary experience was sublime, with delectable cuisine and exceptional wine pairings. The staff's knowledge and enthusiasm only added to the delight. But what truly sets the Oberoi Amarvilas apart is its soul. The hotel's commitment to excellence, sustainability, and community is palpable, making it a true gem in the world of hospitality. In short, my stay at the Oberoi Amarvilas was nothing short of spectacular. It has raised the bar for luxury hotels and left an indelible mark on my heart. If you ever find yourself in Agra, do not miss the opportunity to experience this incredible hotel.

The only thing I didn't like about this hotel is that I had to leave.

A truly stunning royal heritage property taking you back in time with its classical construction and gorgeous interiors. A place with tue character with breathtaking views, lush gardens and amazing water features. The most impressive part of the property is the outdoor pool and garden terrace areas giving a surreal experience. Designed thoughtfully, we got a feel of the Mughal aura throughout. The Service and attention to detail was outstanding to put it mildly. Our deepest appreciation to Sujal and the entire staff for personalizing our entire experience paying attention to every single detail.

The most fantastic hotel. The staff are so attentive, friendly and helpful. We dined at the Indian restaurant in the evening and the food was exceptional. Our room was lovely and very clean, with amazing view of the Taj Mahal. In the evening we had drinks on our balcony as we watched rhe sun set over the Taj Mahal, an experience we will never forget. The pool area is a lovely setting and well maintained. The breakfast was exceptional with such a wide variety of foods to try and order from the menu. We visited the Taj Mahal at sunrise and the hotel arranged some drinks and snacks to have before we left which was very thoughtful. The hotel is an excellent location and a short ride in the hotel golf cart to the Taj Mahal. The hotel and staff were very accommodating helping us with everything we needed including a late checkout. The gym is well equipped with cold towels and water.

The dumbbells in the gym are a little old and it would be useful to have the weight of the dumbbells in kg provided on the dumbbells too.
