Hotel's Favourite

Superb City Break

The Taj Mahal Palace is a magnificent hotel filled with unrivalled charm. From our airport pick up right through to our check out the service we experienced was first class. We stayed in the club rooms in the palace and wow we were mesmerized. The palace has an incredible atmosphere and you can feel and see the history all around you as you walk through the corridors. The club rooms are beautifully decorated and offer access to the palace lounge for afternoon tea and the sea lounge for pre-dinner cocktails and live entertainment. The lounges offered a huge variety of mouthwatering food and beverages. The dining experiences at the hotel are fantastic - we particularly enjoyed the tiffin at Masala Kraft. Breakfast was also great but for less hustle and bustle a good tip is to eat breakfast at the top of the Palace Tower. This also has great views of the Gateway and the sea. We were celebrating my parents' wedding anniversary and the hotel staff went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable for the family. A once in a lifetime cake presentation and cake cutting was set up in the famous Tata Suite - what a magical experience this was, thank you to all the staff who made this so special for us! The general manager was incredibly professional and friendly. The pool was glorious, fit for royalty. We really enjoyed our afternoon swims! The service was second to none - nothing was too much trouble and we were always greeted with warm smiles! We experienced Tajness in abundance - exceptional Indian hospitality, kindness and warmth! Thank you for the memories, we cannot wait to return.…

Nice But a Bit Confused...

First off the tower is an eyesore and a blemish on the Mumbai skyline. Hotel is nice, but I was left with a few questions. We booked rooms in the historical palace wing and thought there'd be a bit more difference between the two properties. I have not seen the rooms in the tower wing, but form what I understand both properties share all facilities so I can't figure out why we paid so much more to stay in the historical wing. Car drop off is at the tower wing regardless of where you are staying, exiting he palace wing there is no sidewalk to walk on, you literally have to walk on the street and hope not to get run over. There is also nowhere to sit in the palace wing lobby so you end up having to use the tower wing lobby. That being said, our room and bathroom were nice and we had a nice view of the Gateway of India. Service was also good, but at checkout there was only one person at he desk and three people waiting. I made my way to the tower lobby and checked out there. Breakfast was good, but two of the restaurants were closed for special events at dinner on one of our nights, we had to sit and wait in lobby until a restaurant opened at 7pm. I guess what we were paying for was the priviledge of not staying in the eyesore tower.…

Lovely hotel with a great staff team. Easy check in done in the room. Our room was on the 4th floor. Large bedroom and bathroom. Well appointed furnishings. The best cotton sheets ever! We really loved the room service. As soon as we used a towel it was replaced. Great toiletries. Worth joining the historic tour of the hotel to get a greater sense of the history. The bar and restaurant by the pool is super. The Souk restaurant was lovely Lebanese food although pricey of course. Great location and easy to travel to and from the airport. Local taxi 1200 rupees, Taj Palace chauffeur driven car approx 5700 rupees.Take your pick!

Would like to stay 3 nights what kind of room category able to accommodate 2 adults and 2 child both aged 9 years old. Like to book 1 room only.

Boom the cheapest room available. Taj is good with their hospitality and if they have a bigger room available, I believe they will bump you to a higher category room.

What time is the Club room open for cocktails, is it open after breakfast, does it have a particular name or just called Club Room? Thanks in advance

Usually cocktail hour is from 6.30 pm till 8 pm also if you stay on the club floor or the club room you have an access to the club lounge wherein you have complimentary hour with complimentary cocktails.

I booked a room through hotel website and input credit card information for guarantee purpose. Two days before check-in, I received an email asking me to make payment in advance on an unknown website. Without knowing if it’s fake or not, there is no explanation on the consequence if I don’t make this payment. Will my room be cancelled? Didn’t I already have credit card guarantee? How does it make any sense to pay in advance?

Sorry, I can’t help. I was on an organised tour so did not do the booking for our stay. I would email the hotel direct in case you have just received a scam email.
