I really liked this hotel. It's a nice quiet oasis in Agra. Agra is a small town/city its got Taj Mahal and Agra fort which are amazing so worth a stay. Location of hotel was great and central, breakfast buffet (included in price) was super amazing with fresh juices made to order omelets and just about everything in between. Rooms were nice and our view was beautiful (they have a nice pool and beautiful waterfall). The bar is very nice too and overall place is great. We even went to the beauty salon and got threading done for dirt cheap prices (well for western standards). It's important to stay in this type of hotel in Agra because besides the main tourist attractions, there is not much else to do.

The other reviews are good gidelines, but be aware that effective April 1 this hotel was no longer part of Hilton. It is now strictly part of the EIH Trident Hotels Group. This was a surprise and I was not aware prior to arrival.

ok this was a posh hotel we were staying in as a break from our back packing travels around northern india. We didnt stay here for perhaps long enough to get a good feeling for the place - about 13 hours in total(!) but my impressions were mixed. Check in was perfect - the girl behind the front desk was excpetionally polite, despite us getting all sorts of stares when we pitched up in dirty clothes and with rucksacks (we'd just done a 400km drive). The room was quite small, smelled a little damp, but had running hot water which was welcome. The food was good despite being overpriced, as was the bar. The Bad: We had hired a young driver from Haridwar to take us to Agra then Jaipur. One of the Concierges at the Trident tried to convince us to ditch our driver in favour of someone he knew - quoting us the same amount of money to drive the 240km to Jaipur as we had gotten for the 600km journey from Haridwar. He also tried to make us believe that our driver had not shown up in the morning, until i confronted someone else about it and funnily enough it transpired he had been waiting all along - hardly the sort of behavoir you expect from a top end hotel. This sort of profiteering at ours, and our drivers expense left a bitter taste.

We stayed in this from now on non-Hilton hotel for two nights after travelling extensively in Southern India and Delhi for 10 days. Great and tranquile relaxing haven in-between the hot-spot days. Relaxing facilities including the swimming pool area, a gym-converted room with adequate workout equipment and throughout great service in a hotel, which does not encourage tips for its staff. Rooms are excellent and quiet. Mini-bar bit-overpriced as well as the usage of business centre internet connection. Breakfast buffet with all the task-waiting (omelett etc) chefs one of the best ones anywhere. Bar bit overpriced, but with an ok variety. Only a few blocks away from two modern shopping malls with great variety of good-value shops and cinemas. Easy access to Taj Mahal. A reason to take a rest for an extra night in Agra after seeing the must sights and continuing to the next hectic spot.

Typical Hilton (ex Hilton now Trident). Very nice pool are and excellent rooms. I think it has its own power as we had a couple of very short power cuts when the generator seems to kick in. Over all its just a good hotel and very near to the attraction. All i can say is for the price its good
