Parvaz Washington July 11
2008:“Beautiful Hotel”
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.
UK, Doncaster May 30 2008:“Perfect
Hotel - the bar is EXPENSIVE the water
even more so !”
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 <3000INR.
Do not buy water in the restaurant its 85INR and that's a rip off. The
bar is expensive by India standards. Expect to pay 650INR for a
beer and cocktail. Food cost us 2000INR
for the buffet for two with the shockingly priced water.
Recommended. Certainly.

We stayed
one night and could have been at the Hilton in Peoria, not that that
is really bad. The rooms were clean and well equipped. There is nothing
really in the area except a fairly uninteresting mall a
couple of blocks away. We did not eat at the
restaurant but I never saw so many white chef's hats and so few
customers. Service was great to us but the doorman really tried to run
off the driver we hired, that was irritating.

Malahide, Ireland May 9 2008:“Great quality hotel”
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.

London April 22 2008:“both good and bad...”
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.

Dec 18, 2007 : “Design hotel with excellent service”
This is definitely a paradise in the middle of a rather ugly city.
When the 6 of us arrived at the Trident in our mini-bus we all said
"WOW!" at the same time. The new lobby and restaurant decor (it was only
24 days old when we arrived) is stunning and very artistic. The minimal
clean lines combined with Indian art pieces works very well together.
The restaurant had been extended by the time we arrived and was very
welcoming and the food was excellent, both buffet and a la carte. The
staff is extremely well-trained, polite and discreet, yet friendly. One
of the waiters overheard us raving about the decor in the restaurant and
came over to proudly tell us that it was newly renovated. The value for
money can't be beat.
USA Dec 4, 2007 : “Nice hotel, well
trained staff”
We stayed at this hotel for one night last week of November. The
hotel had a nice European look and feel in the lobby area. The checkin
was great, and we were upgraded to a suite on the 2nd floor. The staff
was courteous, attentive, and well trained. The suite was quite spacious
with nice views of the garden. Our stay was short (to see the Taj Mahal)
and we didn't have the time to use any of the facilities except the
great restaurant where we indulged in the dinner and the breakfast
buffet. The dinner dishes were great, with the best tasting goat curry,
and dried paneer I've tasted on this trip.The room amenities were
excellent, but completely overshadowed by the view out the french doors!
A really nice touch was the delicious birthday cake and candle the hotel
provided. The hotel also provides "golf buggies" to transport you to the
Taj Mahal since motor vehicles are not allowed near it.
Dmh London Nov 13, 2007 : “Comfort and
peace in Agra”
The Trident Hilton Agra, is a good hotel. From the moment you walk into
the newly refurbished lobby you get a good feel. This is then confirmed
when you look out into the enclosed pool and garden area. While we were
there the restaurant and bar were being refurbished but we saw enough to
know that once this is complete the hotel will be very modern and
comfortable in the public areas.
Wik Mainz Aug 11, 2007 : “Good location, kind service”
Very good bargain. Rooms clean, nice pool, very peaceful and close to
the Taj Mahal. Strongly recommend anyone going to see the mausoleum to
stay there.
