Home away from home 💙

The stay at Taj was just amazing. The staff were so friendly, felt like home. The facilities, services, food, ambience, top notch! Really loved the idols (lord idols) at the entrance as the decor😍 The indoor pool was heated, and fun given the rainy condition during the stay. Location is really good, with pretty streets at a walking distance. Masala tea in the morning was cherry on top. Would definitely come again!

Beautiful hotel, with nice rooms and good location in the city centre. We thought the hotel was good value for money. I love the Taj amenities! Had a massage at the spa by Yanga which was divine and I would definitely recommend it. I have been to much better spa’s in terms of atmosphere and service, however cannot fault the massage. Breakfast was wonderful and we had dinner included in our package at the Mint. Having stayed at other Taj resorts, we were disappointed with the service in the restaurants. This included service with the staff and slowness in the kitchen too. During one dinner at Mint, we had to wait close to an hour before our main meal arrived since placing our food order. There is one server Khanyi, I have to call out. She was exceptional and a real standout with service compared to some of the other staff at Mint. We dined at the Bombay Brasserie one evening and we were disappointed with the service again and food was ok. Overall the food and service did not stand up to the expectations that we had.
