[Mikesh, 03/11/2011] A must see, but don't expect too much as people go with very high expectations and get disappointed. It is an architectural marvel but it could have been maintained better. They have tour guides to explain everything and also people outside the main building taking pictures where you can act like you are touching the top of the Taj.

[AndrewPo, 12/09/2008] The Taj View Hotel only really had one very positive attribute, which was that we really could see the Taj Mahal from the bedroom. Just.

While the Taj Mahal is quite a long distance away and the air-quality poor enough to restrict vision a little, it is still very pleasant to see this magical sight from the bedroom, although of course it is not visible from all rooms.
All other facilities at the hotel were adequate rather than outstanding, but then the reason to come to Agra are to see
