Our driver picked us up at 8am and we were straight on the road from Delhi to Agra. We called into a roadside restaurant halfway through the 4-hour journey for some breakfast, and were welcomed by a couple of kids with their rather strange pets (PICS). One kid had a huge python, which was strange enough, until the other kid opened a small wicker basket and out popped a king cobra - complete with flared neck! The rural roads on the way to Agra were a true reflection of Indian life, some of whi...
Agra (Taj Mahal), India gonetilwhenever
Our trip to Agra was pretty simple as we only visited the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort and the shopping center. The Taj Mahal was a spectacle. Named one of the wonders of the world and it deserved that designation. Interestingly, it was actually a memorial for the Maharaja's wife. It made life ******* me because I had never made Rachel one of them. I'll start on one of them after I finish this ark I'm building back home similar to Noah's. We also got some fantastic pictures picking up the dome - w...

Day 3 Monday 17th March 2008 Dehli - Agra We got up a little early to give us time to make calls if our bags hadn't turned up. Just after Stewart got out of the shower the bell to the room rang......he answered wearing the Hotel's dressing gown and yes.....there was a porter standing there with our bags!!! He brought the bags into the room and once he had gone we opened the cases and got some fresh clothing out - we've never been so happy to get some clothes. We drove out of Dehli at about 9a...
Agra, India skcoll
Today we had an early morning train to catch to Agra. The train was at 6AM. Lucky this time the driver was on time. Once we got to the train station, it was really hard to figure out where we should go. There were no proper signs. There was an electronic platform information board, but our train information was not it. Then someone came to us and asked us where we are going and when we said the 6 AM Shabadi Express to Agra, they said "platform 1 sir". Now where is platform 1? Nothing was labe...
Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India theepan
Survived the one day in Delhi. No stomach issues. No harassment issues (though I think having a travel companion helps a lot with that - especially one that is constantly mistaken for being Indian). We left Delhi on the Agra Express train at about 6am. We managed to get on the packed train with no problems. The station was overwhelming in terms of the number of people there and how busy it was. But we were very focused and managed ok. The ride to Agra was only 2 hours. They fed us about 3 tim...
Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India vfrankHistorical Traveler Reviews of Trident Agra
Comfortable hotel, elegant rooms, lovely setting, excellent food and service
The entire hotel is beautifully designed and the rooms are modern, elegant and comfortable. The public areas are comfortable - the pool and garden are peaceful and pretty, the dining area is clean and well lit, the bar has just (Nov 2006) been refurbished.
Service is absolutely excellent. Attentive, friendly, efficient and staff all have the brains to take the initiave in providing good service rather than ploddingly following a set script.
Food is good and one knows it's "safe" to eat it - no fears of Delhi Belly here and very enjoyable cuisine to boot.
I stayed overnight in April and revisited just for a meal in November and was consistently impressed by this hotel, especially when comparing it to several others of similar and higher price ranges.
Quite nice..
Overall, I'd say the hotel is quite nice.
The staff is friendly and very helpful. Provided good directions and maps when we needed them!
Very good dining experience as well. Tasty food, and the tables were well attended by the staff.
The rooms are decent in size, and quite clean. But nothing exciting about the decor. Same can be said about the restaurant. Its clean and simple.. quite stark, actually, and doesnt look like anyone has given any thought to its decor. But like I said earlier, the food quite makes up for it.
On the whole, our experience at this hotel has been quite good, and I'll certainly reccommend it to other travellers.
Oh.. I forgot to add one thing. While making reservations, you might consider calling up the hotel directly. We saved about INR 1200 on the internet price..!
Another decent Hilton
We got REALLY lucky when we checked in cause the pool was undergoing renovations - so we were redirected to the AMAZING Amar Villas hotel. We were so happy to be in that fabolous hotel we just stayed there the entire day, enjoying the great looking pool. If you can, have a visit and a swim in the amar villas; it is not so expensive for guests.
The Hilton (also -known to locals only as Trident, not Hilton) might not be on the Taj in terms of distance but it is really close, about 4 min in a tok-tok is all you need.
Two night stay
The staff were excellent and very friendly proving packed lunches for us when aranging to see the Taj Mahal by sunrise.
The hotel was quiet during our stay and the hotel dining options were limited in terms of choice / menus but were adequate. The Sheaton is only a 5 minute drive away with more dining options.
The swimming pool area is very pleasant with sunloungers and tables/chairs providing ideal respite from the summer heat.
There is not much in Agra apart from the Taj Mahal and a few other sites of interest - Agra Fort is the main second attraction. I would certainly recommend a sunrse view of the Taj when there are less crowds and the temperature is lower.
I would stay at this hotel again if in Agra.
Modern, Clean, Well Priced Hotel
At $100/night for a double room it is not cheap by Indian standards but is infinitely more than you would get in the US or Europe for the same price.
Loved the Hotel
Taj was quite close for us. The driver had his own place to stay in the hotel so he was acessible at all time. I would definitely recommend this hotel. The bar was also good. They had a palmist on site :-). So it was fun to get ones hand read while having a drink. The kids loved their breakfast as they could have cereal and also they could special order their omelets :-)
Great hotel, very freindly / helpful staff - recommeded
The hotel is a little way out from the town and Taj Mahal is a car ride/taxi or rikshaw - you could not walk all that way. There are other hotels closer to the TM but you will find a rikshaw stand right outside the hotel (REALLY cheap way to travel around and FUN too). Otherwise use the htoel travel service and pay 20 t0 30 times the price. Agra is so small really that the rikshaw rides are ok really.
I would stay here again and would encourage you to consider the location, price and facilities too.
Nice place to stay
Excellent hotel
Over-priced and too far out!
