Such a beautiful and amazing stay we had with our family. We had a group booking with three families and it was memorable. The staff made sure we were well taken care of, well fed, and they were so warm. Taj lives its name and I am happy with my decision to stay here. Food has so many options and very tasty too.

We stayed for 2 nights at Taj Ganges. Property is nice and staff - Muskan is friendly and helpful. However, the bed sheets in one of our room had tea stains and was dirty and the bedsheet was not changed, we observed the same bed sheet was covered with another sheet next day, it kinda lacked quality of a 5 star hotel like Taj, except that food, transportation service from hotel and reception staff was great.
