We stayed here whilst, surprise surprise, checking out the Taj Mahal which I must say was absolutely corking. I was prepared to be underwhelmed but despite the crowds and heat, it was truly breathtaking. The Suniya Palace was a good place to stay just around the corner and with helpful staff, good value rooms (with a/c that works, hurrah) and a lovely rooftop restaurant which has a splendid view of the TJ and good food; the vegetable pakoras a particular highlight. There were a few issues with the room on arrival though when pointed out, the manager was desperate to make amends, providing us with free chicken tandoori and chai at 4.30am in the morning. Still, just a simple room check would have prevented any issues. It's also slightly odd that the best few of the Taj, thanks to a pesky tree, is from the uncovered bit of the terrace which was too hot (or wet during a midday downpour) to sit in. Still, watching the Taj shift through its many moods over the course of a day of capricious weather, is something I will never forget.
