We stayed at Taj Bengal last week as a couple for one night. The hotel is nothing short of exceptional. It's unbelievably beautiful, with great service all around. Right from the moment you step inside to check in, you're welcome with burnt clay necklaces. Then you're accompanied to the room, and your luggage follows. The room is very nicely decorated, and has a nice green view. We were in a pool view room. I guess the only negative I find is common across all five star hotels, the bed is too soft. While majority prefer such a bed, I personally would like a slightly more firm bed. The entire hotel is very well decorated, and it looks amazing. Whenever we stepped out of the room, housekeeping came in, fixed our bed, and refilled fruits and water bottles. We were absolutely impressed with their hospitality.
Coming to the breakfast, it was mostly an Indian spread with some standard western offerings. My personal favorite was the Baked Doi, which is a baked version of the famous Bengali Mishti Doi. Overall, we enjoyed the breakfast, but not exactly blown away.
