Close to the Taj, and roof-top restaurant overlooks the Taj thought it's not as close as that header picture depicts. Location therefore, is excellent. Staff are friendly and helpful. The main caveat for this ghotel is the room size. Some rooms are slightly larger than others, but all up, you wouldn't want to spend too many nights - of course, people don't spend that long in Agra, despite there being so many incredible sights to visit here. The roof-top restaurant is the main hook - an excellent view across to the Taj. Unfortunately, food quality here is quite poor, as they don't employ a decent chef - in fact, were they too he would demand a far better kitchen than it's current tiny, hot cook-box. We had a good chat to the manager, who is fully aware of the limitations and is going to what he can to increase room sizes and generally smarten up the place, but the weather is a problem and the building is old, which is part of its charm. In all, I would recommend Saniya Palace, but I would take greater care to ensure both an AC room and a good sized one.
