Tajness needs to be present.
The property is good but obviously not Taj standard but understandable for Varanasi . The service however specifically the breakfast resturant is a far cry from say 2 years ago to date because they starff that wander around and pay little attention to guest . We complained and they were apologetic and in departure gave us a gift .i will really like to see the realy Tajness service in future .
