Ranked amongst the best hotels in Agra near the Taj Mahal, Trident, Agra is a low-rise hotel with all modern facilities and customised guest services. It is conveniently located just 3 hours by car from New Delhi and is just under 10 minutes from the Taj Mahal, along the East Gate Road.
Rescheduling to a different date is possible free of charge up to 7 days before check-in, subject to availability.
Reviews are solid — the property holds a 4.5 out of 5 rating from over 3,541 guest reviews. Guests most often praise the gardens, the pool, and the breakfast buffet; a smaller number of reviews mention inconsistent food and beverage service on individual visits, which is worth knowing going in.
For traveller's who want to be near the Taj Mahal without paying Amarvilas-level prices, yes — Trident is the Oberoi Group's five-star sister brand, so guests get genuinely upscale service and grounds at a fraction of the cost, just without the Taj views from every room that Amarvilas is known for. It suits travelers prioritizing value and location over that specific feature.
The Taj Mahal is about 1.5 km away, roughly a 10-minute drive along East Gate Road. Agra Fort, Mehtab Bagh, and Fatehpur Sikri are all reachable as half-day trips, and the hotel itself has a pool and gardens for downtime between sightseeing.
The hotel is about 10–13 km (roughly 15–20 minutes) from Agra's Kheria Airport, and around 1.5 km from the Taj Mahal itself. It's also a common overnight stop for travelers doing Agra as a day trip or short break from Delhi, about 3 hours away by car.
Cancellations made 15 or more days before check-in receive a full refund; cancellations within 14 days of check-in are non-refundable. This is a stricter window than some of the luxury properties in this collection, so it's worth double-checking dates before booking. Rescheduling is free up to 7 days before check-in, subject to availability.
No — deals are not valid on blackout dates, which include public holidays (plus 2 days before and after) and long weekends. Worth checking specific dates against the booking period before enquiring.
