This hotel might be less than one star (quite a lot less!), but the views over the Raj Mahal from some of the rooms (rooms 108, 111 and 112 are best) are definitely five star. And back to those rooms. Well, they have clean sheets on hardish beds and all the bathrooms have bathtubs...so really not so bad after all.
