"The Pierre" but NOT a Taj Hotel
If you ever experienced another Taj hotel you better miss this hotel out. You will be very disappointed because of some poor professionals and the lack of the “Taj spirit”. Unfortunately, I was misled by some of the Internet comments praising this hotel but I must admit: Gentlemen, guys, have you ever been to another Taj hotel????? This hotel doesn’t even come close to the Taj standards you will find elsewhere hence I attach some examples:
1) Whenever you enter the hotel all employees at the main entrance will look busy 
2) Don’t be surprised if the concierge will check her messages on her PRIVATE I-Phone during her explanations to you
3) You might return at 23.00pm on Saturday from a lovely dinner with your wife and want to finish perhaps the evening with a glass of champagne. Please don’t be surprised if the bar is closed for a private venue (without notice)........and don’t fall apart if the night shift will recommend to you: “one of the other hotels down the road, to have the night cup”, thank you (5th Avenue.....)
4) Surprise, surprise..........and the bar was also closed on Sunday evening, like a concert hall or public hall, mainly occupied during weekends
5) No other restaurants available due to refurbishment works, or.....
6) Renovation works, they obviously have no vacation
Dear Users,
If you are looking for a hotel close to the city and central park “The Pierre” will be perfect. Despite all adversities, my wife and I enjoyed the very professional service at breakfast and once the bar was open for public, but you will share my expectations and experiences that this is by far not enough to be considered a Taj hotel. Furthermore, if you believe my review, you will also share the idea that 4star hotels in general offer more value and better professionalism; ok I might also miss the very friendly doorman or liftboy but..................... is that really enough?
