India Golden Triangle Hotels

A) Hotels
- The Metropolitan Hotel & Spa, Delhi (listed as 5 star but more like 4 to 4.5 star)
- Double Tree by Hilton, Agra (recommended)
- Rajputana Sheraton (recommended)

The service at Rajputana Sheraton (Jaipur) was amazing, e.g. 
- Requested for super glue to fix broken shoe and delivery person offered to fix shoe as well, with a 2nd visit coming back with a stronger commercial grade glue.  The shoe survived the trip back to Singapore.
-  flexible enough to deliver soup & bread rolls from buffet line to room for tour member who was unwell.
