Very simple lodge. Nice place to rest for a day near the swimming pool after a long car journey. This will be the best you can find in Karnataka anyway. The food is excellent. The Taj group had develop a new concept which is to hire local house wife as chef to prepare the same dish as they do at... More

Taj delights, again! they know how to take care of guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend package at Gateway. Beautiful, extra large pool simply pulled us to buy swim wear and jump in. Food was great. Staff very nice. Property is really nice, offering beautiful view of sunset and the hills.

Gateway Chikamagalur is a decent property located close to the town & on the way to Kemmangundi. Though it has got everything, there is a feel of something amiss. One – it’s quite an old property & the other the food - not the very high quality that Taj sets and for all that they have, felt it was quite... More

Spent a relaxing weekend at the Gateway. We had booked two cottages. The hotel is ideally located for folks who wish to undertake further trips into the hills and forest. The rooms are huge and offer a calming ambience. My one year son loved the hammocks outside each cottage. The staff were highly attentive to personal request and details. The... More

It is a place worth visiting. The hotel is isolated (around 6 km away from the town) and located on a hillock. It is a very calm and safe place. The personnel on front desk are also very organized and courteous. We were offered a welcome drink on arrival. The check-in was handled with no hassles and in a good... More

I was referred to Taj Gateway Chikmagalur through a friend working in Tata Group. The experience of placing my booking for the room was handled very well with the hotel initiating calls and emails and promptly taking care of all booking formalities. The duty manager John Peters worked out a good rate for my family of 5 (me, wife, mother... More

I choose this hotel over The Serai, reading the reviews on TA . Me and my wife stayed here for one night, considering it to be a hill station we thought it will be cool but the only cool place was our room with the AC was on :). The hotel is very clean and so are the rooms. The... More

The Gateway hotel is ideal if you want to explore the area around Chikmagalur. Rooms are a good size, with very comfortable beds. The food is pretty good. We are not keen on buffets, so we ate from the a la carte menu, which worked well. Only problem was when we ate outside at night - there was no way... More

The Pros: The standard Taj hospitality is there, the fresh towels and wonderful welcome drink greet u to this smallish resort in the outskirts of chikmagalur. The pool is really good and clean – excellent time for family. The rooms are clean, AC is good – u really need it in the summer. Restaurant buffet is absolutely lip smacking –... More
