Staying here was a lovely experience, I had a harbour view room which was nice and airy. The staff were very helpful without being obtrusive, even down to the point of aligning some hand washing I had done so it dried in the sunshine in my room. There is a spectacularly nice restaurant in the lobby and a decent pool.... More

It is also close to the Jetty station from where you can catch a Ferry to reach fort kochi. The food... More

We stayed for 5 nights at the Gateway Hotel and it was bliss. Breakfast was included and they made chocolate banana pancakes especially for my friend. A couple of times we had the buffet lunch - superb! There was a problem with the room in which my friend was staying and so they moved her to another (larger room) immediately.... More

India's famed Taj Hotel group have re-branded some of their properties in India calling them "Gateway Hotels" they're the same properties with the same decor and service but have cut down on the in-room toiletries. Having said that they're still great hotels which are now cheaper to stay in ... this one is situated right by the water where many... More

I've been travelling to cochin every now and then. I can tell you, if you want to enjoy the natural beauty of the Arabian sea along with the high standards of accommodation and service, then there is no better place than The Gateway Hotel. Just go there once, you'll visit this place again and again for sure. More

We stayed at the Gateway on 2nd January for one night en-route to the back waters. Cochin is a lovely place and to be honest I wish we'd stayed longer. Lovely hotel, excellent staff, great breakfast - the only thing I would say is paying for internet is pretty disappointing. That aside I couldn't fault the place. Would recommend to... More
