Gateway is an older Taj property that reeks of old world charm. The cottages and gardens are expertly laid out and the service is attentive. My room was well appointed but old. Overall an excellent option in the Coonoor area.

Overall it was sort of just OK stay. We selected this property since Taj brand was attached with it. Food was good and staffs were courteous and ready to help you all the time. But biggest disappointment was room that was offered to us. It was really small for 2 person and I seriously cursed myself for spending 25k per night for that hideous room. The rooms ends as soon as you enter into. It’s not worth your money. Seriously disappointed with room.

Gateway Coonoor - calm serene relaxing
Great location within Coonoor. Sprawling green property with plenty of open space , gardens and trees. Calm and serene surroundings. Food is good, overall very friendly and helpful staff includes front desk , house keeping and restaurant. The improvements are mostly to do with age of the bungalow that has been converted to a hotel. Condition and upkeep can be better .

Stayed two nights. Loved the colonial feel of the hotel just up on the hill above the town of Coonoor. Particularly having a small study area with a fireplace. We passed on the toy train to Ooty but enjoyed a day walking up to Sims Park and then down into the hustle and bustle of the town before escaping back to manicures lawns and watching the mist roll over the hills. A jumper is really needed here in the evenings. The only disappointment was the restaurant. High prices but not high quality. We suspect tinned mushrooms was a key ingredient of our mushroom and pea curry, and my stir fried Bhindi was well over salted. Serving popadoms was a nice touch but no sauces or chutneys to go with it. And why is hot food served on cold plates? Even though I can see a warm plate contraption in evidence. Lovely dinning room but lacked any real sophistication which was a shame. Otherwise an enjoyable stay.

Great hotel in the British Colonial fashion. Good views, beautiful gardens, nice facilities, helpful staff and many extras. We visited in January and each night a staff member would come and start a fire in our bedroom fireplace. Still not warm enough? Ask for a hot water bottle for your bed! The hotel is centrally located making it easy to enjoy all Coonoor has to offer.

Taj, congratulations on restoring the Kumarakom, plus the upgrading of the Savoy going on at present. Now it is time to share some attention for the Gateway Coonoor, a facility in desperate need of some love. Hint: Take care with Hôtel arranged transport operator.
