Gateway Coonoor

The Villa, The view, The gardens, The flowers, The spa, The sumptuous breakfast, The staff, especially Satish and Sailesh and the welcome spicy drink... All brilliant .Did not go out. Walking distance to Moddys and Sims park. The ducks walking past, the telescope watching stars...

Gateway Coonoor is at an excellent location, and a comfortable distance from the Coonoor market. It is a heritage property with complete British Colonial architecture, and one of the coziest I have stayed at. The check in process, was smooth and personalized, and though we reached 2 hours before check in time, we were graciously accomodated. The property has huge expansive lawns with the 32 rooms of different categories spread over it making it a very quaint setting among the greens. The service is relaxed but has the signated TAJ hospitable DNA and scores highly because the whole staff is extremely attentive and polite. The gym is small, but it is a great workout to walk down to the market and come back up to the property, if you love to go on long walks. Plus amazing places to eat and shop within a 300m radius. Food is nice and decent, and the breakfast is a buffet, though they have an extensive menu for lunch dinner and in room dining. The rooms are big with spacious toilets and done up in the classic English style with high ceilings. Since the property is more than 100 years old, no 2 rooms would be exactly similar. Special mention to Kamesh, Even, Brito, Shailendra and Prakash, you all made the experience all the more better.

Very highly recommended. My last visit to this property was when it was known as the Taj Garden. The property continues to be charming and the maintenance of the rooms and the overall property is faultless. But what makes the hotel really special is the Team, Kamesh, Anand, Sumant, Kiran, Ambika, Theresa, Leona, the house keeping and facilities team members. We enjoyed a very informed discussion with Mr. Ramalingam on local cuisine and Kamesh very kindly spent time explain bits of the local culture and sights. Anand and Sumant went beyond in making my father comfortable.

The staff and the property are just awesome. All of them are so smiling and courteous all the time. They really strive to make your stay memorable

Good Expereience. Staff was courteous. Service was good. The location of the property is awesome. Well maintained. highly reocommend

A wonderful hotel to explore, especially in the breathtaking hill station. The property offers a variety of room options to suit different tastes and needs. There is ample green space for leisurely walks and for children to play comfortably. One of the highlights is the delicious array of food, particularly the breakfast offerings. The chef personally visits each table to gather feedback from guests, which adds a warm and personalized touch to the dining experience. Special thanks to Mr. Satish, the Lobby Manager, and Ms. Teresa from the front office staff for their exceptional support and hospitality. Overall, our stay was more than satisfactory.
