Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Lovely location; me and my daughter loved it . The walks alongside with the peacocks were a one of a kind experience. Given the landscape and location of the rooms it is not suitable for old people or people with leg/walking problems as it involves some level of walking around on uneven terrains even to reach the go cart. Given the location and peacocks I personally believe it is a very expensive stay.

Amazing place!

It was an amazing experience all made possible by the kind Accommodations Manager Mr. Ashok N, the GM Mr. Vishal Srivastava and the Executive Chef Mr.Tapan Sahoo. They were very courteous and warm. The room was spacious and well lit. The ambience and surroundings were peaceful and lush green. The guided Nature Walk led by Mr. Muniswamy was educative and interesting. The food was very good. Overall, a truly five star experience in the bustling Madurai City!

Most people aren't aware of this property within Madurai. Pasumalai hills are lovely and evergreen. We liked the hotel location. But since the hotel is 1890 most of their rooms are very old. We had A/C issue and when reported we got alternative room with A/C was much better. Thanks to the manager asokan who took care of this issue with utmost care. Room Service, House Keeping are very excellent service provider with kind words. Liked the Peacock sound and view early in the morning. Their breakfast is mouth watering with various variety. Loved the food and hospitality of Gateway Madurai. We were lucky to get views of Madurai Meenakshi Amman Gopuram from our patio. Rooms & Restrooms are spacious for four. Recommendation to build accommodation/dorm for drivers who are the carriers of guest.
