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.

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.

For the rating and the their charges, the property was way below expectations. Even hotels with no star rating would keep it cleaner. Disappointed

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!

This is a luxury destination for a colonial era. We were fortunate enough to stay in the main house, which was simply sublime. I would not hesitate to stay here again. We did not want to leave

Perfect place of peace away from the noise and dust of Madurai, yet close enough to access everything in town. Great views of the town from the hotel alongside a diversity of birds, trees and natural life. Staff are the best at all levels. We loved all of it.

The staff was super friendly. They helped with local travel and commute. Property is unique, quiet and serene, one with nature. Pandian, Ram, Sudipto were specifically super helpful. They made us feel like home. Paid attention to every detail and provided excellent recommendation. Food and Breakfast buffet were amazing.

As always a memorable stay made possible by a professional team headed by a GM who leaves no stone unturned to ensure that each guest feels like he is returning home. The renovations that are taking shape are changing the character of the hotel by modernising it but retaining the heritage aspect of the property.

Very disappointed for a Taj Group property! My group check in was the worst, very slow and disorganised. Actually embarrassing in front of my group. No welcome drinks, I had to ask. I emailed all passports and room requirements in advance, but still the twin rooms were not prepared, no one seemed to know who was in charge. We kept getting different information from different staff members. Had to ask for the tennis court to be cleared of debris! Very poor or no tennis equipment, some rackets and tennis balls are not much to ask for in a five star property. Will not stay again

I think this is the third time we have stayed in this hotel. Nothing seems to have improved since the first time. The rooms are bare and spartan and need renovation. While I agree that it is a heritage property, the facilities and decor inside the rooms could be improved a lot.

4/10

The property is amazing but they are ruining the “TAJ”name . The first room they gave us had horrible sewer back up smell and musty odor that made me gag and cough all night and next day we requested a change of room and they did change it which is good but it should not come to that . There was “hair “ in the food. The server had such horrible body odors and sweat smell which was over powering the smell of the food they were serving

Property is very beautiful and peaceful but rooms are not great very spacious room but not clean bathrooms need renovation. I will not recommend this hotel for elderly people who can’t use stairs because lots of claiming My best impression is all the staffs very pleasant and courteous. Especially Mr. Pandian one of the excellent person who helped us lot my special thanks to him. I will give 5 stars to staffs but management needs to take care of this property. Also please make sure when you hire employees they must speak Tamil In Madurai employees don’t know Tamil? 🤔
