Mr. Ashok and his team provided exceptional hospitality, consistently exceeding our expectations in addressing all our requirements. The breakfast service was outstanding, and the staff demonstrated remarkable attentiveness to our needs, offering delicious options tailored to our preferences. Mr. Ashok was particularly considerate of our younger guests, ensuring their requests were always acknowledged. The complimentary dinner buffet, extended as a guest invitation from the General Manager, was an added highlight to our experience. We extend our gratitude and anticipate our next visit. ❤️🙏

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.

Stay with the nature

The over all property was very good. Big sized room. Lovely location, beautiful surroundings. Lots and lots of peacocks offering a wonderful sight as well as lots of photo taking opportunities. However, the bathroom and its fittings were outdated and badly need renovation.

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.

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.
