“Curate's egg of a hotel, nearly 5 stars, but not quite.”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

We arrived late, but still had to wait for our room to be sorted out, not the best start when you've just had a 20 hour journey. The room itself was faultless, private garden, big bathroom, air conditioning and a fridge. Bed was comfy and towels changed daily. Swimming pool was excellent, perfectly maintained with plenty of sun beds and... More

“Sympathetic hotel near the beach”

Reviewed 11 April 2013

After we ran away screaming from our initial hotel The Oceano, we sighed with relief after choosing the Taj Gateway. It has a lovely pool and gardens, great views, and the beach is easily accessed. The rooms in the old part are outdated, but the rooms in the new parts are great! The food was ok, nothing special, but we... More

“Best hotel in Varkala”

Reviewed 10 April 2013

Stayed here in Nov 2011. There appeared to be limited choice for a luxury hotel in Varkala, so the choice was easy to stay here. Was a bit concerned before arriving, but there was no need. The staff at the hotel were always happy to help, the pool was great and the view was nice from there. The grounds of... More

“A little gem in Varkala”

Reviewed 19 March 2013

I was almost pleased to see speed bumps have arrived in Kerala as we entered Varkala folllowing our one hour transfer from the airport in the dark. Our driver narrowly missed an elephant and various other forms of transportation on the hair raising journey to the Gateway hotel. Because of our early morning arrival we had booked an extra night...

“A safe, predictable, packagey chain hotel”

Reviewed 11 March 2013

The Gateway Hotel, by the five-star Taj chain, is a funny place in Varkala. In a laid-back, hippy-trippy little beach town like Varkala, the charm would really seem to be in either backpacking it on the north cliff or--if you desire to drop more bread on the venture--in a small, family-run luxury yoga-centric B&B. However, if you're set on Varkala... More
