We went to the gateway hotel gir forest in April for 3 days and must say that we had a great experience out there. The entire staff including the chef (as we wanted to eat something different he obliged us) was very helpful. Location wise it's very near the for forest office which is a plus as for the permits...

This place is just next to Sinh Sadan where everybody needs to go to to get the permit to enter the forrest. In that way it is very strategically located. The rooms are ok. The room where we stayed, seemed to have a design flaw with the toilet, any time one takes shower and water will run to all the... More

We took a time out at this hotel after the 09 o'clock safari, the restaurant is nice and tastefully done up with a huge outside sitting area where you feel you are still inside the forest, a quite and serene place. The swimming pool is nice and clean, the costumes can be rented and pool can be enjoyed at very... More

The best part about this place is the location. It sits right next to the 'Sinh Sadan' from where you start your safaris. The property is beautiful but rather small. The staff is courteous and always helpful. The food is mediocre. Specially breakfast is a big let down. The views from the rooms is good. The pool is small but... More

We spent 3 nights at this property and had a wonderful time. The staff was wonderful. Always pleasant, smiling and when not very busy, they would happily chat with us about sightings and wildlife. Their passion for Gir and its wildlife is remarkable. The Gateway is right next to the booking office for safaris. So it has the minimum travel... More

Starting with the plus points.... The room & beds were very comfortable, with a fantastic view from the balcony. The grounds are lovely for a walk, especially along the river bank. The pool is a bit on the chilly side, but very clean & well maintained. The staff ( on the whole ) are quite pleasant. On the downside... The... More

Had excellent sightings of lions and leopards during our trip....special mention to the chef who took personal care of us and to the lodge manager who played the gracious host to perfection. Will...

I had gone with my family for visiting the Gir sanctuary , and after endless hours of figuring out where to stay, settled on the Gateway. Reasons were good reviews, proximity to the sanctuary and being a taj regular over the years. Pros- - Proximity to the sanctuary. Permits are granted right next door. Knowledgeable guides are a great plus.... More

This is a very good standard hotel, recently refurbished, with very clean and comfortable rooms. It has an excellent pool, and is a very good base to visit the Sasan Gir National Park and Reserve, for its Asiatic lions, Leopards, Nilgai, Sambur, Spotted Deer and its varied birds. It was an unexpectedly good find, in the area. The restaurant was... More
