When we first arrived in Coonoor in 2009, we stayed at the Taj Gateway for a week.It is located in the Upper Coonoor in a very charming wooded area.The service was superb. Even though we just walked in they gave us an upgrade to a better facility. All the staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was superb everyday... More

Visited Taj Gateway Coonoor with the family in the first week of June 2013. Having read rave reviews of the property on Tripadvisor, we were a bit skeptical, as many of the comments, we felt, went overboard in praising the hotel and its facilities. However, we can now say.....the comments are all true and this indeed is an amazing property,... More

Stayed here in Feb 2013 for a couple of days on a road trip down south with my husband. Excellent location. Much better than Ooty, which is too crowded and touristy. Beautiful scenic property. Excellent service. Very relaxing atmosphere. Huge spacious rooms, very old world cosy cottage feel. Do visit the nearby Highland's tea estate/factory. Ask the reception desk for... More

We had stayed at the Taj Coonoor about 12 years ago and went back this May with our kids for a short break. The place has retained its charm over the years , especially the white cottages and rooms and just the absolutely beautiful gardens and canopy of bougainvillaea makes the place worth staying. The location of the hotel being... More

Stayed in Coonoor Gateway for 2 nights (23rd & 24th May) with my family. It was an amazing experience worth every penny. The Taj hospitality is in a different league altogether. To narrate one, we were kind of late for check-in as we were driving from Bangalore and due to heavy traffic in Ooty-Coonoor highway we were getting very late.... More

Beautiful place, well maintained property, lot of space for kids and family to play and enjoy. 150+ years old property and off course TAJ legacy of customer service was awesome. Staff was highly professional and ready to help always, no communication problem, most was the staff was trained to interact with guests. Food was high quality and very very good.... More

We stayed there recently and it was an amazing experience. This place would remind you of a English cottage Inn as this was apparently a school which was renovated, rather tastefully, by Taj. There are plenty of such places in Ooty/Coonoor but what made the difference is the service. The entire team was fantastic and in particular the guys at... More

We stayed here during May 2013. The property is beautifully located in the nature. This is almost a 150 years old property and still maintains that old world charm. We were greeted with a very warm welcome and all the garland and fanfare. The staff was extremely warm, cordial, courteous and welcoming. Many of the times we felt the staff... More

It was in beginning of March 2013, that we decided to take a break from Bangalore and I would say we would never regret our decision to stay at this heritage property instead of staying at Ooty. Place is near to the city centre, still quiet and peaceful. It took us a few minutes to locate the place, but once... More
