Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We family of two were on a short holiday trip to Vizag for couple of nights. Decided to stay at Gateway Beach. Well good decision ! Its on the beach road which is an attraction, just crossing the main road across the hotel , you can get to the beach in few minutes. Some of the key address destinations in city are on same road including good eateries. The hotel has decent rooms, good food. Would not call the buffet we had as super exciting, but good. Small but beautiful lawn and clean swimming pool. The hotel terrace area next to restaurant is a good place to hang out specially early morning and evening. I would say given the price range this is a good place for holiday stay or a business stay, especially if you don't want to commute much away from hotel if on holiday !!

This is undoubtedly one of the best hotels out there. More than Novotel, I feel this is totally worth the stay. Why this is superior among all? every time when we book hotel here, the hospitality and the service they give is an amazing. Rooms are clean and neat. Of course the infrastructure is little old, which is a little compromising thing but the service and the staff behaviour is too good. We had recently made our birthday event and the kind of support we got from the hotel staff is one of the best. Just to start, when we want to make our wonderful event in the Godavari Deck, which has beautiful scenery, we called hotel staff and we are assigned with people Vindhya, Venkat and Anand. They three gave us provided all the details required for the event and followed up for 1 month continuously clearing all of our doubts. A big event, in hotel like Taj is always makes you nervousness because of too many uncertain factors. But Big shout out their staff Vindhya, Venkat and Anandh they answered our queries through calls, what's app communications and gave us every ease of possibility and provided details which made our choice easier Next comes big event day, on that day the Catering service is an amazing and every one from the staff started giving their best output in terms of patiently serving the food to the guests. I was bit tensed about whether the food will be enough for the all guests but there Malleswararao is the one person understood my concern and he told me not to get tensed as their team is ready to serve any number of guests. That one word made my tension free and I started focusing on other things. Rambabu and Restaurant Manager Roy both were so nice in talking to us in every step of the process and made our event super smooth and joyful. Not to forget, from bellboy to house keeping and staff in reception are so friendly and made our stay much beautiful. I totally recommend anyone to have this kind of hospitality and make your events better with great experience if you don't have any issues with little old infrastructure. I'm sure they are going to come back soon with great new infrastructure and that will make hotel more and more elegant and stands as best hotel in vizag

Food was excellent. Live music was excellent. Magic at table was awesome. Location at the Centre of the city and near to beach. Morning walk at beach is added advantage. Well maintained pool and gym. Nice and comfortable stay, smooth check in and check out.

Check-in Experience: My stay commenced with a lack of the customary warm welcome expected at check-in, setting a disappointing tone from the outset. Dining at Ming Garden: The dinner experience was unsatisfactory with several issues: The soup served was incorrect; I received Tong Yuan instead of the ordered Mushroom Garlic. The main course, Chilli Hakka Noodle, was excessively spicy. Despite requesting a non-spicy and crispy adaptation, the dish was neither less spicy nor crispy and failed to capture authentic flavors. Breakfast Service: I had informed the staff of my early departure due to a flight schedule, yet this was not taken into account with the urgency required. My order of Chola Bhatura was delayed to the extent that I had to leave without having breakfast. Voucher for Payment Issues: Upon check-in, I notified the front desk of my intent to use a voucher for payment and was instructed to present it at check-out. Contrary to this, I was informed during check-out that the voucher was inapplicable due to my booking at a member rate. The staff disregarded my explanation about the rate difference at the time of booking, which was significantly less than the rate difference I was being asked to pay to use the voucher. The lack of attentiveness and miscommunication regarding the voucher policy, coupled with the culinary and service shortfalls, made for a less-than-ideal experience. I would appreciate it if the concerns raised could be addressed and the necessary improvements made to ensure such instances do not recur for future guests.

The property is old and with renovation will be a great asset to the Taj group. I fondly recollect the time spent in the property between 2002 - 2005 when it was one of the fine properties in Vizag. I wish to see the old glory restored and hopefully stay there

Lovely sea view rooms. Luxurious feel and comfortable stay. Caring staff and clean surroundings. Worth it! We stayed in February of 2024 and enjoyed family time. Our evenings were spent by the RK Beach, which is accessible from the hotel by simply crossing on road by walk. Worth it!
