Average Stay
Food was bad, and there was no Wi-Fi the entire stay. The only good thing was the pool. Not worth the money.

An amazing Property. only ongoing renovation was a slight off point.
We had a very good time at Gateway Varkala and it’s located at the centre of Papnasam beach and Varkala cliff. Hopefully once the renovations are completed, it’ll be even better a place.

The Gateway of dissapointments
Unfortunately, my experience at the hotel was not as expected. Here are some of the issues I faced during my stay: I had specifically booked a room with a queen bed, but was provided with twin beds instead. The TV was not working properly, and despite attempts to use it, the issue remained unresolved. The tissue box was empty when I checked in, and it was only replaced upon request. The hot water facility was not up to the mark, making it inconvenient during my stay. These issues were disappointing and did not match the standards promised at the time of booking. I request you to kindly look into this matter and take necessary actions to ensure better experiences for future customers.

Review for Gateway, Varkala
Our stay at Gateway, Varkala was absolutely fantastic! The place is truly awesome — beautifully maintained, neat, and inviting. The staff members are exceptionally welcoming, always greeting us with a warm smile that made us feel right at home. What really stood out was their extra effort to make our experience special. They went above and beyond by decorating our room with balloons and cake to surprise Avyan on his birthday — such a thoughtful and memorable gesture! Overall, it was a lovely stay, and we enjoyed every moment thoroughly. A big thank you to the entire Gateway, Varkala team for their hospitality and kindness. Keep up the great work — you’ve certainly earned our appreciation! Looking forward to visiting again!

Pleasant Stay with Room for Small Improvements
Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. The people were warm and welcoming, the environment was lovely, the weather was perfect, the food was great, and the service was generally very good. We truly have no major complaints. That said, a few areas could be improved to enhance the guest experience even further: Fitness Facility – It would be great to have access to a basic fitness center or gym on the premises. Customer-Centric Mindset – While the staff were courteous, there’s room to empower them more. For instance, small gestures like serving a cup of tea just a few minutes outside the scheduled high-tea window can go a long way in delighting guests. Room Allocation Accuracy – I had booked a "Deluxe Twin Bed Room With Balcony" for my kids, but was assigned a room with a Queen bed instead. It’s a minor issue, but attention to such details would improve satisfaction. Check-in Process – During check-in, we were initially assigned rooms and then asked to move to different ones shortly after. It felt a bit disorganized and could be streamlined for a smoother arrival experience. Bathroom Privacy – The room had a glass panel separating the bedroom and bathroom, with only a curtain on the bedroom side for privacy. While this setup may suit couples, it could be uncomfortable in other scenarios. A more privacy-conscious design would be appreciated. Breakfast Variety – The breakfast spread felt limited in terms of variety. Offering a wider selection would better cater to different preferences and enhance the overall dining experience. Apart from these, everything else was truly enjoyable.
