This was once a Taj Group Hotel....not sure if it still is. Let me try a put this in a coupla sentences. Never stay here. They charge 5 star rate and have a lousy hotel. It's old, worn out and has a stale, mouldy feel. I would not care to rate this place.

We immensely enjoyed our stay at The gateway Hotel Calicut because the service quality reached outstanding levels. Everyone was so helpful, courteous, polite and accommodating. Food was a major highlight as the spreads for breakfast and dinner were very elaborate and the taste was exhilarating. Rooms are dated but clean and well maintained.

We stayed here for four nights in February, 2013 and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved the room, the shower was really nice - we read some of the previous reviews and someone said it lacked power; it was totally untrue in our case - ours was almost playing the role of some hydromassage tool. The bed was extremely... More

You will love the interiors and service of The Gateway at Calicut. Location is also prime - very close to city, beach and airport. Keralite food that they serve is extremely delicious. Lovely hotel to stay at.

This was our first introduction to Kerala. Calicut isn't the most interesting city, but the beach is interesting, the people are without exception charming and it was a good jumping off point with good connections to the Gulf. The Taj Gateway was comfortable, well-appointed and conveniently located for the center of town. It was about 40 minutes form the airport.... More
