Sanchi is a very small town about thirty miles from Bhopal. Bhopal has a lot of hotels. Sanchi doesn't. The Gateway Retreat is a gem. The Gateway has a garden property with cozy cabins sprinkled around. It is all very cute. The staff could not have been more helpful. They even made some calls and reserved a room for me... More

Could not believe that a government-run Resort could be this good...Prices are slightly high...We stayed in cottage with small garden and personal outdoor eating area. Food in restaurant is good. Service is very slow though...They have a swimming Pool too......

We stayed in Gateway Retreat in Sanchi for one night in two cottages. The rooms were quite clean, but the bathrooms could be much better looked after, as they were quite dirty and filled with an overwhelming smell of naphthalene. The whole complex felt a little bit deserted and run down, but was incomparably better than another mp tourism place... More

1st of all I could not believe that a MP tourism Govt owned Hotel could be this well maintained. The Hotel had rooms as well as cottages with good resort type furnishings. The Hotel had a swimming pool and steam and sauna. In case you forget your swimming trunks, the Hotel can provide you with the same at nominal cost.... More

Stayed in cottage with small garden and personal outdoor eating area. The staff were very helpful. The decor was a bit dated and eclectic though everything worked well. Very efficient and reasonably priced overnight laundry service. Food in restaurant is good. Excellent location and well run though the whole place could do with some refurbishment and the windows need to... More

The place is more like a resort than a hotel. It has a very pleasant garden, terrace, swimming pool and the rooms are scattered in a kind of small park. Some villa type rooms are also available nd then you get your own garden space. We stayed in a family room, which are a super good deal comparing to the... More
