Hotels near CSI St. Paul's English Church, Mangalore

This was a Gateway hotel which is now upgraded to Vivanta. Its a small property with limited facilities. I have booked a package which includes room upgrade, discount on spa and food. Have used same package in previous trips on other Taj properties and it turned out to be good. Here in Mangalore, we did not get any upgrade not because of unavailability of room but because staff at reception not knowing about it. They asked me to show the confirmation mail saying so. Even after checking the mail, there was no effort to allocate premium room and insisted that the room they provided is also good. Beaches and most attractions (except temples) are far from this location. There are no activity except Swimming pool for kids which was disappointing. Food (veg) was let down and average at best. There is no Spa available which is one more reason to avoid package booking. Overall bit disappointed. It would be difficult to derive value for the amount you pay here for the stay.

Royal Plaza Suites, foremost, has a super location that is an arms throw away from major tourist sites and Malls in Mangalore city. Coupled with that, the spank cleanliness of the room, complete with all amenities like covered car parking, ironing board, fridge, kettle, free sauna, powerful AC right down to shoe shine was a real deal clincher, more so, considering it was reasonably priced. The staff were exceptionally courteous and, specifically, the security guards who were always available even at odd hours to guide you, into and out of the parking slot. For a small consideration, the security guard will even wash your dusty car. The complimentary breakfast buffet was stupendous. The room service from the vegetarian restaurant, Coconut Grove or the other non-veg restaurant, whose name escapes me at the moment, was quick and the food tasty. All in all, i wouldn't in the least bit hesitate to recommend this hotel enough to travelers. I am sure I will revisit it whenever i am back in Mangalore again Congratulations to the Management and Staff!! Please keep maintaining your high standards.

I had the pleasure of visiting Mangalore on the 17th of October 2023, where I was greeted with a warm welcome despite my late arrival at night after a 12-hours long journey. One of the first things that captured my attention was a stunning wall-to-wall mural behind the front office desk. This remarkable artwork vividly depicted the cultural heritage of Karnataka, featuring Kola performances, Kambala races, and other local traditions that have gained recent pan-India popularity thanks to the movie ”Kantara.” It served as a captivating introduction to the exciting experiences that awaited me during my stay. Let's talk about the accommodation. The rooms were tastefully appointed and impeccably clean. I particularly appreciated the Skylight Suites, which, while lacking a balcony, featured a beautifully decorated and spacious sitting area with a skylight adjacent to the main room. This clever design made the room feel more expansive. However, it's worth mentioning that the washrooms could benefit from better ventilation. In terms of dining, the food was satisfactory, but I would suggest diversifying the menu to include more vegetarian options to cater to a wider range of preferences. Now, let me highlight the standout feature of my stay – the in-house transportation services provided by the hotel. They operated with exceptional efficiency, boasting well-maintained and spotlessly clean vehicles. The chauffeurs were not only punctual but also displayed the utmost professionalism. I must give a special commendation to Mr. Balraj, who not only ensured our smooth transport to the temples we had planned to visit but also offered valuable insights into darshan durations. His willingness to take us to additional temples during our journeys, such as the Mariamman Temple in Mangalore, Rajarajeshwari Temple in Polali, Bappanadu Parameshwari Temple in Mulki, and Uchchila Maha Lakshmi on the way to Udupi (and possibly more that I can't recall at the moment) was truly exceptional. His knowledge of cultural immersion opportunities, especially during Navratris, was remarkable, and he even introduced us to experiences like the Yakshagana performance at Kadri Manjunatheswar. As my trip had a strong focus on pilgrimage, his insights into these sacred places were invaluable. His careful and considerate approach as a driver was exemplary. Not once did he engage in rash driving, even in the challenging and treacherous forested, mountainous routes that we encountered. Furthermore, Mr. Balraj's helpful nature shone brightly throughout our journey. With my elderly parents accompanying me, his assistance was greatly appreciated. He went above and beyond to ensure their comfort and well-being, offering his support at every turn. His unwavering dedication to both our safety and enjoyment of the trip made him an indispensable part of our experience. Mr. Balraj truly embodies the spirit of excellence in service. I must express my gratitude to Mr. Nilesh Nayak, the Front Office

Great hotel, with customer centric staff at all levels. Room quality is also very good. I have used this facility before & will continue doing so, whenever i visit mangalore in the future.

The location and in-room dining service of Goldfinch is very good. However, I didn't feel I got value for the money I paid. There was no Free WiFi and the cost of paid WiFi was quite ridiculous. Amenities like drinking water and even toilet paper were not restocked and had to be asked for. I wouldn't stay here again, especially since I can get these basic amenities without asking at cheaper hotels nearby.

The room i got was very small and had a huge bed which took up all the space in the room. There was barely any place to walk around the room or navigate. The utilities were clean and well maintained. But the hotel did not offer any room service for ordering food. We had to order through swiggy. The guests who took the adjoining room made a lot of noise while talking and kept banging the room door as they entered exited. The category of people staying in this hotel didn't meet my expectations.

Newly renovated, well furnished premium category hotel with reasonable pricing. Nice view from the hotel (highway view). Staffs are very cooperative and gentle. peaceful ambience. recommended for couples too.

The food at this restaurant is exceptional, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors in every dish. The menu offers a nice variety, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. Portions are generous, and presentation is impressive, making each meal a delight for both the palate and the eyes. Equally noteworthy is the staff. They are friendly, attentive, and professional, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. Service is efficient without feeling rushed, and the staff is always ready to offer recommendations or accommodate special requests. Overall, a fantastic dining experience marked by high-quality food and excellent customer service. Highly recommended. Special thanks to Mr Arjun, Ganesh and Pavitra for the services.
