We enjoyed the size of the rooms with kitchenette, sofa, nice bathroom and bedroom. We had a great view of the street below. Breakfast was good, but no hot choices other than a boiled egg. The area wasn't the best, but the underground was nearby so everything was acessible that way.

This place was generally a nice place and convenient and comfortable. We accidentally booked an accessible room and DO NOT book one of these! Bathroom completely floods ( entire floor) after 1 shower due to bad shower pan and slow drain. The front desk told us this is just to be expected and hotel was booked so we couldn’t switch rooms. Had to make a towel dam to keep the water from flooding.

After booking three rooms I got an email asking for £150 deposit for each and I was a bit concerned. I then got a check in email and it only worked for one of the rooms. I emailed the hotel via Expedia and asked if we would need entrance codes and would there be anyone there to take a deposit. I never received a reply. I was thinking oh no what have I done!!! However the place is close to the tube with a big reception / bar area and the chap who greeted us was incredibly helpful. The rooms were, whilst strange in their design very spacious and the bed and shower tip top. Breakfast was satisfactory and overall I found it a great stay. I will definitely book again next time in London.

The property is not bad and close to a train station. The problem was the hospitality, it gets a -10 from me. As a guest in your hotel I'm expected to be treated kindly and helped in all ways possible. That was not the case, very poorly hospitality this hotel has, not one day I entered the doors and received a Hello. One day my phone got stolen and I needed to communicate with my family in Puerto Rico to let them know something has happened. They helped 0, first the phone at the hotel wasn't making any calls to PR so I asked for any other solution they could give me and it was none. Im a problem solver so that for me was so unkind of the hotel staff. It was the worst feeling to be in a foreigner country without the help of the place that you are staying in. Just for that, my review is 0 and will never stay again.

An overnight city stop to visit family - made all the more comfortable by everyone at the Gate. Given the location the room was amazingly quiet - and Mohammed couldn’t have done more for us; thank you!

Solid property, great location
Our room had the capacity to host a family of three and use a kitchenette that includes an oven and hot plates. In terms of comfort, the convertible sofa bed was quite rough with a metal bar running right under the mattress in the middle. Our main issue was the eco-friendly water pressure. It got so low at times that rincing the nice, foamy shampoo and soap proved challenging.

Great stay especially for a citybreak stay in london, gorgeous views and spacious room with good facilities. Great location and very good access to transport links and other gems to visit in East London. However, the room I have been given did not have the nicest bathroom there was mo ventilation so felt stuffy and had an odd smell and no shower barrier so the whole bathroom floor would flood after showering. Breakfast is great.
