Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Gate London City from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the hotel's location, with easy access to the underground and many restaurants nearby, and some were delighted by the breathtaking views from higher floors, even as high as the 20th floor. The modern, clean rooms offer amenities like Smart TVs, and the bathrooms impress with features like waterfall showerheads. While most find the rooms comfortable, a few guests have noted that what is advertised as an extra-large double bed felt more like a standard double, which was not their expectation. Guests also appreciate extras like complimentary drinks and snacks, and the convenience of having a coffee machine in the room.

great locationsmall bedsewage smell

The location was GREAT. It was a short walk from Aldgate East station.

I found the experience disappointing. The extra large double bed I booked was a normal size. The reception claimed this IS what they consider extra large. the kitchen items weren't cleaned well. The bathroom REEKED of sewage each morning because of a missing plug in the sink.

Modern and Convenient Stay

underground stationsmooth check-incleaning essentialsrude staff

The location is amazing , very close to the underground station, and it felt safe to walk around. The lobby had a nice smell, a real plus when checking in or sitting for coffee. The check-in process was very smooth. The room was perfect and quite clean. I appreciated finding cleaning essentials like pods, liquids, and a sponge for the washing machine and dishwasher.

One staff member was rude. They lectured my husband when we tried to borrow an adaptor to charge his phone. They said it is every traveler's obligation to have one and that the hotel does not sell or lend adaptors. This was odd because we had successfully borrowed one the night before from a much nicer staff member.

The hotel provides a lounge on the fifth floor with complimentary tea, coffee, and soft drinks. The lounge offered a comfortable atmosphere to unwind or have conversations with fellow travellers. Art features enhanced the hotel's overall aesthetic appeal.

Excellent Stay Near the Tube

The location offered easy access to the underground (very convenient for exploring). The room featured nice lighting options, a sink with cupboard space, and a decent fridge. The functional TV allowed us to cast content from our phones to streaming services.

The room cleaning was only done twice during my seven-night stay.
