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.

The bed was not as clean as it should have been. Dust balls and other lint that made it seem like it was not recently cleaned. Lights in bathroom didn’t work so took a shower in the dark. On the last evening, there was a loud buzzing sound all night. I slept 2 hours and then boarded a 9 hour flight. Liked the facilities but disappointed the room didn’t seem to be checked for things like lights just not working.

Sheets/pillows on the bed smelled horrible, like they'd been sweated on and used. No real room cleaning, even on request. Weird shower that gets entire bathroom floor wet. Quite noisy from traffic in the area. We got a note on the second day that water would be unavailable all day on our third day.. first time I have ever been told in a hotel that water is not available! Staff were nice. Concept is nice, and the tea/coffee is a nice perk.
