It was my first time staying at the Gate and I got the warmest welcome from Mohammad. He checked me in and offered me a complimentary upgrade, which honestly made my day. The hotel itself was lovely and clean, room was stunningly decorated and equipped with everything you could need for a super comfortable stay. Lots of wardrobe space for those planning a longer stay. The property is also a 5 minute walk away from the tube station so it’s very accessible and there’s lots of shops within walking distance. Overall I truly enjoyed my stay here and I will definitely be booking more stays in the future.

Our reservation said 2 king beds but we had 2 queen beds. There was no telephone in the room so you had to remember what you needed to ask when you went through the lobby. They did not keep to the cleaning schedule of every 3 days.
