Staff was great! Washer/dryer combo offered in some rooms, but be careful damaged my clothing even on low heat. Small rooms, barely enough room to pass by the bed. There was a lot of hair that was not mine in my room, maybe from the cleaning staff.

We had a free upgrade, which was a lovely surprise! The location was perfect as we were mainly doing things around Shoreditch and Spitalfields, which are both walking distance. We were also able to walking easily to Borough Market with various things to do on the way! The hotel staff were amazing, really friendly and welcoming. The room was brilliant, clean and had everything we needed in it.

We loved staying here but.. lower score for cleaning in bathroom just needed a more detailed clean. I was unsure how to use the electric hob so instructions would have been useful. A few more kitchen items would be good such a baking tray , different sizes cups, items to wash plates etc. I wasn't expecting to buy washing up liquid, dish cloth etc. Absolutely brilliant location, the breakfast was outstanding and the staff were really attentive. The beds were also very comfortable..perhaps a bathroom shelf would be good. Overall a brilliant stay and would without a doubt stay here again.

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.
