Reviews of The Gate London City
Michelle Chan
I like this aparthotel Gave service only 5 stars because I didn't use much of their service. I like that they change the towels and remove the rubbish every 3 days, eventhough I will check out the next day. Love the quality and varieties of their bathroom amenities. Shower, Shampoo, Conditioner, body moisturiser, hand wash. Hate hotels just giving shampoo and shower gel. Need more power point...
Adrian Cireasa
This hotel is great! Close to the tube, very clean and it looks great. The staff is friendly and i am greatful for the help I got from Victoria and Mohammad Hassan. Thanks to them I got some issue solced very quickly! There is only one thing I would like to see improved: the options for a warm breakfast are rather limited.

We had a very warm welcome and farewell from Samina and Gosia at reception and all other staff we met were very friendly as well. The hotel itself is well placed with several transport hubs close by, making travel throughout London easy. We had an Aldgate Appartment, which was spacious, clean, well equipped and with a comfy bed. The views from our romm were great as well. If you are used to London...
Claire Bateman
The room was spotless, and I really appreciated being up on the 16th floor! It provided fabulous general city skyline views (not iconic buildings). The building was secure (room key needed in the lifts, etc). The room facilities were great, soft linens and shower room toiletries were good quality. I had to request an alternative duvet as the first was very thin and I'd been cold (unable to sleep) ...
Iván García Briones
Great place. Big, clean, and comfortable rooms. Very nice facilities. Very comfortable bed, great mini kitchen, and well-maintained bathrooms. Very good breakfast (totally recommended). Nice staff and great common areas (including a lounge with free coffee or tea, open 24/7). We will definitely come back.
