Stayed at The Gate for 2 nights and had a lovely stay. The room was spotlessly clean, the facilities were great and it was 5 minutes walk from the station. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to London!

Great hotel, nice modern and spacious. The reason for no 5* was the breakfast, only hot food was beans and eggs. For the price I would have expected more options, maybe some cold meats or traditional breakfast items.
Barring that, great stay

Our stay at The Gate of London was great. The staff was beyond courteous. The room was clean and had a wonderful view from the window.
Loved the amenities as the walk in bath, the kitchenette and most of all the 24 hour lounge.
