RECENT REVIEW
“Stayed here as a means to escape by busy home and focus on some work. The space and room was amazing; location was 2 minutes from Train station and restaurants; the hotel also had a terrace and breakfast area where you can relax and do some work.”
RECENT REVIEW
“I enjoyed the location as it was near many tourist attractions and had easy access to public transport. The rooms were clean and spacious with comfortable beds. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.”
RECENT REVIEW
“Very clean well maintained chic hotel. Friendly helpful staff. Free tea, coffee and soft drinks all day. Bed really comfy. Great location near to the financial district, and numerous restaurants, bars and pubs. It’s been in operation for about 4 years but throughout looks brand new. Really difficult to find fault with this place. Aldgate tube 5 minutes walk, but lots to do and see on foot.”
The Gateway to the City
The Gate London City is located at the gateway to the City and within a short walking distance of London's most creative and vibrant areas of Shoreditch, Hoxton and Hackney, all alive with street art, independent restaurants and great bars.
