Here are some of the reasons why our guests keep choosing The Gate to make the most of their stay in London: 

Friendly Staff

Whether you’re staying for one night or 6 months, you can count on excellent service, always delivered with a smile.  

We’re thrilled to have brought together such a friendly and efficient group of people who really understand hospitality, and we love to see so many reviews from past guests that praise our team members, both individually and collectively. 

Some of our past guests have said: 

“The staff were very lovely with me during check in and throughout my stay at the hotel. They helped us feel welcome and were very kind. I will come back and recommend others to come enjoy an experience here. ¨ 

“This hotel, by far, has been one of the best experiences I've had. All the staff were incredibly pleasant and kind.” 

Feels like home, not a hotel

Our guests love the modern rooms, members lounge, terrace, and 24-hour gym at The Gate. These features have all been carefully designed to combine a luxury service and boutique feel.  

Some of our past guests have said: 

“It’s my go-to hotel every time I visit London. Rooms are modern and clean - bed very comfortable. I would definitely recommend. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Also, the gym is solid - they have nice and new equipment including a peloton. 
Also, if like me, you’re a working nomad, they have a nice lounge area on the 5th floor that is a comfortable working space.” 

“I stayed in a beautiful superior studio apartment with amazing city views. The interior is absolutely stunning, with mid-century modern beautiful furniture, every little detail is done to the very best. Initially I was just going to stay there for a month, but it was so good, I ended up staying there for 6 months. The communal areas are great and you have the rooftop terrace with cool views.”  

Great location and views

A short stroll from Aldgate East tube station, The Gate is located at the gateway to the City and is surrounded by exciting dining and entertainment options. 

Our guests have said: 

“Overall, I’d say the stay was great, it’s close enough to central London that you can walk, but also just outside that you can kind of experience a different type of London where people actually live.” 

“My girlfriend and I stayed for a couple weeks here and we absolutely loved it. It’s close to the station, about 2 min walk, you can’t miss it. There’s plenty of places to eat around the area and if nothing fancies you, St. Paul’s is about 15-20 min walk away, 25-30 to borough market with more options.”
