Once you have completed your booking and received your confirmation, you enter into a contract with The Gate London City on our stated Booking Terms and Conditions, unless otherwise agreed between you and The Gate London City in writing.
If you make a booking Online, you will be taken to a confirmation screen that has a summary of your booking, including your booking reference number and the booking conditions made up of the apartment's payment terms, cancellation policy, and arrival and departure procedure. You will also receive a full confirmation email re-iterating this shortly after making your booking,
4.2
Restrictions may apply in certain locations including, but not limited to, a minimum night stay and age restrictions; but we’ll tell you about any restrictions at the time of booking (where applicable). We reserve the right to refuse any booking at any time.
4.3
All guest names and contact telephone numbers are required at the time of booking, including whether guests are adults or minors.
4.4
Upon check-in, guests are required to show the credit or debit card that was used to pay for the booking and a valid photo ID, such as passport or driving licence, to go with it.
4.5
Please check the details and fine print on both your booking confirmation and invoice as soon as you receive them. If you notice something isn’t quite right, or you have a question, please let us know immediately. We can’t accept liability if we aren’t notified of any inaccuracy in your documentation. If there is an error in the confirmation or invoice, we will correct it within 7 days of becoming aware of the error or, if your arrival date is within 7 days of booking, no later than 24 hours before your arrival date.
4.6 Special requests
We want to make your stay with us a special one, so we’ll do everything we can to help guests with special requirements or requests. If you have a special requirement, please let us know when you book (in writing) so we can help you choose the most suitable apartment to meet your needs. We’ll do our best to meet any reasonable requests, but no guarantees can be given that any request will be met. Conditional bookings cannot be accepted i.e. any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request.
4.7 Group Bookings
Special conditions might apply, and we’ll let you know at the time of booking. Cancellation charges and notice periods may differ to those in clause 7.3 and will be advised at the time of request.
5 Payment
5.1 General payment terms
Your full payment is required at the time of booking, unless otherwise agreed. If your payment doesn’t get to us before the required time, we reserve the right to suspend or cancel your booking. Any late payment will result in interest being charged at 4% above the Bank of England’s base rate for the period concerned.
Please note we are a cashless property
All payments should be made in Pounds Sterling by credit or debit card. We don’t charge transaction fees on credit or debit card payments.
Your credit card details must match the relevant security checks, and we’ll ask you to show the credit/debit card that was used at the time of the booking along with a valid photo ID.
We will also accept bank transfers, and these details can be provided upon request.
We’ll always do our best to return money, but any accounts that have a credit balance for a year or more will be retained and removed from the account.
If you have a commission invoice, please submit it to reservations@thegate-london.com within 6 months of the departure date. Unfortunately we will reject Invoices not received within this time.
Our Online payment policy is clearly displayed on our website at the time of booking on the confirmation page, and it may also be provided in your confirmation email. Secure payment is to be made via credit or debit card on www.thegate-london.com.
For corporate bookers with agreed credit terms, payment can be made by a company cheque that is payable to Place Apart Limited or by bank transfer: (bank details are available on request) at the point of making the booking Online.
5.2 Security deposits
We know that sometimes things happen. That’s what security deposits are for. A security deposit that covers “additional charges“ (see clause 15), including breakages, damages, extra cleaning, and further accommodation charges incurred during your stay, may be taken and you will be advised whether this is payable. We will let you know whether a security deposit is required at the time of booking.
5.3 Payment of additional charges
Valid credit or debit card details must be supplied at the time of booking and/or upon arrival at the apartments to cover any potential “additional charges” (see clause 15). If we need to, we will deduct these charges from any security deposit held or from a debit / credit card supplied and any balance on the security deposit will be refunded. We will send you a written statement of the “additional charges” so you know what you were charged for. In the event that payment under a debit / credit card is declined, or no card details are provided, we reserve the right to invoice the booker or guest direct for these charges.
6 Pricing
The rates that we advertise are (to the best of our knowledge) correct at the date of publication. However, we reserve the right to occasionally change any rates without notice. Before the booking being confirmed, the quoted rates are based upon the rates prevailing at the time but are subject to change. Once your booking has been confirmed, we will not change the rate quoted unless you amend the booking or our cost of supplying the accommodation changes as a result of tax changes or currency fluctuations beyond our control. VAT is charged at the rate in force at the time of booking.
When you make a reservation or booking Online, the rate you see on your search results page at the time of booking is the rate we apply and confirm with you.
Rates are per apartment, not per person and include VAT unless otherwise stated.
6.1 Using promotional codes
Any valid promotional codes must be entered when a booking is being made. This is done by entering the code into the 'Add Preferred Code' box on the booking page. Promotional codes may be subject to length of stay and are only valid on flexible rate bookings. The Gate London City reserves the right to withdraw or amend such offers at its sole discretion.
7 Changes by the guest
Any requests for changes, extensions, and cancellations must be made in writing, otherwise you will be liable to pay the full amount of the booking.
We will do our best to make any requested change to details of your confirmed booking, subject to our applicable cancellation and modification policy. Changes that will amend the arrival date to be later than the original date confirmed will be treated as a cancellation under Clause 7.3 below.
7.1 Changes
All changes of date are subject to availability. The original booking will be reinstated if any change is rejected. Once in-house, any changes to the departure date that result in a reduction in the length of stay will be subject to a rate change and cancelation and early departure policy.
7.2 Extensions
If you want to extend your stay with us, please give us as much notice as possible so we can facilitate your request. All extensions are subject to availability and rate change.
Where notice to extend a stay has been given, we reserve the right to take all additional payments and charges from any credit / debit card that was used to make the original booking, or an invoice for the extended period will be sent to your billing address and payment must be made by return.
You will be charged for any UNAUTHORISED occupancy beyond dates approved by us at a charge of twice (2x) the daily, weekly or monthly rates then in effect for such holdover period.
7.3 Early departures and cancellations
The Gate London City reserves the right to treat a postponed arrival, early departure or reduction in the number of nights or apartments booked as a cancellation. Because of this, apartments may be re-let and cancellation charges depending on applicable cancelation policy will apply. If a guest doesn’t arrive for their booking, it will be treated as a cancellation and they will not be entitled to any refunds.
Transaction fees are not refundable in the event of a cancellation.
The Gate London City’s cancellation policy and corresponding cancellation charges may vary depending upon the rate type selected. For example, if you book a room that is stated to be “non-refundable” the standard cancellation charges will not apply and no refund will be available. Details of the relevant cancellation policy will be provided at the time of booking.
Our standard cancellation charges relate to the date prior to arrival when we are notified of the cancellation and will determine the cancellation charges incurred according to the scale below.
1-7 nights
Free cancellation up until 24 hours prior to 3pm on the day of your planned arrival.
The booking becomes non-refundable after the 24 hour period.
8-28 nights
Free cancellation up until 14 days prior to arrival date.
After such notice period, a minimum of 7 nights’ accommodation charge applies and the booking may become non-refundable depending on when we receive notice of cancellation.
29+ nights
Free cancellation up until 21 days prior to arrival date.
After such notice period, a minimum of 14 nights’ accommodation charge apply and the booking may become non-refundable depending on when we receive notice of cancellation. These notice periods also apply to early departure, postponed arrival, or reduction in the number of minimum night’s stay.
For Group Bookings, the minimum notice period and the cancellation charge per apartment, regardless of length of stay, is the same as for stays of 29+ nights.
8 Changes by The Gate London City
We don’t expect to have to make any changes to your booking, but sometimes bookings have to be changed, cancelled, or errors in information or other details need to be corrected and we reserve the right to do so. If this happens, we will contact you by telephone or email where reasonably possible.
If a change has to be made or your booking has to be cancelled we will, if possible, offer you an alternative apartment of similar type and standard in a similar location for the same period. If the alternative apartment is advertised at a lower price, we will refund the price difference.
However, if the alternative apartment is at a higher price the new price will be payable. If you do not wish to accept a change or any alternative apartment offered or we cannot offer you a suitable alternative apartment, you may be entitled to cancel your booking and receive a refund.
You should tell us as soon as possible whether you wish to accept any change or alternative apartment offered, or if you would like a refund.
9 Insurance
We are not responsible for the theft and/or damage of your personal belongings during your stay in any apartment booked. We recommend that you make sure you have appropriate insurances in place. In addition, we also recommend that you have appropriate travel insurance to cover cancellation and medical expenses.

12 Your accommodation
All apartments are occupied as serviced apartments and are only to be used as temporary or holiday accommodation for you, or your organisation. They are not for use as the principal, additional home, or residence of guests; you will not be entitled to a tenancy or an assured shorthold or assured tenancy. No relationship of landlord and tenant is created, and no statutory security of tenure exists now or when the period of occupation ends. If you or any member of your party fails to vacate at the end of the period you will be charged the appropriate accommodation charges for the continued period of occupation. No persons other than the guests have the right to use the apartment.
These conditions constitute an excluded agreement under S(3A)(7)(a)of the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 (as amended) and cannot be construed as an assured tenancy under the Housing Act 1988 (as amended). We cannot guarantee an exact apartment number prior to arrival. The maximum guests in an apartment is determined by the number of beds in the apartment. If the maximum number is exceeded then we may refuse access to the accommodation and/or reserve the right to charge for additional apartments.
12.1 Arriving and departing
The arrival and departure policy will be provided at the time of booking and will be stated on the confirmation email. Arrival or late departure may be available for an additional charge, but cannot be guaranteed unless booked from the night before arrival or for the night after departure.
The procedure for departure will be confirmed on arrival.
12.2 Check in
Key collection details will be provided to you at the 24h reception desks upon arrival. It is essential that you will have a valid government recognised photo ID and valid credit card in your name with you on your arrival.
13 Facilities and services
13.1 Cleaning
We provide a light cleaning service and full weekly housekeeping service for stays of 7 nights or more. We’ll tell you which day your cleaning is scheduled for on your arrival. If the apartment is left in an excessively dirty condition, an extra cleaning charge may be incurred. Charges may be made for any damage to the apartment or furnishings.
Light cleaning service does not include linen change. Weekly full housekeeping includes linen/towel change and general cleaning.
13.2 Maintenance
Routine maintenance is carried out regularly by our Management Team; however, we may occasionally need access to your apartment to carry out essential maintenance. We will normally give you 24 hours notice, except in the event of an emergency (during which we would require immediate access).
13.3 Telephone usage
Where telephones are provided in apartments, guests are responsible for any call charges that they incur during their stay. In some cases, the call charges are provided by a third party supplier and guests are responsible for setting up an account with the provider directly. Where applicable, information is provided in the guest information folder in the apartment.
13.4 Internet / Wi-Fi access
High-speed WIFI internet is available free of charge throughout every area of the Property. Information about Internet access will be provided at the time of booking and on arrival. Internet access is subject to the The Gate London City’s acceptable use policy. At peak times, the bandwidth available for connection to the Internet may be under pressure due to the number of people connecting to the internet, both internally and externally. The Gate London City recommends that activities requiring increased bandwidth such as Skype or Movie/TV streaming is limited.
A support service is available to help guests who are having trouble connecting to the internet. But, if in The Gate London City’s opinion, the fault is deemed to be with the guest’s equipment, then no support can be provided. Guests must not interfere, move, or disconnect any equipment relating to the provision of Internet access and must not use the connection for any illegal or immoral purpose (including but not limited to file sharing). We reserve the right to pass on any record to the authorities should we be made aware of any such use.

Guests will be given a key card to access the apartment. Additional sets can be provided on request. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of a key card at all times and that they are returned at the end of your stay.

Where we are made aware of such failure or interruption we will do our best to rectify the services within a reasonable period of time at our apartments.

We expect the apartments to be left in a reasonable state of cleanliness and order on departure.
