Good location, super close to the Aldgate East tube station but sometimes the opening to it was closed in the morning so we had to walk further. Not the hotel's fault but that was so annoying. The hotel is clean and new.

Perfect pad for London break.
We wanted to be in London and to be in easy access of all ours events we were attending. I considered staying close to London Bridge but for the price I paid at The Gate I would have got just a bedroom and shower. The Gate offers a minute walk to Aldgate East Station with a wide variety of restaurants in short walking distance. The best part is we had a whole apartment with views of London. We chose the Penthouse and felt we got a bargain. Separate lounge to the bedroom with a dining table for four. The kitchen was compact but tick almost all the boxes. There was no toaster so we used the oven, problem solved. There was a washing machine and dishwasher but for a three night stay was not needed. The bathroom was filled with top quality shampoo and conditioner too. In the fifth floor you have access to 24hr hot and cold drinks if you should need and plenty of seating to relax if you want to be out of your room. There was even an outdoor section with a bbq that my husband saw. All in all I would happily visit this hotel again as it was convenient to access to London and was spacious for the money. The reception staff were also fabulous and friendly.

Amazing place to stay while in London! So close to the Algate East underground station, making accessing the tube very easy. Walking distance to Tower Bridge and Tower of London, as well as many other attractions. Hotel itself is phenomenal. So clean, delicious lounge hot and cold beverages, and exceptional service. The room was the perfect size and had everything we needed. Highly recommend and would stay again!

Great location, view, and room. Loved having the free drinks on the 5th floor. Also enjoyed using the outdoor terrace. Real plants in the lobby and bamboo (I think) cards really are a nice touch. Breakfast was served in the same area that everything else is free so I grabbed some thinking that it was also free.. that was a bit confusing, and staff acted as if I was trying to steal a five pound meal. Need more signs and better communication. Other than that, everything was lovely.

On the website, it says this hotel is pet-friendly and even has pet packages. Knowing that this is a 4-star hotel according to Google, not having any pet bowls, pet beds, or extras for pets is very disappointing. Additionally, they have not responded to my email after booking asking if they could arrange anything since our stay is a birthday gift. Even a small card, chocolate, or just a ‘Happy Birthday’ would be appreciated. Compared to other 3/4-star hotels we’ve stayed at, which offered pet bowls, discounts, free drinks, and chocolates for special occasions, this is quite surprising. Aside from that, the room looks good, with a mixture of modern and vintage-style furniture. The lady who welcomed us and also checked us out was lovely; I believe her name is Givani.

We loved the lounge and the room was good. The only knock I have is the bathroom. It is sleek as is the rest of the facility, but function has been sacrificed. It is a large wet bath. The entire floor gets wet with a shower so no socks the rest of the night and there is no counter space in the bathroom.
