Hotel is a great base. Easy walking distance to temple bars. Area a bit rough especially the entrance. We had a room at the back of the hotel and didn’t notice much noise from the club and the bars next door. Bed clean and a hot shower is all we needed. The price is expensive for where it’s situated however everywhere in Dublin is expensive. Fresh towels daily / hairdryer and iron in the room/ hand gel and shower gel in the bathroom so cannot really complain.

First.. stretchy place. Two.. no lift/elevator. Three.. above a bar so it's extremely noisy, I was not able to sleep at all! Constant noise throughout the entire night. Four.. extremely outdated. The amount we paid for this place is ridiculous! Almost $200! No way I would ever stay here. Spend the extra money and stay in the place behind this place called academy plaza. So much better!!! I would never stay in this place alone

it looks nothing like the pictures and it’s super sketchy. that’s the street it’s on and there was someone on something sitting right outside. you also have to click a button to be let in so you’re just standing outside. do not recommend at all. also only booked a double room and my room had 3 beds in it.

Poor Hotel

This hotel is desperately in need of updating. My bedroom was small, not very clean and felt like a relic from the 1970's. The window could open fully, with no security restraint, posing a serious hazard to any guest bringing a young child.

I had two stays at Gate Hotel the first night the room was so hot I had to wet a towel over my legs to get to sleep. I asked not to be put in that room on my return trip but it seems it's a first in first served so I asked for another room. It was a floor up and you could here the garden Bar, but as I grow up opposite a pub this didn't worry me. It was much cooler. Clean room and helpful staff.
