Great location/stylish spaces and friendly staff
Loved the views, lounge, and terrace. Nice touches like quality shampoo and soup. Only downside was the mattress sliding a bit nearly spilled our coffee! Overall, a great stay and would happily return.

Great spot in Whitechapel!
Perfect spot for a longer stay. I was in town for three weeks for work and needed a kitchen and washer/dryer. The Gate was a 20 minute walk from my office but a five minute walk to the nearest Tube station which came in handy often. A great macro market across the street with fresh food, and some of the best Indian food in London in a quick waking distance.

We had a free upgrade, which was a lovely surprise! The location was perfect as we were mainly doing things around Shoreditch and Spitalfields, which are both walking distance. We were also able to walking easily to Borough Market with various things to do on the way! The hotel staff were amazing, really friendly and welcoming. The room was brilliant, clean and had everything we needed in it.

Stay Away
Stayed there 6 nights. I had to report the hotel to Action Fraud Police for not providing room service. This was not expected paying over 200 uk pounds a night through Hotels.com.
