Served the purpose

It was clean and served the purpose. It was good that we could open the windows to cool the room down, but had to close them to sleep due to road & pedestrian noise.

The Gateway Hotel is my favorite stay choice in London. You feel like a Londoner when you stay here. The place emphasizes your privacy. Once you get you key card you don’t have to go through the lobby again. IThe best location

I’m giving this property a 4 out of 5. Check in was staffless, I had to collect my key card from a lock box on-site. No problem with this. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. I think the property needs to invest in air conditioning for the rooms because I happened to be staying there on the hottest day of the year but it was miserably hot.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Check in was easy, and the overstay for a night was alright given the price, though I expect cleaning to include the entire room and not just the overall appearance, since opening a draw with old pretzel crumbs and droppings isn’t the most pleasant thing to see. The walls are quite thin, but the noise is tolerable generally. Not a bad place for a short stay, staff prepared the key and information quickly for us to know how to check in or if we had any issues, how we should contact them

Good location, clean room, friendly staff

Great location, close to tube so easy journey into central London. Local area has plenty good places to eat and drink and close to Clapham Common. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean. Room was comfortable and very clean with tea/coffee making tray and fridge. The bathroom and shower was quite snug but all facilities were good. Was worried there would be traffic noise but didn't notice it and they supply earplugs. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel.

My friends and i were in town for the 2023 Moonwalk and needed a convenient place to stay following it. The hotel was great in that they contacted us and provided us with an earlier check in time so we were able to get a few hours sleep. The apartment was as described clean and functional with everything we needed for an overnight stay. Check in was simpke. We really appreciated our early check in. In the evening we enjoyed a short walk to Balham for a bite to eat. The Gateway was a perfect choice for us. Thankyou

There was a strange odor in the bathroom, rather like cat litter. I couldn’t find a source but it was unpleasant to say the least. Otherwise, a comfortable and serviceable room. I especially appreciated the small vanity desk, mini fridge, and coffee station.

Excellent !!

The man at reception was very nice and so helpful! I arrived a little bit earlier but he gave me instructions of what to do for check in. He was also very friendly Really good value for money. Tube station about 2 minute walk from the hotel. Loads of shops nearby Only downside is that there is limited parking spaces however I called up 2 days before and luckily there was spaces available and the guy booked it in for me Overall excellent hotel and will definitely be coming back again. I recommended saying :)

3 day stay.

The Gateway Hotel is ideal for travel around London and surrounding area. Short stroll to Clapham South underground. Marius welcomed us with our room key cards. My friend and I had booked a double room each. My room 18 was small but had everything I needed. The bathroom is very compact! I don't think 2 people would have been comfortable in this room. I took my own earplugs as the hotel is on a busy road and you can hear the tube trains below and I slept well. My friend had a larger room 20 (accessible), modernised, with easy chairs and more storage. Both have small fridge which is really useful and a fan (essential as no air con) Daily housekeeping was good and the rooms were clean. A basic, no frills hotel, ideal as a base and we will definitely stay again.

Cannot comment on staff as I didn't see anyone during my two night stay. In my room two light bulbs needed replacing, as did the light outside the bedroom door. The shower was very slow to drain and needs sorting. Minor points which I would have mentioned to a receptionist if there had been one. Otherwise all was fine - clean, comfortable and secure. Entry instructions very clear.
