Overall the Gate was nice. Excellent walkable location. The rooms are basic and small but that was expected. One complaint is the bathroom lighting is horrible, could hardly tell the lights were on. The room had everything we needed.

The hotel is centrally and conveniently located whilst not being loud at all in the evening. Would definitely recommend getting a room with a terrace. We really enjoyed ours and definitely appreciated the spacious terrace which was great in the summer. The staff were very kind and polite too.

Clean room with enough of space for me. Toiletries available. Comfy bed. Breakfast was available and it was cheaper than it outside. But I hadn’t tried it.

Jail cell stay
Rooms felt like a jail cell and the elevators can be tricky with the weight control; hopefully these can be fixed in due time but rooms needed fresh paint and floors felt like jail corridors
