Before my trip I had read some of the reviews on here and was somewhat apprehensive about my upcoming stay. Overall I was, however, pleasantly surprised. The room was very spacious; I was travelling with two other friends and we got a double bed each in a triple room. The room was clean and in good overall condition. The hotel was in a good location, close to a tram stop and easy to access public transport to the airport etc. It was useful having the 24hr reception and felt secure. As others' have noted there was some noise from the street, but this didn't really affect us too much and were still able to sleep okay. Also the room was quite warm, but we stayed during one of the UK heatwaves, so this was unavoidable without air conditioning. I think, based on the price paid and based on the fact it is (at the time of writing this review) a 1 star hotel, it was very good value for money. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, so if you are looking for lots of amenities then perhaps stay at a higher rated property, but the Gate Hotel is more than suitable for a budget friendly place to stay for a few nights.
