RECENT REVIEW
“Stayed here as a means to escape by busy home and focus on some work. The space and room was amazing; location was 2 minutes from Train station and restaurants; the hotel also had a terrace and breakfast area where you can relax and do some work.”
RECENT REVIEW
“I enjoyed the location as it was near many tourist attractions and had easy access to public transport. The rooms were clean and spacious with comfortable beds. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.”
RECENT REVIEW
“Very clean well maintained chic hotel. Friendly helpful staff. Free tea, coffee and soft drinks all day. Bed really comfy. Great location near to the financial district, and numerous restaurants, bars and pubs. It’s been in operation for about 4 years but throughout looks brand new. Really difficult to find fault with this place. Aldgate tube 5 minutes walk, but lots to do and see on foot.”
The Gateway to the City
The Gate London City is located at the gateway to the City and within a short walking distance of London's most creative and vibrant areas of Shoreditch, Hoxton and Hackney, all alive with street art, independent restaurants and great bars.

Special "exclusive offers" or "online coupons" or email solicitations not intended for the general public;

Comparison Rates: The Comparison Rate must be found on a website available to be booked by the general public, other than the official hotel website, within 24 hours of booking your hotel room on the official hotel website and at least 48 hours prior to midnight hotel local time of your arrival date.
The Comparison Rate must be for the same hotel, same reservation date(s), same room type (i.e. room size and amenities), same number of guests, same currency as the official hotel website confirmation email, and the same advance payment and refund policies and restrictions must apply.
The Comparison Rate must still be available at the time Reservation or hotel front office team validates the claim.
The rates will be compared net of any taxes, gratuities, or any other fees associated with the room rate; however, if the official hotel website rate has taxes included, we will verify that the total cost of your Comparison Rate is lower so that prices are compared on a relative basis. Rate disparities solely attributable to rounding, fluctuations and/or difference in currency exchange rates are excluded from the Best Rates Guarantee. Claims will be denied when the difference between the Comparison Rate and the rate on the official hotel website is less than 1USD, 1EUR or 1GBP or equivalent in the local currency of the hotel.

Comparison Rates applicable to only a portion of the reservation will not be honored.
If your reservation meets these criteria, let us know by submitting the claim form.
Reservation or hotel front office team will verify the rate meets all these Best Rates Guarantee terms and conditions and contact you via email. Once confirmed, we will match the lower rate and offer a free room upgrade upon availability. For prepaid bookings, the difference will be refunded on the applicable credit card by the hotel. You may only submit one claim for each stay.
If a new reservation confirmation number is provided for the new rate, it must be presented at the hotel at the time of check-in.
The Best Rates Guarantee is void where prohibited by law.
We reserve the right to change or discontinue the Best Rates Guarantee at any time without prior notice.
