After a very horrible stay at a dodgy hostel I found this place online . It was amazing lovely views and good location for me . I will definitely cone back .
Lovely stay. Got a nice room with balcony on the 4th floor and views over London. The staff was friendly. I would recommend this place for staying a few days. It's located close to Stepney Green tube station and there are a few nice restaurants nearby as well as a couple of supermarkets (Sainsbury's and Tesco). I think this place offers good value for money.
We stayed here qhile coming to a concert so needed somewhere just to leave our belongings and sleeo for the night. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and had a 24 hour call service if there were any problems. Was about a 5 minute walk to the closet train station, tube station and bus stop so very easy to comunte anywhere. Will most definitely be staying here again :)

Generally good, Good basic, no frills accommodation.
If that is what you want, then that is what you will get.Host
very helpful and friendly. Allowed me to book in early with no extra charge, which was most appreciated.
The room size was great, mattress uncomfortable, and no a/c made for poor sleeps on hot days.

We hade a great room with Balcony, and shared bathroom hade everything we needed but the shower head bracket was broken and the shower head tilled sideways, waster and pressure was very good. I would come back
Stayed at city gates hotel last night big thank u to staff member who made my stay a special one even though I was late arriving and struggled to find the place she explained everything to me so I understood
Nice room nice bed nice and very clean nothing was to much trouble so after having bad experience at Amsterdam hotel last month nice and refreshing no one lying to u is a pleasant surprise
I love staying here for my two weeks day. It felt like home the staff was very friendly. It was very convenient and it had a lot of shops and places to eat nearby, and it was close to the train station that led directly to the city less than 20 minutes one thing I didn’t like was the fact that it was nonrefundable I understand that it could be not be refundable up to one day, but I booked 12 days and they didn’t want to refund the rest of the trip because initially I wanted to stay closer to city. But it was worth it at the end. The hotel should relook into its refund policy
My girlfriend and I visited this hotel just for a place to stay overnight after we had watched the cigarettes after sex concert, We arrived over an hour and a half early, in which case we contacted the location to see about checking in early, when we arrived, we were immediately greeted to a warm welcome.
We were asked to stay in the lobby just whilst they checked if our rooms coudl be situated for the early checking, during this time we sat and stayed in the chairs in the lobby. It is a small lobby but is quite cozy.
Once the staff were back, they allowed us to check in early, they didn’t even charge us an early checking fee. We spoke in the elevator to a member of staff, who asked us how our travels had been and what brought us to london.
After this we were brought to our room, it was a nice cozy room, featuring a television, wardrobe, table and chair and a nightstand by the double bed.
There were free complimentary tea and coffees, including biscuits.
The room was a very nice room overall, The only concerns being that there were no plug sockets near the bed, which isn’t a deal breaker but means to charge your phone you either need a long cable or to leave it on the floor.
The two other concerns were a hole in the wall, which i suspect was caused by a previous guest, and the lock to the door being very inconvenient, as the lock would get stuck so you would have to apply some force to the door to lock it. Aside from these things, i think the room was great!

Friendly staff, but for the price of the stay, the room and shared bathroom wasn‘t really worth it.
Cheap & good location for gig at Olympic Stadium. Very basic & room was very hot so could have done with a fan or something. But ideal & good price for a one night stay.
Stay was good , area is average, . City Gate Guest House , they are good at taking moneyfor stay . But they ask for a deposit on the day , and say they will refund you . But ater a week now still no REFUND, Very poor beware .
