    I loved the charming Victorian decor of The Gateway Hotel, which added a warm and inviting atmosphere. The double room was spacious and clean, with nice tea and coffee facilities. The location was incredibly convenient, only a 3-minute walk from the underground station, perfect for exploring London.

    Room lacked sufficient charging points.

    I loved the charming Victorian decor of The Gateway Hotel, which gave a warm and inviting atmosphere. The common areas were immaculately clean, and I found the access to public transport incredibly convenient for exploring London without any hassle.

    Could use more accessible seating in common areas.

    road noise

    Fantastic stay with excellent service!

    I had a lovely stay for 2 nights in a Double Room. The location was perfect, just a short walk from Clapham South tube station, making it easy to explore London. The staff went above and beyond. they helped carry my luggage and provided great recommendations for nearby dining options. The room was impeccably clean and well-equipped with tea, coffee, and biscuits, adding a nice touch. My only suggestion would be to improve the noise insulation for light sleepers, as the nearby road can be a bit noisy.

    main road

    I had a delightful stay at The Gateway, enjoying its impeccable cleanliness and excellent location just a block from the Clapham South underground station. The only drawback was the noise from the main road, but earplugs provided made it manageable. a wonderful value for the price!

    great location near tube, super comfy bed, really clean room with all the basics provided, friendly staff were helpful, loved the self check-in!

    had no lift which was a bit annoying with luggage, some noise from the road outside, but not too bad though.

    street noise

    Had a lovely stay here! Loved the cozy lounge where I could relax after a day of exploring and the small fitness center which was perfect for keeping up with my routine. The only slight downside was some noise from the street at night, but the provided earplugs worked wonders. 😊

    great location
    friendly staff
    road noise
    small bathroom

    The Gateway Hotel proved to be a great spot for my stay. The clean, spacious room had a comfy bed and a nice fridge. I enjoyed the ease of self-check-in. it made arriving hassle-free. Very few staff around, which took some getting used to. The noise from the road was noticeable, but earplugs helped. Perfectly located near the tube station, making trips into central London quick and convenient. Local eateries and a supermarket nearby were a real bonus. The bathroom, however, could use some improvement, as it felt cramped with little space for toiletries. I noticed the shower had some limescale, but it was functional. A small maintenance update would go a long way. Honestly, I would definitely consider returning due to the location and cleanliness, despite the small hiccups.

    clean room
    modern bathroom
    firm bed
    cramped parking
    pub noise

    Positive aspects include a nicely clean room with a modern en-suite bathroom and excellent shower pressure. The smart TV with access to Netflix and a provided mini fridge were significant bonuses. the bed was quite firm, which may not suit everyone's preferences, and the parking situation was a bit cramped. noise from the nearby pub was occasionally disruptive, despite good sound insulation in our room. a comfortable stay with room for improvement.
