We went to see family in London for New Year and stayed for 4 nights at The Gateway Hotel. It was only 5 minutes walk from Clapham South Tube Station. It is also a pleasant walk along from Clapham Common Tube Station too. Our room, number 17, in the newer extension, was modern, clean and comfortable and the staff were... More

My partner is disabled and we requested a ground floor room, unfortunately the only disabled room they had was unavailable and my partner had to struggle up 2 flights of stairs. As we were only staying one night we just put up with... More

Stayed two nights here recently as it was convenient for a family visit. It is close to shops, cafes and restaurants and the underground. Very friendly receptionist and we were allowed to leave luggage in our room though we were very early in arriving. At £80 per night for a twin this was not cheap. This did not include breakfast...

We stayed here with another couple in the middle of July 2011 for 2 nights. Our friends were in Room 9 (1st floor) and we were in Room 2. Room 9 was on the front of the main building and quite bright but noisy because of the busy road outside. Room 2 was down some narrow stairs in the basement.... More

I was looking for a cheap hotel in London for one night. Although some reviews found in the Internet were negative I decided to book this hotel. I enjoyed my stay. All was great. The most important that it was close to the Tube station and the room and bathroom were clean. Good location and value for London. The hotel... More

Stayed here for one night. Rude service at reception and would not let us check in before 2pm. Rooms were clean, however if you choose this hotel then you should bring earplugs. It is located on a very busy street with non-stop traffic into the am, including trucks. Couple this with the London Underground which ratttles the building every 10... More
