The location of the hotel being close to the city centre was great however the hotel doesng live up to the photos on the site. The room smelled musty and of old cigarettes, it was smaller with uneven floors and the bed was sagging in the middke. The rooms furniture was prefabricated wood that had seen better days but getting past that what waa really annoyjng was the fact our room was right next to Fibbers night club and we were subjected to music blasting each night until at least 3a the music coming through the walls wasnt mentioned...as well as housekeeping bringing in extra towels and replacing coffee but leaving the used cups and not making the bed.

The hotel is in an excellent location. You are very close to shops, pubs, restaurants. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly too. What let's the hotel down is the cleanliness of the rooms, as well as the poor condition of the decor. I quite liked the wonky staircase because it added to its character, however I don't quite understand how someone can put a curtain rail up wonky?. The pillows are cheap and not very comfortable. There was dust at the edges of the carpets. Limescale everywhere in the bathroom, plus some extra hairs to top it off. Basically, my room needed decorating badly!!! And cleaning should be a higher standard. It wasn't a cheap accommodation either. If you don't want a noisy place to stay, I wouldn't recommend either. I think if the rooms were decorated simple but decent and the cleanliness was better I would definitely stay again.

Comfortable, clean, and centrally located

The Gate Hotel was perfect for our stay in Dublin. It’s central and walking distance from most things we wanted to see/do. The only tricky part was that there were no elevators, so for older folks that may be tough. We managed just fine. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. We would absolutely stay there again. They also have a deal for parking with a nearby garage, which was also helpful.

Great Hotel on a budget in central Dublin

Perfectly situated for the Aircoach stops in O’Connel Street. Clean, basic, friendly staff, good breakfast just around the corner from the hotel’s entrance. This is what you need for a few days in Dublin.

Great location, lovely staff, ideal for a night stay, TV had everything and WiFi was great. Only thing is our bathroom didn’t have a bath mat so water got all over the floor. You are also over a bar which does play loud music, wasn’t a bother to me or my boyfriend.

Very dated and needs lots of updating, great Location for bars and easy to walk to main city centre however got absolutely no sleep as this is on a busy road with buses and loud siren’s constantly passing and if that wasn’t enough to keep you awake it’s above a very busy club with people still partying and screeching until 6am Pleasant staff and did provide plenty of clean towels and basic toiletries along with out of date coffee!

Though from outside the property looked dire, inside the hotel was entirely satisfactory, with rooms comfortable and well equipped. My room was two floors above the bar on the ground floor and remained noisy till after 3.30am. By far my biggest concern was the fire door just outside my room; it banged shut all night as other residents drifted in from their nighttime entertainment,

I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this hotel. It is an old building, but the beds were comfy and clean. We have been travelling around Europe for 2 weeks (staying in cheap hotels) and I would say this was my favourite stay.
