I picked City Gate Guest House as an overnight stay for a music festival at the nearby Victoria Park. I was delighted to find somewhere at a reasonable rate, and I was very happy with my stay there. In particular, I was pleased with the warm welcome I received from Ali and one of his staff, who made me feel "at home" and showed me the entry/exit protocols and the route to my room - that was much appreciated. The room was bigger than I might have expected, and the bed was very comfortable. I was also surprised to see a sizable Smart TV was available. The shared bathroom was just a few steps away and was as clean as possible, given its shared format. I got a great night's sleep, even though there were other guest rooms in close proximity. All in all, City Gate exceeded my expectations for a budget overnight stay, so I'll certainly return if I'm drawn to another Victoria Park event!

The bathroom was a bit small, and the door stuck, but this was to be expected, given that it was a shared facility.

Two of us stayed here in early June and overall had a very positive experience. The location is fantastic, just a few minutes’ walk from the underground, making it super convenient for getting around London. The staff were nice and welcoming, which made the stay even more pleasant. Our room was a pleasant surprise too: it was quite spacious and had a large balcony, definitely a bonus in London where space can be tight! Considering the usual prices in London, we found it to be great value for money.

The only downside was the shared bathroom. It was cleaned well by the staff, but unfortunately, some guests weren’t very hygienic or considerate when using it. That’s not really the guest house’s fault, just something to keep in mind.

I am a returning guest to City Gate Guest House and once again I have had the most amazing experience staying here. One of the staff members named Ali has once again made me feel so welcome and as always has gone above and beyond for us. He’s always having a lovely chat with his guests and making us laugh and smile. Providing us with the best care. If there’s anywhere i’d choose to stay it will be here it feels just like home. The rooms were fully equipped with everything needed and Ali had gave us an amazing room. Thank you so much to Ali for another great experience and I will definitely be back!! :)

REFURBISHED BUILDING ON A ROAD WITH TRAFFIC. 6/7 MINUTES WALK TO VAUXHALL SUBWAY STATION. I HAD A ROOM FACING THE ROAD SO GOT SOME NOISE FROM THE TRAFFIC, BUT IT WAS NOT TOO DISTURBING. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF RESTAURANTS RIGHT NEXT TO IT BUT NOTHING ELSE. THE ROOM WAS SMALL BUT CONFORTABLE. THERE WERE ENOUGH SHARED TOILLETS AND BATHROOMS. BED AND PILLOWS WERE OK. SELF CHECK-IN AS THE GUEST GETS PASS CODES BY MAIL.

A BIT TOO ISOLLATED. SOME NOISE FROM ROAD. NO HOOKS TO HANG A WET TOWEL OR OVERCOAT IN WINTER. TWO FLIGHTS OF STAIRS

This guest house surpassed my expectations. It was well-kept, clean and peaceful. Upon request I got upgraded to an en-suite with balcony, and the room was absolutely lovely and cosy, the bed was comfortable. The area of London felt both peaceful and lively, with plenty to offer on its own, and it was also well connected to the rest of the city and the airport. Excellent quality for the price. The kindness of Ali really made my stay comfortable. I recommend the guest house and would definitely stay here again.

Everything was ok

Great location between two metro lines, with several places to eat nearby. Victoria Park is also just a short walk away. The staff were incredibly friendly—especially Ali, who went above and beyond! I was pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade to an en-suite room with a nice view. Ali also gave me lots of helpful tips about the area and even helped me reheat my lunch—truly 10/10 service. The room was clean, warm, and had a strong internet connection. There was also a well-lit desk, which made it easy to get work done.

The host Ali was brilliant. Really helpful and made us feel comfortable. The room itself was clean with fresh towels tea/coffee and was well worth the money. Location was ideal for central line tube. Definitely recommend if you're looking for budget friendly room with easy access to the city 😀

Maybe the only thing I would say is the walls in the bedroom could be doing with a freshen up of paint. But it didn't affect our stay of course 🤪

Ali was so helpful.Seamless check in.....Best part located next to Stepney green underground station giving you access to the entire central London.Sainsbury is right next to the station as well for all your grocery needs. I will definitely be back and going to be this....Great value for money by the way

Everything was top notch I believe.If can include water in the property,that would be a cherry on top.

We have come with our 2 daughter and accidentally booked 2 same type rooms on different flats but thankfully (Ali the manager) was a super star made sure that we was in the same flat with the kids. Always around if there was anything we wanted to ask Evan if it wasn’t about the property

My flight was delayed and the manager was very understanding. He removed the usual surcharge for those who arrive after 9:30pm and made sure that I still has a smooth experience accessing my keys, even with no one at the front desk. The room had a shared bathroom with three other guests, who I never saw. The room itself was decent enough for the price.

They could add a lamp and perhaps a mirror to the room.
