This was like an apt building with rooms for rent. Not Ada accessible, lots of stairs. The location is right next to a bar and bus stop. So the noise can be annoying. They had a fan but it was on a 2 hr timer. The floor was uneven under very threadbare carpet. I was a little scared I was going to fall through. If you are desperate it will do. But personally I won’t repeat the experience. The attendant was nice when I checked in but every time after that he seemed annoyed when I asked questions. Also, you have to be buzzed in, that should give you a clue…

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.

Staff was wonderful!! The room was clean and the hotel was located in a very central area. We did have a car and they have parking validation for 50% off at a nearby parking garage. Word of warning... the hotel is above a VERY loud bar that is open late. Our room vibrated from the music and the door to their smoking section of the bar was right next to our room. The music was like clash of the death metal bands lol... but i guess it added to the experience? Luckily for me, the music didn't bother me and we slept with the tv on to cover a little bit of the music.... but if you have a hard time sleeping with loud music and people talking, you won't enjoy your stay. If you're a go with the flow person... laugh it off.. or go down and check out the bar.. it's very unique!

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.

Our delux room was up a flight of statue, no elevator , around a corner, no light in the hall. Beside a bar which played music til 2 am. There was a step in the room which I almost tripped on. The location in Dublin was rough. Darl, dirty. The pics and description are totally inaccurate.

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,

Choose alternatives where possible

The only real positive for this hotel is the location, with it being on a 10 minute walk into the centre. The hotel is extremely dated and in dire need of redocorating, the carpet in the room was badly worn exposing the carpet grips around the edges of the room, together with peeling wallpaper and noticeable bodged DIY around the place. The heating was set to such an uncomfortably high level with no room climate control so it felt like you were staying in the pits of hell. Rooms are not sound proof which allows you to hear and feel the music from the rock bar below until the earlier hours of the morning. Staff were hit and miss with some being polite and friendly and others barely acknowledging a “good morning”. At almost €200 a night for a twin room, this is definitely not worth it, with far better hotels in equally as good locations for only a fraction more in cost.

Never again.

Place is run down and not clean. Very very over priced we were £311 for 2 nights and the room pretty much like your mums spare bedroom. Never saw a cleaner once. No fresh towels etc. goggle states that breakfast is included within your stay at Murphy’s restaurant however this is not the case and not included in the price. Rooms are dated. The bed is sore to sleep in, the springs stick out of the mattress making it very uncomfortable. The WiFi doesn’t work and signal on tv is pretty bad unable to watch anything. I will not be returning to this hotel and I would never recommend this to anyone. AVOID.

The Hotel had loud music playing until 2am and the room was not sound proofed and as people were leaving they would stand and talk/shout outside window. Possibly the worst night sleep in 2 months travelling and we needed to catch an early morning flight.

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!

DO NOT STAY HERE

Awful hotel. Do not stay here. It is above a nightclub that plays music until the early hours. Homeless people sleeping in the doorway to the hotel. Rooms stink of smoke and marijuana. Mold in the bathrooms. Hotel is not what is in the pictures

Not worth it

We got the deluxe double and were happy to find the elusive queen bed. However, the mattress was horrible and had a huge sink spot in it so we had a terrible sleep. The mattress was long past it best before date, quite unbearable. The room was clean and modern otherwise but was right above a nightclub and very hot so we had to choose between an open window or cigarette/marijuana smell all night. The hotel was unable to provide a fan for us and it was unbearably hot. There are narrow hallways and lots stairs so may be troublesome for some, especially with large luggage. The location is walking distance to Temple Bar area and plenty of action in the area. We even walked to the Guinness Storehouse, though it was quite far (about 40 minutes).

This isn't the Ritz but it had everything we needed. We were on a work trip so our needs are different. We only needed a Clean and comfortable bed and this place had exactly that. Had tea and coffee facilities and a great TV. Window view was awful but we weren't hanging around the room. Room was quite hot but they provided us with a fan which helped. No aircon but it is Ireland and aircon not really necessary. The location here in the heart of the city cannot be beaten this is as central as you can get. Busy bar downstairs so be aware of that. Otherwise cheap and cheerful and worth the money.
