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.

The Gate Hotel
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Pleasant staff and did provide plenty of clean towels and basic toiletries along with out of date coffee!

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.

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

Bodde i ett rum på första våningen som låg mot bakgården där det fanns en pub. De spelade livemusik till klockan 03 på natten. Helt omöjligt att sova. Vi kommenterade detta och fick då ett nytt rum, där vi fick lugn o ro och kunde sova. Sängarna saknade dock bäddmadrass, så underlaget var inte det bästa.
Väldigt trevlig o tillmötesgående personal!!

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.

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.

Hotel is a great base. Easy walking distance to temple bars. Area a bit rough especially the entrance. We had a room at the back of the hotel and didn’t notice much noise from the club and the bars next door. Bed clean and a hot shower is all we needed. The price is expensive for where it’s situated however everywhere in Dublin is expensive. Fresh towels daily / hairdryer and iron in the room/ hand gel and shower gel in the bathroom so cannot really complain.

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).

Tres déçus
Hotel tres bien placé, seul point positif.Chambre très exiguë, pas propre, mal agencée, impossible de deplier nos valises totalement sans risquer de s'entraver. Tarif beaucoup trop élevé et qui diffère d'une nuit a l'autre. Heureusement que le personnel disponible et tres sympa relève le niveau.
