The hotel is above a very noisy bar. The staff were very kind and saw I was concerned so put us on the top floor but, for the price, it was very disappointing.

The area did not feel safe, was loud all night. Sounded like a fight going on. Parking was In a parking deck several blocks away. The staff was very accommodating in helping up and down the many steps with our luggage. Would not stay there again.

The pictures from this site do not match the hotel that we stayed in. The exterior picture is not even close and the room/bathroom do not match, unless there are remodeled rooms. There is not breakfast served on property, they tell you to go to a restaurant around the corner. The staff was nice and it is well located for pick up location for Finn McCools tours (although I don't know if they always pick up at the same location). We were put in a room on the 3rd floor and the "cold" water from the tap was a trickle, but the hot water was HOT. When I shared this with the front desk, I was told that to let the "cold" water run and that would help with the pressure. It was offered for us to changed rooms, but that seemed like too much of a hassle and we felt it was easier to deal with the "cold" water rather than chance something else. Also, the bathroom lighting was horrible with a mini mirror that was not even at a "normal" height, and also the bathroom did not match any of the bathrooms pictured. I hope that this hotel is in the middle of some remodeling because it is in a central location.

Not how it looks like in the photos. Exterior is from another building, I guess nearby. Probably using it to attract people, false advertising.

Great location but glad we were only there for one night. Nightclub under the hotel, playing heavy rock until 2.30 in the morning and then all the customers from the night club were talking and smoking under the bedroom window long after closing!!!

This is a very old building. Very, very tiny rooms. It's not like what i saw in the pictures. It was close to lots of places. The noise was crazy. You don't get to sleep until the party ends. That would be anywhere from 3:30 am to 3:45 am. Then, 45 minutes later, people started showing up to catch their ride for work. But again, what do you expect when you visit Ireland. It was my very first time visiting there. The staff were fine when you had to deal with them.

Great stay for a low price

Before my trip I had read some of the reviews on here and was somewhat apprehensive about my upcoming stay. Overall I was, however, pleasantly surprised. The room was very spacious; I was travelling with two other friends and we got a double bed each in a triple room. The room was clean and in good overall condition. The hotel was in a good location, close to a tram stop and easy to access public transport to the airport etc. It was useful having the 24hr reception and felt secure. As others' have noted there was some noise from the street, but this didn't really affect us too much and were still able to sleep okay. Also the room was quite warm, but we stayed during one of the UK heatwaves, so this was unavoidable without air conditioning. I think, based on the price paid and based on the fact it is (at the time of writing this review) a 1 star hotel, it was very good value for money. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, so if you are looking for lots of amenities then perhaps stay at a higher rated property, but the Gate Hotel is more than suitable for a budget friendly place to stay for a few nights.

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.

First.. stretchy place. Two.. no lift/elevator. Three.. above a bar so it's extremely noisy, I was not able to sleep at all! Constant noise throughout the entire night. Four.. extremely outdated. The amount we paid for this place is ridiculous! Almost $200! No way I would ever stay here. Spend the extra money and stay in the place behind this place called academy plaza. So much better!!! I would never stay in this place alone
