Whilst the staff were accommodating in checking us in late at night, our room smelt strongly of cigarettes (especially the bathroom) and the inboard fan did not work properly. When this was raised with the hotel staff, they were unwilling to assist us or provide any compensation for providing with us with an unkept and smelly room.

The cozy room was perfect for travellers that just need a place to stay overnight.
That said, the small wardrobe in the room was not anchored to the wall and would topple over onto you when the door was opened. How is that acceptable?

Friendly service, very good! but...
The friendly service is very good. However, the room is not soundproofed, so I can hear the cars passing by. The room is too cold at night. The location is unfortunate as it is far from the subway station.

Staff very helpful always. Receptionist 24/7.
Breakfast available if needed.
Microwave not in room but can get to use hotel’s microwave.
Downside, heavy traffic area, can hear the traffic at nights.
Was told to be careful in the neighbourhood when walking. People in the nearby shops were very helpful.
No elevators but got help to carry my suitcase.
Hairdryer available from reception area.
No bed side table or table to eat in room as it was a small room.
Fridge/ceiling fan in room. Tea and coffee provided in room daily.
Older building. Bus ride to the tube station.
No restaurants nearby but small take out places for food.
If you are on a budget and don’t plan on being in the hotel for long periods of time it’s ok.
I was out the entire days I stayed there so worked well for a 3 night stay.

Had to leave room key with reception every time you leave the building. Felt very unsafe as they could easily take all valuable items from your room.

Pleasantly surprised!
We saw mixed reviews about the commongate before we booked so were a little apprehensive on our journey down. We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of our room given the very low price. It’s never going to be the Ritz but this hotel is absolutely fine to stay in if you’re happy with the basics and just want a room to sleep in. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cheap stay in London. I would come back here again. The only very very minor feedback point is that they only give you 1 pillow and the water from the bathroom has a sign on it saying it is not drinkable, so make sure you bring your own water or you can just use the kettle in the room.
