6/10 Good

Decent budget stay

Easy self check in and check out. Room was clean, towels provided, free WiFi, short distance from tube. Nothing fancy and decent budget hotel for one night away. Would use again.

6/10 Good

Served the purpose

It was clean and served the purpose. It was good that we could open the windows to cool the room down, but had to close them to sleep due to road & pedestrian noise.
Michael, 1-night trip

Clean, comfortable and convenient!
Frances, 1-night trip

Property is in a great location with a tube station just up the road, several grocery stores and cafes also very close.

Overall good stay

Good hotel services overall. Quite a noisy location by the street however. Used the ear plugs😉

Nice and easy check-in, getting to room was straight forward. Lovely and quiet even with a bar next door playing music didn’t hear it at all!

I’m giving this property a 4 out of 5. Check in was staffless, I had to collect my key card from a lock box on-site. No problem with this. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. I think the property needs to invest in air conditioning for the rooms because I happened to be staying there on the hottest day of the year but it was miserably hot.

Gateway Hotel Balam

Good room, comfortable bed but the bathroom was ver tight as was access to the dressing table because of space at the end of the bed. Also located on very busy and noisy road but did supply earplugs

Cosy

Small room but nice, clean and fairly quiet. Very short walk from Clapham South tube station
Phil, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in was easy, and the overstay for a night was alright given the price, though I expect cleaning to include the entire room and not just the overall appearance, since opening a draw with old pretzel crumbs and droppings isn’t the most pleasant thing to see. The walls are quite thin, but the noise is tolerable generally. Not a bad place for a short stay, staff prepared the key and information quickly for us to know how to check in or if we had any issues, how we should contact them
Hamad, 1-night trip

Will defo stay again. Great communication even greeted personally despite being later than I expected. Thanks to all there.

Good location, clean room, friendly staff

Great location, close to tube so easy journey into central London. Local area has plenty good places to eat and drink and close to Clapham Common. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean. Room was comfortable and very clean with tea/coffee making tray and fridge. The bathroom and shower was quite snug but all facilities were good. Was worried there would be traffic noise but didn't notice it and they supply earplugs. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel.
Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room got warm with the window closed but the traffic noise made us close the window to sleep. Trains and traffic were tolerable after about 11:00 pm.

10/10 Exceptional

My friends and i were in town for the 2023 Moonwalk and needed a convenient place to stay following it. The hotel was great in that they contacted us and provided us with an earlier check in time so we were able to get a few hours sleep. The apartment was as described clean and functional with everything we needed for an overnight stay. Check in was simpke. We really appreciated our early check in. In the evening we enjoyed a short walk to Balham for a bite to eat. The Gateway was a perfect choice for us. Thankyou

8/10 Very good

There was a strange odor in the bathroom, rather like cat litter. I couldn’t find a source but it was unpleasant to say the least. Otherwise, a comfortable and serviceable room. I especially appreciated the small vanity desk, mini fridge, and coffee station.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent !!

The man at reception was very nice and so helpful! I arrived a little bit earlier but he gave me instructions of what to do for check in. He was also very friendly Really good value for money. Tube station about 2 minute walk from the hotel. Loads of shops nearby Only downside is that there is limited parking spaces however I called up 2 days before and luckily there was spaces available and the guy booked it in for me Overall excellent hotel and will definitely be coming back again. I recommended saying :)
Danielle, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

3 day stay.

The Gateway Hotel is ideal for travel around London and surrounding area. Short stroll to Clapham South underground. Marius welcomed us with our room key cards. My friend and I had booked a double room each. My room 18 was small but had everything I needed. The bathroom is very compact! I don't think 2 people would have been comfortable in this room. I took my own earplugs as the hotel is on a busy road and you can hear the tube trains below and I slept well. My friend had a larger room 20 (accessible), modernised, with easy chairs and more storage. Both have small fridge which is really useful and a fan (essential as no air con) Daily housekeeping was good and the rooms were clean. A basic, no frills hotel, ideal as a base and we will definitely stay again.

All good. Bit rumbely from the tube running underneath.

Really well situated, and close to the underground. Really lovely host and rooms are basic, but equipped with everything you need for a one-night stay with some characteristics kept from the original building. Thank you Gateway! :)

Très bon séjour! Petit hotel très propre, grande chambre disposant d'un mini frigo, salle de bain un peu étroite mais si vous n'étes pas très grand, ca va. Un bémol était que c'était très bruyant, meme avec les fenetre fermées, on entendait le bruit des voitures. Pour ceux qui ont le someil léger, ca peut être compliquer de faire des nuits complètes. Très bon emplacement, à 5 minutes de la Northern Line avec accès à King's Cross en 25 minutes environ. Plusieurs lignes de bus à proximité. Beaucoup de choix de restauration (super brunch pas loin! je recommande Berry's and Maple ! copieux et pas très cher - ca remplace bien le fait qu'il n'y ait pas de petit déjeuner servi à l'hotel. Un autre bon restau est Watan à Toothing, super bon et bon prix). Globalement, nous avons aimé notre séjour et recommandons cet hotel.
