Poor Hotel

This hotel is desperately in need of updating. My bedroom was small, not very clean and felt like a relic from the 1970's. The window could open fully, with no security restraint, posing a serious hazard to any guest bringing a young child.

I had two stays at Gate Hotel the first night the room was so hot I had to wet a towel over my legs to get to sleep. I asked not to be put in that room on my return trip but it seems it's a first in first served so I asked for another room. It was a floor up and you could here the garden Bar, but as I grow up opposite a pub this didn't worry me. It was much cooler. Clean room and helpful staff.

If you are somebody who needs quiet to sleep, I would not stay here. I didn't learn until I had checked in that the hotel, and in particular my room, was right above a pub--that serves alcohol until 2:30 a.m. and doesn't close until 3:30 a.m. That was not disclosed anywhere on Orbitz, nor was I told this upon check in. Soon after getting to the room, I asked to be put in a different room, but that wasn't possible, as none were open. I asked to be let out of my reservation. I got the runaround from two different people at the desk over several hours. One said I needed to wait for a manager to sign off, then another nothing could be done because it was a weekend. "How will I sleep if there is pounding music and drunken laughter until 3 a.m.?" I asked one of the guys. Then he did something that made me realize this was a huge problem at the hotel: he got out a large box of earplugs and offered me a pair. I spent an hour on the phone with Orbitz. They tried to be helpful but said they needed a waiver from the company to let me out of my three days of reservation. That never came. Around 10 p.m., I decided to just leave. I wasn't going to ruin my short time in Dublin because I couldn't sleep. I ended up losing the money, which was very frustrating. If you like to party, and figure you will be out late, then this place is probably fine. You can come in around 3 a.m. and crash out. If you want relative quiet to be able to sleep, then stay somewhere else.

A bar / nightclub operates at the hotel. Any thoughts of sleeping should be disgarded. Had booked this hotel for my employee and he had to check out at 1130pm as they could not sleep

This is my first time writing reviews on hotel. But if I could give this hotel zero rating I will. My husband and I recently visited Ireland. We book the hotel despite of the low rating. We book 1bed room nonsmoking.We came back from our tour to check in. There was a gentleman man in front of us. Although he did warned us that he is leaving because of the unbearable noise in his room. We simply say to him “Im sure we will be fine, but good luck”. We got in to the room. And we are so shocked about the noise. The hallways smells like mildew and Smoke. Our Room smells like a straight up ashtray. I do have A severe asthma and I could not stand the smell and smoke coming out of the bar literally right next to us. At one point im getting tachycardia and feeling getting tired due to my heart beating fast. We feel nauseous and started to get a headache. Never in my life experienced stuff like this and to pay $185 to only feel we couldn’t breathe and feel suffocated and the need settle to the noise (God knows how long it will last) My husband and I are both nurses and one thing we both like to do on our days off is to travel. We’ve been through hundreds of hotels but this is by far the worst we stayed at.All we need is a place to crashed out and sleep. We experience the opposite.We contacted Expedia. And alerted the Front desk that we have to leave and cancel the room.It was already 1:30 am.We are tired at that point,but we couldn’t stay any longer in that room. Overall bad experience

Well placed in Dublin

We asked for a quiet room so we’re on the 3rd floor ( this is an old hotel so under stable) The room was quiet and clean. For a hotel that is central it is affordable and clean.

Cheap and cheerful hotel was what I expected for the money, so only complaint was that the room was literally shaking until 2am from the loud music coming from underneath

Value for Money

Great value for the price. Right in the centre of the city for a budget break it’s great! There is stairs to check in, very basic area. The rooms are a lot more luxurious than we were expecting and nice big windows & tv and the bed is so comfortable, clean hotel standards. Staff are pleasant and then there’s a pub restaurant attached so if you want food from the hotel as such you would go there. No room service. You ring a bell for them to open the door too, day & night, so good security.
