Hi all I dont think the hotel deserves some of the criticism,I have stayed here on and off over the past four years, most recently while sitting the nursing exams.I always found Mrs Murray very helpful and the ladys breakfast is to die for,for sure the first floor is noisy but your staying over a nightclub (the legandary ''Fibber Magees'')not...

Hotel in need of a serious facelift. Very rundown. The location is the only good point going for this hotel. I stayed one night, after a concert. I wouldn't recommend it for weekend or week stays, very very basic.

The room was dirty, noisy, smelly, tiny, bedclothes were sticky to touch, carpets threadbare, floor uneven, electrical sockets hanging off the wall, could barely lock door. Would not let my dog stay in this hotel. Area unsafe outside.

This hotel was disgusting. Stayed here for the night when visiting Dublin and was appalled. Our room was disgusting, with a very strong smell of smoke- surprising for a non smoking hotel. This smell was apparent as soon as you walk into the hotel. The cupboards and carpet was dirty with cigarette butts and ash found after the room was... More

Very reasonably priced and breakfast was included,... More

I stayed 3 nights here. When I arrived the guy at the desk was very friendly. The building seems very old and has some problems. It was not the cleanest place I have stayed, and the bed in my room was lopsided. Since I was by myself I was able to deal with this without being too upset. But I... More

Smelled like a dirty gents toilet in a pub, doors didn't close fully, sheets and towels were filthy and the night staff were the rudest I've ever come across. If you're after a terrible experience, then The Gate is what you're looking for!! As for the price, I'd have got better value for money paying the homeless to borrow their... More

If you want a recommendation, I've been coming to this same hotel for years now, and wouldn't go anywhere else. This small hotel is run like a family business. From the momment you walk in, you are welcomed like one of the family returning. It is extremely centrally located, and exceptionally good value for a capital city. The hotel is... More
