    I loved the charming Victorian decor of The Gateway Hotel. The double room was spacious and clean, with nice tea and coffee facilities. The location was convenient, only a 3-minute walk from the underground station, perfect for exploring London.

    Room lacked sufficient charging points.

    Fantastic stay with excellent service!

    The location was perfect, just a short walk from Clapham South tube station. The staff were pretty good. They helped carry my luggage and provided great recommendations for nearby dining options. The room was impeccably clean and well-equipped with tea, coffee, and biscuits. My only suggestion would be to improve the noise insulation for light sleepers, as the nearby road can be a bit noisy.

    I loved the charming Victorian decor of The Gateway Hotel, which gave a warm and inviting atmosphere. The common areas were looked super fresh, and I found the access to public transport convenient for exploring London without any hassle.

    Could use more accessible seating in common areas.
