The rooms are small, the internet is shocking, Tv doesn't work. The floorboards are so loud that anytime anybody moves you can hear it, the walls are paper thin. No sinks for water. Would not stay again.

Good location but very basic hotel
Cheap & good location for gig at Olympic Stadium. Very basic & room was very hot so could have done with a fan or something. But ideal & good price for a one night stay.

We stayed here qhile coming to a concert so needed somewhere just to leave our belongings and sleeo for the night. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and had a 24 hour call service if there were any problems. Was about a 5 minute walk to the closet train station, tube station and bus stop so very easy to comunte anywhere. Will most definitely be staying here again :)

The place is basic and clean. The WiFi never worked once during my two-night stay (signal was fine and could connect but there was no internet). No one in the lobby to help fix it. Bed left my back sore. It was fairly quiet but the walls are thin and I could hear other guests.

Wish I could have given a better review. We messaged the property we would be arriving late. The night time receptionist should have met us at the door but no one was there. It’s cold in London and thankfully one of the guests let us into the building around 1am. We called and messaged for about an hour until someone finally came. While we waited we began looking for other last minute hotels or being forced to sleep in the lobby. While waiting for the reception inside the lobby someone barged through the door (not a guest of the location) also looking for a room then left. Not the best security system, the room is average, the street noise is loud and we will not be back.

We stayed at this property for one night, we were told upon arrival that we would need to pay £25 for a key, nowhere in the booking policy or email was this specified, when I contacted the property prior to our stay with additional queries my messages were not responded to. Managers/bosses need to do better. The shower pressure was terrible, we literally had three drops of water from the shower head which was super annoying. A positive - thankyou to the guy who supported us with our stay who had only been working there for three days, was very patient with us and did his utmost to help with our frustrations.

The description on the Expedia website was inaccurate prior to making the booking. I would not have made the booking if I had known that the bathrooms/ toilet facilities were not private. I made a reservation for my partner and myself to go to a room complete with "private" bathroom and "toilet" as part of a romantic weekend . This was ruined as we found we had taken up accommodation in a hostel where one bathroom / toilet was shared between 403 [ our room] , 401 and 402. One of the managers was informed I wanted to make a formal complaint on the Saturday and then they mentioned they would try to offer an upgrade. In the end they never got back to me. We found pubic hairs on the floor of our guest room., the bed was far too hard to sleep on comfortably and we were initially were requested to make a deposit of £40 for the keys as a deposit. When I made enquires prior to the City Gate, I was informed about none of this. The experience of this hotel [ aca hostel] ruined our romantic weekend and in the end we had to leave on the Saturday as the whole experience was too dreadful
