The Gate ApartHotel is a purpose-built commercial building with managed apartments and is ran as such. This means you get the good and the bad of the "big" business approach. For the majority of the time, it's great, you get all the services you would expect: the cleaning once a week, gym, concierge, someone at the reception 24/7 to deal with your requests. I've stayed for more than four weeks and cared about the ability to easily receive parcels or even takeaway. The communal area on the fifth floor with complimentary tea/coffee is great. As I stayed for a long period, a good kitchen with a fridge, dishwasher and washing machine was of importance to me and it was great. Although, not all the rooms are the same and smaller room's facilities are not the same. And this is where we get the "bad", as far as I can tell, as is the case with the majority of big business/hotels, on arrival you're very likely to be given a smaller room than that in the pictures and you'll need to go through the motions to get a bigger one.
