The Gateway Hotel offers a convenient base near Clapham South with clean, basic rooms and easy self check-in, attracting praise for friendly, helpful staff while recurring comments note traffic and tube noise from its busy road setting.
Many guests like the proximity to Clapham Common, the Underground, and nearby cafes and supermarkets. Rooms are simple and often compact, with handy in-room fridges; some apartments provide full kitchens. Service communication is clear and accommodating, but limited reception hours mean slower responses at night. Expect a budget-friendly, no-frills stay focused on location and practicality.

Quaint little hotel with easy access to buses and the Underground. It was under renos so we didn’t see how it would look normally. No front desk in the evenings. No elevator and stairs to rooms.

Hotel is in a convenient location for travel to Central London. Hotel doesnt offer breakfast but there are plenty of cafes to the left and right of the hotel which are very good. Hotel rooms are a little small but are more than adequate for a weekend away. The room we had was a double en-suite at the front of the hotel. It was clean, had plenty of tea/coffee and toiletries for our stay. We stayed two night and although we didnt expect it, the room was cleaned and made-up again for our second night which was a nice touch. The room was at the front of the hotel and being a hot night, we had the window open which meant there was some noise from the trafgic and nearby pubs but after an exhausting day in London, we were not disturbed for too long. Overall a very good hotel at a reasonable price with great facilities and super transport links.

The man at reception was very nice and so helpful! I arrived a little bit earlier but he gave me instructions of what to do for check in. He was also very friendly Really good value for money. Tube station about 2 minute walk from the hotel. Loads of shops nearby Only downside is that there is limited parking spaces however I called up 2 days before and luckily there was spaces available and the guy booked it in for me Overall excellent hotel and will definitely be coming back again. I recommended saying :)

Stayed in the apartment for a night as we were volunteering at Clapham Common for Moonwalk. Great base really close to the tube and a good range of local shops and facilities The apartment was very clean, well equipped and the perfect base. We were able to get our room just after 2 then head out for lunch before relaxing for a couple of hours before heading out. Having the full and well equipped kitchen was great as we stocked the fridge up with goodies for our late return and the makings for breakfast in the morning.

maybe just had a bad room. ear plugs on bed side table suggests noise complaints pretty common. alot of flushing toilets and super noisy fridge, traffic (but tough to avoid on main road I guess) and plumbing makes weird gurgling noises alot. cleaner between nights one and two could have been a bit more thorough also. but otherwise generally fine and the managers very nice.

Had a streetside room.There's almost constant noise of traffic, but as long as there's no honking, it is like white noise. The room was bigger than expected and super clean. Nice shower. Check in and out was perhaps the easiest I've ever had. The tube is a block away and there are ample food (both grocery and restaurant) choices around.

I stayed prior to undertaking the London to Brighton bike ride- I sorted out parking with the hotel- my numerous questions were answered promptly. (I changed my arrangements close to the booking). Marius at the hotel was extremely helpful- and the parking was very straightforward. The room was spotless, and it was great to have a fridge. Shower was hot and the bed was comfortable. I left very early for the bike ride and accidentally left the key and some of my belongings in the room. Marius and the cleaning lady (sorry I don’t know her name) we’re very helpful. Highly recommended hotel.

There was a strange odor in the bathroom, rather like cat litter. I couldn’t find a source but it was unpleasant to say the least. Otherwise, a comfortable and serviceable room. I especially appreciated the small vanity desk, mini fridge, and coffee station.

Check in was easy, and the overstay for a night was alright given the price, though I expect cleaning to include the entire room and not just the overall appearance, since opening a draw with old pretzel crumbs and droppings isn’t the most pleasant thing to see. The walls are quite thin, but the noise is tolerable generally. Not a bad place for a short stay, staff prepared the key and information quickly for us to know how to check in or if we had any issues, how we should contact them

I’m giving this property a 4 out of 5. Check in was staffless, I had to collect my key card from a lock box on-site. No problem with this. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. I think the property needs to invest in air conditioning for the rooms because I happened to be staying there on the hottest day of the year but it was miserably hot.

This hotel is super clean of that I’ve no doubt but the beds are rock hard and the water is tepid. Nothing makes up for this at all in my mind, it’s the e basics of a 3 star. When I also requested a room with a bath I was told there was one and I could have it but no one told me that the sacrifice would be the northern line underground rumbling under my bed until I finally slept in the early hours. This could’ve been flagged up as shower only beats noise pollution all the way! I get the feeling the owners of this hotel treat it purely in money and earning potential terms because they do not seem to care much about their guests

Very nice location near Clapham Common if you want to be more outside central London. Close to transit. The place was clean and easy to access. Only downside is it is on a main street with very loud vehicles driving by during all hours of the night.

I’ve stayed here twice before and this time was the best. I had an upstairs apartment with more square footage than similar hotels. Big kitchen and living room with two windows looking on to the street below. Separate bedroom and a shower with excellent plumbing and no fuss staff that left me alone. No issues whatsoever. Thank you Gateway. I’m sure I’ll be back!

Room was comfortable and very clean with tea/coffee making tray and fridge. The bathroom and shower was quite snug but all facilities were good. Was worried there would be traffic noise but didn't notice it and they supply earplugs. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel.

Nice large bathroom but the bed could do with a mattress topper as i could feel the springs . All was fine until our last night of stay when all the sockets in room cut out ! Left it as was so late & no one on site during the night to speak to . By the morning everything back on & working until after about an hour of waking up everything went off again! Went to reception on our departure to report the problem but no one there til 9am which was too late for us so left .

Cannot comment on staff as I didn't see anyone during my two night stay. In my room two light bulbs needed replacing, as did the light outside the bedroom door. The shower was very slow to drain and needs sorting. Minor points which I would have mentioned to a receptionist if there had been one. Otherwise all was fine - clean, comfortable and secure. Entry instructions very clear.

Overall, we had a good stay. I’d stay it’s on par with a b&b or hostel, rooms are very small without some basics (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) but it’s very close to the Tesco. Nice short walk to Clapham South. Only negative is that one night our ceiling started dripping and woke us up at 1:30 - we called the emergency line to no answer. I’m assuming someone found out we called because the next day when we got back someone had been in our room and made the bed and took the cup of water despite the do not disturb sign on the door, but completely unsure as no one checked up on us again and the drip stopped so we didn’t follow up. Overall, good stay for the price just wasn’t comfortable with someone coming in our room when we had the sign on the door.

I’m assuming someone found out we called because the next day when we got back someone had been in our room and made the bed and took the cup of water despite the do not disturb sign on the door, but completely unsure as no one checked up on us again and the drip stopped so we didn’t follow up. Overall, good stay for the price just wasn’t comfortable with someone coming in our room when we had the sign on the door.

It's a 'no-staff' hotel - so a minor faff on check-in working out how to get my key - and I couldn't get the telly to work ('needs re-tuning' was the onscreen message - but I didn't have the wit or patience to do that) - but apart from that - all plain-sailing and an excellent hotel for a very attractive price

Convenient location near Clapham South, Clapham Common, and shops and cafes, with good transport links into central London. Being on a busy road brings traffic noise for some.

Clean, convenient and good value for money. The hotel is on a main road and next door to a pub so in summer with the windows open is noisy. The area has great access to a variety of restaurants, coffee shops and bars in this vibrant area of London.

Great location near Clapham Common, tube stations into cente of London, and pubs and restaurants. Very comfortable room - good wifi, good heating (in mod-winter), compact but great bathroom, comfy beds, quite spacious. Good value for money for London. There was no reception desk and check-in was by key using a key box code but it all worked well.

Very nice location near Clapham Common if you want to be more outside central London. Close to transit. The place was clean and easy to access. Only downside is it is on a main street with very loud vehicles driving by during all hours of the night.

Had a streetside room.There's almost constant noise of traffic, but as long as there's no honking, it is like white noise. The room was bigger than expected and super clean. Nice shower. Check in and out was perhaps the easiest I've ever had. The tube is a block away and there are ample food (both grocery and restaurant) choices around.

Stayed at Gateway for an overnight stay in London and it was everything I needed it to be. Received a warm welcome (even though I was expecting to self check-in) and the room was clean, comfortable and had a very good bed. The whole process was easy and I will stay again, it's very close to Clapham South for the Northern Line and has an array of shops nearby. For the location and standard of the room the price was good quality. The only thing I'd recommend would be an upgrade on the shower, but it worked fine and won't in any way affect my decision to use the hotel again in the future

Hotel is in a convenient location for travel to Central London. Hotel doesnt offer breakfast but there are plenty of cafes to the left and right of the hotel which are very good. Hotel rooms are a little small but are more than adequate for a weekend away. The room we had was a double en-suite at the front of the hotel. It was clean, had plenty of tea/coffee and toiletries for our stay. We stayed two night and although we didnt expect it, the room was cleaned and made-up again for our second night which was a nice touch. The room was at the front of the hotel and being a hot night, we had the window open which meant there was some noise from the trafgic and nearby pubs but after an exhausting day in London, we were not disturbed for too long. Overall a very good hotel at a reasonable price with great facilities and super transport links.

Stayed in the apartment for a night as we were volunteering at Clapham Common for Moonwalk. Great base really close to the tube and a good range of local shops and facilities The apartment was very clean, well equipped and the perfect base. We were able to get our room just after 2 then head out for lunch before relaxing for a couple of hours before heading out. Having the full and well equipped kitchen was great as we stocked the fridge up with goodies for our late return and the makings for breakfast in the morning.

My friends and i were in town for the 2023 Moonwalk and needed a convenient place to stay following it. The hotel was great in that they contacted us and provided us with an earlier check in time so we were able to get a few hours sleep. The apartment was as described clean and functional with everything we needed for an overnight stay. Check in was simpke. We really appreciated our early check in. In the evening we enjoyed a short walk to Balham for a bite to eat. The Gateway was a perfect choice for us. Thankyou

4/5 Stars: Unbeatable Location, but Cleanliness Needs Improvement A 3-minute walk to Clapham South tube station on a main street packed with restaurants and shops. Twin room (17) had very comfortable beds, was clean with a small bar fridge and beverage station. WiFi worked fine throughout our stay. The self check-in process was smooth, following the emailed instructions for key card collection. However, the bathroom was dirty upon arrival; the bin was overflowing, there was hair in the basin and shower, and tissue left in the toilet. Located just a few metres from the busy street, so you get a lot of road noise. Internally, the soundproofing is poor—we could clearly hear people in the hallway, the slamming of the hallway fire door, and our neighbours in the next room. Although earplugs are provided, this could pose an issue for light sleepers. The room also gets quite warm so it might not suit those who struggle with the heat. We also hardly saw or interacted with any staff during our time there. Despite the noise and cleanliness issues, the transport links and comfort mean we would consider staying again, though it is not for those seeking peace, quiet, or cool rooms.

This was a great find. Room was basic but not undersold. The location is right next to Clapham South tube, so great travel connection. The accommodation grounds is a lovely building with small enclosed court yard. The staff were very helpful.
