AVOID THIS PLACE

OMG what can I say that hasn't already been said about this dump. We had originally booked a twin room in the gate lodge. My friend arrived to the hotel first to be told that our accommodation had been moved to the waterfront . She was given directions to it, when she arrived there was nobody there so she just popped into the cafe next door to see if they knew anything and they showed her to her room. Instead of a twin room we were give a double room. The heating didn't work, the hot water tap didn't work, the shower only ran cold water . I went to the toilet and had to sit sideways on it because the loo was facing a wall and had no room for my legs🙈🙈I went down and insisted we be moved to another room. The lady moved us and kind of tried to say we were lucky because we had been given a bigger better room! She showed me how to turn on the hot water for the shower then as if I was some kind of idiot. The room had no tv which we were originally promised. I went to make myself a cup of tea that night and opened a milk sachet to find a blob of green mould. No breakfast the next morning although I'd say we had a lucky escape. Can't believe this place hasn't been shut down!!

Better off sleeping in a bin

Due to Troysgate not having hot water, they put us here. Words cannot describe how dirty and disgusting this place is. When you walk in all you can smell is dust and dampness. We got to our room, mouldy curtains, spiders on the bed, dirty stained bed, no ventilation and the door handle nearly falling off. This place would probably be only suitable for rats at best. For your health, DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!

MOST DISGUSTING PLACE EVER

This place is terrible would not recommend to stay here check reviews before booking this place.. the rooms were filthy, there was no running hot water.. the stairs was filthy when we arrived, nobody at reception. Was expecting breakfast the next am and got nothing! The street traffic and noise could be heard as walls were paper thin.. see mould and mildew all over the walls no ventilation.. 

Never again 

Arrived at 3pm to find the room wasn't ready despite advertising that it would be ready from 12pm.
Entrance hall was filthy with several flies and other bugs flying around. No reception or person at the door, so had to go to the top floor to find a staff member to talk to. Staff member told us it was her first day - we've since read other reviews and found out that she tells this story to everyone, presumably so some of her ineptitude is forgiven by guests.
No hot water, no towels, no toilet roll, dirty walls, dirty toilet and grubby bathroom floor. Only one plug socket in the room, which did not work.
The receptionist/cleaner/general dogsbody demanded cash payment upon arrival despite us already having given our card details and committed to a deposit. We were not prepared to pay in cash upfront for such a terrible room, so we ended up cutting our losses and booking elsewhere. 
Do not stay here.

Disgusting room and inept staff

We were here for two nights, when we arrived we were told that we couldn't pay with credit card unless we moved to another facility where the owner was, we were tired of the trip we paid in cash. We are shown the first room where inside there were workers at work, we decline even if they said that they would soon be finished. The second room is all right, except for the view of the city (view multi-storey parking lot). The first night of the shower tie only, the second night cold. In the evening the b&b is completely abandoned to itself and we had to get into a discussion with 4 drunk guests who at night were singing for us at the foundation. So finally we arrive at Booking.com.com.

Absolutely to Avoid

The only advantage of the Gate Lodge is the central and convenient location, both for visiting the city's attractions and for dinner. Beyond this, I feel like I do not recommend this arrangement altogether. In Ireland the economic arrangements are usually not particularly welcoming places but this one is really undignified. It is a facility but what is most white is the lack of care for guests: very dirty carpet, lack of adequate towels, locker room full of dirty toilet paper and a thin toilet, which is used by the city's old toilet and toilet, which is definitely missing something from the old toilet, and it's not possible to find a whole number of toilet paper, which is very dirty in the city.
