They staff were lovely and welcoming during our one night stay. We stayed here because we saw a show at the Gateway and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. It's not 5 star but had what we needed.

Laura Australia

Staff were so very courteous and welcoming. Very clear on charges etc

Catherine Australia

The room was very clean with modern fittings and the bathrooms were exceptional. The light fittings were stylish and added to the relaxed feel. The kids enjoyed the free wifi and Netflix too. Very unassuming from the exterior but we were pleasantly surprised once inside.

Katrina Australia

Good communication prior to arrival. Check in was easy with clear instructions to our room. We ordered room service - there was a query with our order which was dealt with in a friendly manner and the meals were served promptly. Our meals were cooked well and tasty. Once we worked the air conditioner remote out, the heater worked well.

Lara Australia

we have stayed at gateway hotel before and it was definitely a nice surprise to see that the hotel had had a Reno/upgrade and is much more updated and stylish everything looked amazing.

Kaitlyn Australia

This is an excellent place to stay, since we had to board an early flight from Avalon airport. So close and convenient.Also enjoyed the buffet selection from Feast a restaurant all under the one roof of the gateway hotel. Would definitely do this again in the near future.

Roger Australia

Very nice place to crash for the night. Staff were very friendly and the room service was great. The food was pretty good too. No complaints.

Sundeep Australia

Room cleanliness Quietness of room Excellent buffet

Neil Australia

Plenty of space. Comfy bed. Good facilities in the room. Nice modern bathroom. Parking right outside door. Free drink on arrival.

Amanda Australia

Lots of parking space, easy check-in and check-out, friendly staff, very clean rooms and bathrooms. And most importantly the room we got was exactly what we booked, 4 beds for 4 people (I've booked at other hotels before and instead of giving us the amount of beds I booked, they've given us double beds for 2 people to share, very annoying)
