Gateway 1 star
Moved to a sister hotel due to overbooking by Gateway. Sister hotel was cheaper by €30. I was told to take it up with my booking agent.
VERY poor customer service. I reached out 3 times to reservations in the Gateway.

Lovely bar staff , reception staff
Staff are very friendly, they do put advertisements in the lifts that they do not
Honour which I found very naughty

Smelly shower drain
Good food, good service. Shower drain in room had a really bad smell. Would expect housekeeping to have it sorted before letting the room out to paying customers.
