Gatehouse Studio Apartments by Sunlight Reviews

This is my third night at this location. You cannot beat it for value for money given it's location. Yes it's close to the railway so take ear-plugs. Will stay again.

Cheap but Trains are a problem in the morning, OK for 1 night.

The studio apartment was right on the rail tracks almost, so when a train went past it shook the whole building. However I had been warned and the trains stopped soon after midnight and didn't prevent sleeping. The equipment in the apartment was good and all one could ask for when away from home - oven, dishwasher etc - the only thing that was missing was cereal bowls! I hadn't realised for a few pounds more I could have stayed at apartments on the other side of the road which are of the same standard but quieter which is what I shall do in future. Reception staff very helpful.

We weren't expecting the gated entrance so took us a while to get in and then actaully locate reception!

Very nice room in a great location. Bed and bedding mediocre.
Yes the trains are loud and made the room shake but we were warned about that. Ear plugs a must.
I'd book it again.

Their closest rival is Marlin Appartments who are better value for money I think. Both very similar, modern, well equiped and clean. This one is very very very close to a railway line - as their web site warns - so expect train noise. Not a problem for me but some guys might be concerned. About 15 mins walk from London Bridge station and abit tricky to find in the dark. Recommmended.

Good points: Great location. Very good value for money. The apartment was very clean and had good facilities. We were worried about train noise given the notes and other reviews but it wasn't a problem at all.
Could be improved: Only a small gripe - we booked an apartment for 2 but it had the smallest double bed of anywhere I have ever stayed.

Room was clean and functional if somewhat small.

Very good apartment. Small, but did exactly what was required. Free wifi was highly beneficial, and should be a given nowadays.

Ideal for transporters - I actually really enjoyed staying in this apartment. Convenient location, train goes straight past i!

Excellent place for a night sleep. Train noise din't bother me although I had taken earplugs as advised by other users. I'd happily us these apartments again although I'd hesitate to take the kids as the trains probably would wake them up early. Also these apartments are behind security gates and if you ride a motorbike are absolutely ideal.

Room was nice, no cooking hob, only a mircowave and oven combo thing, but the biggest problem with the room I had was it was right next to the train track, when they went past it made the apartment shake and one morning I woke up, in my boxer shorts opened the blinds and there was a train about 1.5 metres away from my window parked there, the people on board must have had an unpleasaot nt view.
Oh and reception does not open until 8.30am, there is a post box you can put the keys in, but I could not find it, and it was not just me another lady wanted to check out and had the same problem.
If you get a room further away from the tracks, this would have been a great apartment room. Avoid rooms 112, 112a and 112b.

Excellent. Great location. Slightly hard to find the main entrance at night. Exposed brick work, great size, clean, friendly staff, excellent value. Will use again.

Very nice. clean appartment i got the double studio room. Not as noisy this time due to the trains but i did keep the windows closed.

This facility is incredibly close to the main line railway into London Bridge and as such is somewhat noisey... this is declared in the laterooms description for these apartments. Take a pair of ear-plugs and you'll get a great nights sleep.... there is the minor issue of hearing the alarm the next morning so remember to set your alarm on the loudest setting. The reception & booking staff couldn't have been more helpful. I'll definately use these apartments again.

I was asked to fill-in an electronic form with address information twice which I would suggest is unnecessary. Given my credit card information was already captured, from Laterooms, surely this information could also be captured?

Nice apartment but impossible to sleep as the trains run throughout the night and do not stop at midnight - 0530 as the descrpition says. A pity as the aprtment was clean and comfortable, and nicely presented.

Yes, there was lots of train noise and a few vibrations, I knew that before I booked it, so it wasn't a problem. The person in the next apartment was noisier, I have to say! The rooms have all that you need, adequately furnished and the receptionist was helpful. I would stay again.

Whilst full warning was given of proxilmity to rail way it was expected that suitable precaution against noise had been taken in construction. I found that was certainly not the case. Relaxing in the evening or trying to work was a non starter. Sleep was disturbed
