An up and down stay
Check in was a very frustrating experience. Apartment was not at the advertised address and even though staff were aware we required an early check in or baggage storage, we had to wait 2 hours to be let into the building and check in. Staff were also hard to get in contact with as there is no reception. The room itself was tidy. However, you can tell it has been a cheap renovation. Additionally, our bed was broken when we arrived. We couldn’t get this fixed until the next day. Also, another thing to be weary of is that the walls are quite thin. So you can hear quite a bit of noise through the night. Other than this is apartment was okay and it was handy to have a kitchen and washing machine. Also, it was very close to a tube station which was very convenient. Overall was an okay stay but would not stay here again. Much more convenient to stay in a hotel.

The Non-existence Accomodation by CityGate Tower B
I have booked and paid for Citygate Tower Bridge, 50 Vine St London EC3N 2JY, and expected to stay in this accommodation, instead they allocated an apartment that is not what we paid for in -112 Whitechapel High St London E17PU. The bed was so bad that we can felt the metal spring. The next day I have to contact Hotel.com and made a complaint. This is a warning to future traveler who wants to booked this accommodation ....Citygate Tower Bridge, 50 Vine St London EC3N 2JY does not exist. Stay away from this accommodation. Read the reviews from other travelers who had the same bad experience. I wish I did.

Questionable safety
This would have been an overall good experience if someone hadn't tried to get into my room while I was in there. I had just come back from spending some time in the city when someone unlocked the door and tried to open it. Luckily I had the safety latch in place so they were unsuccessful. Or what if I had been out and my belongings were all there? I tried to contact the host and asked if someone tried to enter but they still haven't replied or even apologized. Because of that reason alone, I would never stay here again. Communication wasn't too bad. They finally contacted me back the day of to give me the appropriate address because yes, it's not 50 Vine Street. I was on the 19th floor so noise from the metro wasn't an issue. It was nice having it so close by however. View from the hotel/apartment was very nice.

CityGate TowerBridge - Not the location advertised
When you book CityGate Tower Bridge, you may or may not be getting a place at the listed address (50 Vine Street, , City of London). I our case the address of the unit we stayed at was 11-12 West Smithfield, London. I guess the 50 Vine Street location only has single king size beds. I got an email from them with instructions on how to get the keys to the place. In my email, I provided my travel plans and told them we would call when we arrived in London. On the day we were to check in I got a call about noon from the company asking about or travel plans...hey guys, check your email. I told them that our train arrives at three and we should be at the property at four, but we will call from the train station. Our train was about 45 minutes late and we called when we arrived at the station. The agent wondered where we were since they had someone waiting for us at the property since three. We previously told them we would call when we arrived. We made it to the property and the representative was upset that she had to wait so long...again not our fault. She gave us the key and left. The unit was ok...however there were no linens for the second bed. Also the street scene in the neighborhood is very vibrant with several pubs. Which is great unless you are trying to sleep. The unit has no AC and no fan. If you open the windows, you get all the noise from the street as well as a good dose of cigarette smoke. This place was good, but nothing special.

Comfy aapartment, morning market is a bit noisy
I will start off as others have said: booked it thinking we were staying at Tower Bridge. Found out later we were staying at Farringdon which was a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, apartment was clean and full kitchen available. If you are staying longer and want tv, it's tiny and reception is a bit dodgy. Thankfully, that's not what we were in London for. Bed was comfy. Overall it was okay. I knocked some points off due to the lack of clarity of apartment location and also the market noise. It is a night market so lots of hustle and bustle and noise from trucks unloading and loading all night.

Fab little apartment in a great location
Really nice little apartment, although did not look like photos which were shown when we booked. It was very clean and in an ideal location - not far from the tube, good bus links and easy to walk to more central parts of London. It was noisy in the evening but we did have to have the windows open as it was so warm. We used it more of somewhere to sleep so didn't spend much time in the apartment. Overall good, and would stay again

City Gate Apt - great location, not get apt.
Please be aware that the apartment is not located at 50 Vine Street, the address is 31 Monument St. This can be confusing and frustrating. The location of the apt, however, is ideal. It is walking distance to almost all sites and the tube is literally 2 mins from the apt. The only issue we had was the apt itself. It was not the cleanest nor was there any AC so the apt was very hot on our first night in London.

The apartment was okay, a bit worn but clean. Communication with owners very difficult. Communication with Hotels (yourselves) absolute rubbish. Three different Hotels staff, on three different occasions, promised to call me back and never did. Will never use your website again. YW

Nice, but noisy.
Apartment was very nice to stay in with all amenities needed for a nice stay, but was very noisy from the street and the blinds are fairly transparent so the sun was shining into the bedroom at about 5am. Not having a reception made it a little difficult to check into the room, also, the host did not speak much English at all. The hotel is also no where near the address that is stated on Hotels.com and not where we were expecting the hotel to be at all. Nor are there signs out the front with the hotel name which made it even more difficult for check in.

Could have been so much better.
We were given extremely short notice that they would meet us at an apartment we hadn't booked without even acknowledging they had changed our booking. Ineffective curtains meant the bedroom was full of light from 4:30 to 21:30 daily. The apartment block and our apartment were very hot al the time. Adjusting the thermostat had no impact. Wifi would not work so we had to buy data at extra expense. We're met by non english speaker at apartment who was not able to explain anything about the apartment to us. They have not responded to my complaints emailed to them midway through our stay. Bed was excellent (but light and heat made it difficult to sleep). Could have been so much better given quality of apartment.

Amazing Location
I enjoyed my stay during a 3-day tour in London. The apartment hotel condo unit is fully equipped for all the things needed (timeshare style). & has an amazing view of the city both day & night. Everything is convenient (public transportation, grocery stores, coffee shops, etc.). It is basically located in the Heart of the City nearby the best tourists spots. It is a must return price wise as well.

WARNING - Not in the area advertised
Advertised as Tower Bridge, location some 3 miles away in a much worse area of London. Not very happy! Apartment was fine but has no reception, they wanted to charge me for late check-in. Late is any time after 6. Apartment itself is fine but the blackout curtains were 5 cm too small for the window at either side. That left the bedroom bright enough to read in from 5 am. Again, not very happy. The apartment was quite spacious and quite clean. Nothing in the way of consumables like dishwasher tablet or kitchen roll. Location is everything in London. Can’t recommend as they did not make it clear that the apartment was in a completely different location.

Location, location, location.
The location was awesome. 5 minute walk to Tower bridge or the Tower of London. Confused on the pictures where the apartment was, so we found ourselves feeling stranded outside 50 Vine Street, which was a couple of blocks from the actual location. Tried calling and emailing to find where we were supposed d to be, but no one responded. The website also shows a picture of Farringdon tube station, so, the assumption is that is the closest one, however it was Tower Hill station ( which also 5 minutes away ). The kitchen was nice and a nice to stay connected with the wifi.

Citygate-Londinium Tower apartment
A very clean little apartment in a great location. We did experience difficulties getting in contact with them, however when we did we got access to the apartment an hour or so earlier which was great. The bed and pillows need updating. Double bed that is so soft you can feel the springs and pillows that are almost flat. Reception for TV was very poor and wifi only worked for 1-2 days. On our last night we had no access to wifi which was really bad as we needed to check our train booking. Overall it was reasonable and would be okay for a short stay. The apartment has a small kitchen, bathroom and nice lounge/dining area, plus small balcony in a secure building. Can only give this 3 stars as after a long day you want to have a great sleep. Noise isn't a problem but the bed just didn't allow for a nice peaceful rest.

My partner and I stayed for 3 weeks in the apartment. It has everything that one needs to have a home away from home during a business trip. Especially compared to other options in the same price range in the area. We would stay here again. The team from Citygate was available when needed and everything went as discussed and agreed.

Clean but incredibly noisy traffic and neighbours.
Apartment is clean but has thin windows so, despite being on the 17th floor, we were woken about 10 times a night be emergency vehicle sirens as they negotiated the busy traffic junction outside. In addition the neighbours held very loud parties with shouting and loud music twice during our three night stay (on a Monday and Wednesday night), keeping us awake until 3 a.m. The curtains are very thin (you can see traffic through them) so I suspect that light sleepers would be woken by sunrise in the summer. Towel and pillows are limited to one each for two people and no facility to get any more. The lady who checked us in was probably lovely but couldn't help us at all because she didn't speak any English. I was exhausted by the end of our stay. I would not stay here again.
