When arrived, it smelled like moisture and there is rust on light fixtures and metals. Hook for the bathroom towels are broken , no shampoo, no soap in the dispenser. The room was warm and hard to adjust, floor kept cracking all night, tv is in green and blue Colors only. It was by far our worst hotel ever
3.0
The service was great with thir many texts and communications prior to the stay and after.
However, there is an event room right next to the rooms and I the DJ and the men outside the room kept me awake until 2AM. Great place but check before if they have an event. They give you earplugs but it's not enough.
Cute room, adults only (yeah!! :) ) clean!! If it wasn't for the party event it would have been great!

We were left completely alone for 4 days. There was no staff on premises. Contactless check in/out and no one available on site if a guest needed something (especially after hours). No shampoo in our room upon arrival. Our TV didn’t work. We discovered this in the evening so no one on site to deal with this. If this had been disclosed on their website or in a guidebook, we would have chosen a different hotel.

Great location and room was very spacious. The bathroom was large and great shower. However, it would have been beneficial to have a larger fridge and one that is cold. It would have been great if there was a microwave in the room.
4.0
Overall I was very disappointed. The room etc was nice. The hotel had no staff, it was self check in and confusing. No elevator, so you had to climb a large flight of stairs to get to a key pad, this makes the hotel not suitable for many guests in my opinion. The hotel room was noisy, they provided ear plugs. Additionally the back out curtain was broke on the main window, and the side windows just had silver blinds that kept no light out at all. If they would have had any staff in the hotel I would have asked for my money back.

It’s a great place to stay. The no contact check in is a little confusing but it worked out well.
8.0
It was a nice spacious room. It is quite loed though as the pub/restaurant is directly underneath the hotel. No lift, you need to carry your baggage up the stairs. Blinds in the room leave lots of light through (bring a sleep mask if you need it dark to sleep). Mini fridge didn‘t work. But the room was very big and the bed big and comfy! Receptionist was also very kind and helpful.

Great location as the property is located downtown and surrounded by many restaurants. The room was on the third floor and there is no elevator so we brought just what we needed, however the room was modernly furnished and the bed was very comfortable. Did not like having to provide a picture of a government issued id. in order to get a keycard through the virtual checkin.

This was a great bputique hotel stay. St. James Gate has great rooms and atmosphere. We were a bit last minute in booking but once we figured out the no-reception check in it was great

6.0
The room furnishings/style/decor were good, clean and comfortable. However it didn't have a window to the outside of the building. It had a window overlooking the downstairs bar/restaurant. St James Gate is a popular bar that presents live music. It's a great place to hang out but that means the noise impacts the room until the bar closes (around 1pm). Otherwise the room was quiet and I didn't experience much noise from other rooms. I did find it to be a good experience, but people should be prepared for the impact of the bar below. The bathroom was modern and good but the shower has only one setting. The fan in the bathroom was loud, not an issue for me but may bother some. Overall, I would recommend the hotel, and may stay there again.

I recently stayed for 2 nights. The first night was great however the second night the event centre attached to the hotel (second floor) was so loud till after 2AM that it was unbearable. I wish I would have known this before I would have asked for a higher floor or booked different accommodations.

Great stay at James Gate. Stayed there due to attending private event on site. Very nice hotel overall. Quiet, despite being located above a pub. A bit convoluted to get in nd out (two accesses, not entirely clear), and barely existant front desk. Despite this, very nice stay - well appointed room, heated floor in bathroom (it felt heated). Very conveniently located. Would definitely recommend for a short stay like mine.
4.0
The room was nice and big, but it absolutely needs blackout drapes and better sound proofing. Outside lights lit up the room at night, even with the blinds closed. Woke up thinking someone was in the room when it was only people outside the room.

I would just say that it’s confusing to find the right door to go in initially. They have this big sign above an outside door that says it’s the hotel entrance, but that’s not the first entrance you need. That’s only for AFTER you get your room key. It’s the doors two down to the left. But other than that things were fine, but I wonder how things may have been different if there had been an issue with no front desk staff to call on.i would stay again though, overall good experience.

Great stay, nice room, clean and comfortable. Only complaints are that 1) there is no privacy for the toilet, it is visible directly through the shower from the room and 2) the entrance to the hotel is not clearly marked as there are three doors labeled hotel entrance, only one of which allows you in. Now that I know, I’d gladly stay again though.

Online check in not user friendly. It took 2 phone calls to the hotel number to make it work. Otherwise a good experience

The room was lovely and comfortable, the process of checking in and getting keys was fairly easy. Would suggest maybe a microwave in the rooms (there was none in mine) -- ordered food from the restaurant downstairs and would love have been able to reheat leftovers. Otherwise, excellent!

Very quaint hotel but rest assured you are on your own. Everything is done through email ... we loved the room. Very clean and the price was excellent. However no parking so you will pay for parking off site. Also no elevator that we saw and we were on the third floor ... maybe we just missed it ... the stairs were good exercise thought :)
5.0
Great and modern rooms. Beds a little too hard for me but that’s subjective… Simple system to access the room and right downtown. Parking across the street was free !

Great location. Nice little boutique hotel, by only issue was there was no elevator. Difficult carrying luggage up 2 flights of stairs

Absolutely loved our stay! We stayed in the executive suite, which had an awesome large tub to relax in and a comfy king size bed. The restaurant was ridiculously good, like mouth watering, licking plate clean good. Would highly recommend and will absolutely be returning.

Quaint little suite close to everything. Clean but a musty smell. Hopefully not an issue throughout the night with allergies.
