AH Gateway is a very nice hotel located around the theater of all shopping you need. My junior suite and Superior King Suite was great. I will always like staying at this hotel. The front desk staff is amazing and professional.

The room is quite big, but the sound insulation effect is average. Maybe it's because it's close to the road, so it's a bit busy at night. There are many choices for breakfast, which is very rich. The hotel has direct access to the gateway mall, which is very convenient for shopping and eating.

No porters to help with luggage and lifts not working at times, no security upstairs outside reception or inside the hotel to deal with guests that were fighting.

We stayed over to do a running event the next day. Staff were really friendly and ever willing to assist. Just one issue with a door lock but they got onto it very quickly. They were also very kind to allow us a slightly later departure.
