A below average stay
Check in was easy. I had emailed prior to try and book parking, but was not given a response to this apart from what the cost was. It was hard to understand the lady on reception. We thought the position would have had a better outlook, though it was closeish to the city centre. We had no view, except of the building site next door.

Friendly & Great Location
Kingsgate Hotel had friendly staff and fantastic location across the road from the Town Hall and close to the Octogan. Our room was spacious for the 3 of us and clean, however very tired and old decor. Breakfast was OK and appreciated they had gluten free options. Parking at $15 a night was pricey but plenty of parking on the street. A refurb/update would make this an awesome hotel!

Okay, could have been better
Staff were great, location a bit weird in that we drove passed the hotel, then had to double back. The room was badly laid out, furniture really heavy to move and there was no fixed lights, all free standing. Lift was old and clunky

Room needed better clean, under the beds hadn't been vacuumed for long time. Water mark down the wall indicated a leak from the roof. All looking tired.

Walking distance to everything!
Walking distance from everything. Great restaurants nearby. Hotel had an awesome breakfast with lots of options - food and staff were great! Parking spaces were tight and even though we paid in advance for parking, space was limited and other guests parked there so when we returned, there was no spaces left for us to park. Hotel reception did find an acceptable accommodation for our van though, so it all worked out.

Conveniently located, offering fantastic value, tidy rooms, clean bedding, and a functional bathroom, including lifts. The buffet breakfast provided all the usual and expected items. However, the car parking facilities could be improved. Since parking is charged at NZD$15, they should offer secure parking, such as pass access through a boom gate or similar. Walls were paper thin, we could hear conversations next door to us. Overall, it was a pleasant stay at a great price.
