We got a great deal on 3 nights, thought it looked good online, when we got to the hotel the outside and lobby is quite dated so we were a bit worried about the room condition, however the room looked recently remodeled, the bed was super comfy, the bathroom was a bit dated but not bad. Staff was friendly and helpful! I wouldnt pay for the buffet breakfast but if free with your room, not the worst way to start the morning. Overall happy and would stay again

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Property is in a great central location close to shopping, cafes and amenities. Room was clean with good view over the city. However, there is no acoustic insulation between rooms, I could hear next door yawning and talking on th phone very easily, it was weird. The wifi is super slow and the interior is old and tired and needs refreshing. Breakfast was good though for my week stay, there was no change at all in what was offered each day. Wouldn’t stay here again purely for the noise and wifi issues.

Good location, nice views but room is noisy.

Helpful staff, nice view, good location. But the walls between rooms are too thin, we hear neighbouring room chatting all night long.

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!
