stayed here on roadtrip down south. Was only looking to stay at motels however this place wad just as cheap. Easy walking distance to town and shops and bars. Ample free parking available. Hotel is dated but still ok if you want a cheap night

Stayed with a group of 8 on business. On checking in we realized that every booking had been charged a different price, the earliest bookings being the most expensive, and one that had no booking got bar far the cheapest. (Even though the day before 2 others were told they were fully booked!) to the credit of the reception staff... More

All of the other reviews are correct in that the hotel is a bit dated but the staff are very friendly and efficient. The rooms in the tower block were well maintained, clean and had everything you need. Big screen LCD TV although I did notice the reception on a couple of the SKY channels was not so great (noted...

Yes, the early reviews are right - this hotel is dated. However the tower rooms are quiet, clean, comfortable and have everything you need, including pleasant, updated bathrooms. We regularly stay here when in Palmerston North, and always get good deals on rooms, often with the appealing buffet breakfast included in the price. We have always had great service here... More

Was very disappointed with the first room I was allocated. Was one of the outside units, absolutely terrible, smelt, didn't feel safe and incredibly dated with a horrible bed. Understand I didn’t pay a lot but expected a little more. Staff were very kind and upgraded me which I appreciated. Restaurant is very expensive and didn’t look very nice. Very... More

Stayed here for a few nights on business, and was quite satisfied by the hotel. I could tell about 25 years ago - this place was probably the cream of the crop in the city, but it certainly hasnt been updated since. The lobby was nice and had an attaching restaurant. While the food was expensive and not a huge... More

Our room on the 6th floor was spacious and had a nice view. Bathroom was great. A big screen TV, but reception was poor on most channels. Bed and linen were tired and in need of replacement. A frayed rug on the floor didn't enhance. Air conditioner was out of action. Breakfast in the restaurant was good - fresh and... More

I went for a friend's wedding and stayed here for the weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday nights were noisy. Kids and younger people staying up late and others getting up early, eek! I.e. not great sleep though I had earplugs. Rooms are pretty aged, but clean enough for an average hotel. Having shared it with a friend made it value... More

Hi everyone. If you are looking for a quality hotel, reasonably priced and friendly staff I recommend this place. A booking I had at another accommodation was unable to take me so I ended up at the Kingsgate. Not only were the staff friendly, the food at the restaurant was superb and the waiters and waitress attentive and the food... More
