I stayed at this hotel for one night (thank god!) and it was the worst hotel I experienced during my 18 days in NZ North Island. Check in looked promising, as the foyer in the main building was updated and the staff were friendly. I was in one of the outside 'motel-style' rooms which I never would have booked if... more

Stayed here for five nights while on business to Palmerston North. I was put in an economy room on the first night as no Superior rooms were available. When I arrived the Hotel looked virtually empty. Economy room is a cheap motel. Worst room I have ever had. Stayed in better places when I was a student. Rusty and dirty... more

Had this accommodation booked by a local when I had to be in Palmerson North for a couple of days on business. My initial impression from the outside when I arrived was not good - from the sterile soviet-style school of architecture. However, once inside the staff were very friendly and helpful. My room (in the tower block) was a... more

I have based my overall rating based on the hotel being a 3 star hotel (New Zealand Standard), my view is based on the rooms available in the "Tower Block" for the hotel, not the 2- 2.5 star outside "motel style units". Stay 24/07/09 - 25/07/09, 31/07/09 - 01/08/09 and 02/0809 -04/08/09 The Kingsgate Palmerston North offers great vaue for... more

Cheaper and better than your average New Zealand motel. It's a large rambly hotel complex right in the middle of town, that has a variety of different kinds of accommodation. For $84 the two of us got a room, two decent beds, the usual motel facilities and an excellent breakfast. The only downside was that the wireless internet was not... more

We stayed here for 4 nights in October 2008 as part of a New Zealand group tour. Without doubt your view of this hotel will depend on whether you’re sleeping in one of the tower block’s 73 rooms/suites or in one of the 78 motel-style rooms next door. We were in the tower block, where the rooms are basically OK,... more

Had to attend a conference in Palmerston North & stayed 3 nights here. The hotel is about 3* on the international scale. The room was clean & tidy but small & the hotel has limited choices to eat & drink. The staff were friendly & helpful but sparse. I.E. - there was no porter service & we had to carry... more

I was allocated a room in the 'annex', which comprises two additional blocks behind the main hotel building. These are two-storey structures with exterior walkways reminiscent of a cheap motel. The room itself provided basic amenities and was clean, but there was a smell of mildew, and the curtain linings were mildewed and torn. There is no mini-bar provided, but... more

After seeing the previous reviews for this hotel I have to say that I was rather reluctant to go to this place but due to management responses that a renovation had taken place I decided to give it a second chance to redeem itself. Well upon driving in the entrance I have to say my thought was "Oh no" as... more

We have just got back from a 2 night stay at the Kingsgate Hotel in Palmerston North . The Check in went well, and the staff are friendly, and the lobby is really nice, and clean with tiles on the floor and it looks nice and new and clean, but its another one of those "get people in the door... more

Management response from
Jacquiknight, Manager

We thank people for their feedback. The hotel is undergoing a long awaited refurbishment which started with 73 of the bathrooms and plans to move onto the guest rooms in the not too distant future. We apologise for the cleanliness of the bedding and have since implemented checks so that this can not happen in the future.
