I was just passing through on my way to Fox glacier so this wasn't a destination. The hotel is tired and the room was worn, The food in the bar was expensive and not very good. s with most New Zealanders the staff was friendly, but it was expensive for what it was. more

We were booked into the Kingsgate Hotel as part of our 3 week NZ tour and arrived after a very long drive, late in the evening. We checked in and took the lift to our 'superior room' and were horrified by the smell as we stepped out of the lift onto the second to top floor. The smell was revolting;... more

The worst hotel we stayed at out of a three week tour of New Zealand!.We tried spraying aftershave around to counteract the stale sweaty smell.The room was small,totally dated and very depressing.Try somewhere else more

Having arrived in Greymouth without pre booking accommodation on the weekend of their once a year coast to coast race, we weren't left with much choice for accommodation. After trying all the motels on the highway we found Kingsgate. I have to say we should have kept driving. We took a premium suite, costing $ 150.00 NZ per night. The... more

Stayed here for one night in a standard twin room (there are superior rooms, too, according to the hotel). It has a good setting across from the estuary, though any scenery is pleasant rather than spectacular. The hotel is OK, but very ordinary: ordinary rooms, ordinary restaurant, ordinary food. There are very few other options in Greymouth, as it seems... more
