Very impressed with the with the check-in. I was part of a group booking of a 100+ people all arriving at the same time. The hotel had organised this really well, it was streamlined and quick. The room itself was OK, rather dated decor, bed was comfy, clean for the most part apart from a dirty great big black long... More

Booked online . Greeted by reception who located my booking easily. Room was basic but clean and tidy. Parking great! Ate at the restaurant buffet which was a bit of a letdown. Fries were cold, and mains were limited! Soup and dessert were yum. I have stayed here several times over the years and never hesitate booking again! Thanks Kingsgate.

We stayed here for one night to watch waterpolo games at the nearby pool (400m away). We got a very good internet deal on the hotels web site that included full buffet breakfast. Room was large and spacious with a large bathroom- basic but adequate. Slight musty smell on arrival but sorted once we opened a window. Great pool and... More

Thank you for the comments. Our internet provider (Reivernet) are currently doing a survey to provide internet to all the accommodation wings of the Hotel. Currently the 200,300,400 wings only get wi-fi. As you mentioned 20 minutes free wi-fi is available each day in the reception lounge. Hope you enjoyed the water polo. Kind regards Murray Cook More

By chance, rather than by organisation, a whole lot of us families ended up staying at the Kingsgate while our kids played in NZSS water polo tournament across the road. Once we realised we were all staying together we decided to organise dinners for the players together, and staff at this hotel allowed us to take over some tables in... More

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the years. It is in a quiet suburban setting and a few minutes drive to the city centre. Staff are friendly and helpful, rooms spacious. It has the feel of an overgrown motel rather than a typical hotel. Overall the building design has not dated well and some of the maintenance... More

Stayed 1 night, 27 April 2013. This is not the most modern hotel and when it was built in the 1970's all the open space inside would have been so futuristic. However it appears to be well maintained. The rooms are large and have a good shower, clean and very fluffy towels. It seems to be in quieter area. All... More

Thank you for your comments and it is pleasing that you enjoyed your stopover in Hamilton. Of note the Hotel was built in 1997 and opened in 1998. However I understand your thinking in that in the 70's everything was big and spacious, as the Hotel is, and in more recent years space is a precious commodity and needs to... More

The reception staff were very welcoming. The room was a bit old fashioned but clean and fresh with a good shower room. It was nice and quiet too. My husband made use of the pool and enjoyed it. It was a bit annoying having to use a key to get into the building before you get to your room.

Spent a single night here on a Sunday. The facilities were fantastic - a full gym, two restaurants, 3 spa pools, an indoor pool, saunas and changing rooms. Well worth the price we paid. The rooms were clean a spacious. The staff were fantastic and extremely helpful. My only gripe is the doors to the rooms seem to not block... More

Thank you for the kind comments. Generally the rooms closest to the entry/exits to the accommodation wings do get some noise when the main doors close heavily. We ensure they do shut for security reasons but with your comment we will look at the closing system and assure it is adjusted properly, as it may be losing some of its... More

Thank you for your comments - you must have stayed just as it opened in late 1998. I have been at the Hotel for the last 5 years and in that time we have re-carpeted throughout the Hotel public areas and rooms (used to be red & orange carpets). We have replaced all the lounge, restaurant and rooms furniture, fitted... More
