This hotel is not easy to find. We used GPS to find the address, yet we missed the building a couple of times. Later on we were told by another guest that the GPS unit may find it difficult to determine the location due to the design of the city. First impression of the hotel: very limited parking available. They... more

This hotel is in a great position in the city centre. Rooms are quite roomy and comfortable, bed was average, they need new pillows. The staff however were something else, from the initial check in, not very friendly or hospitable, I felt I was imposing and should be somewhere else. Information requested was slow to come to hand. The breakfast... more

The Kingsgate is an older place in need of a makeover. We were a bit put off by booking a non-smoking room and having to walk down the closed in, and very obviously smoking hallway to get to our room.

Got to this hotel after a 10 hour drive along Southern Scenic Highway. Beware one way system that the hotel is in. Made very welcome at front desk and room was just what was needed after long drive. more

Situated on a steep hill going out of town, although not far from the octagon. 20 minute walk from bus station, preferably get a taxi. Room clean and comfortable. Facilities for washing and drying laundry. more

We stayed the night of February 17th, parked our car as directed by the signage and went about our business. The next morning , we found a rather significant dent on the left rear corner panel of our rental car. There was no note left on the car. I immediately contacted the general manager, a Mr Andrew Whittaker, who happened... more

The interior and exterior of this hotel was tidy but not flash. Definitely needs done up. The staff were friendly and helpful. We booked a package that was to include bubbles, premium chocolates and breakfast (tranquility package, $149). I'm not sure we received the chocolates - unless they meant the two after dinner mints (which hotels often supply anyway). The... more
