Without sounding like I am contradicting other reviewers here, this hotel can suit some people. If you are looking for luxurious or modern hotel, this is not it. Move on! If you are looking for clean room with exceptional (near fine dining) restaurant, this might be for you. The building is old. Everything thing about this hotel looks very dated.... more

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.

My husband and I stayed here on my birthday and it was so filthy. The bathroom had what looked like mold everywhere and the bathroom door was an old public toilet door. We asked to stay in a non smoking room but it smelt of smoke. The bed and furniture looked really old and smelt. The carpet was all mismatched... more

located smack bang in the middle of town, this was a nice, comfortable hotel. The rooms were clean and tidy and the staff I encountered helpful. They had a restaurant and a busy bar. 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.
