Excellent location. Me and my

Excellent location. Me and my partner stayed there while it was raining. we went for a walk around the complex, and found over 10 buckets collecting drips. The front wing with the superior rooms are above average, and would only recommend staying in those. On the downside room was a little dirty, especially when you find other peoples hair located in the bathroom and next to the bed. Breakfest was not very fresh at 9.30am, i do understand it closes at 10am, but expected better. other than that; 3 out 5.

The room we got didn't look like

The room we got didn't look like the one in the picture when we booked it, a bit run down. Mentioned this to the staff at the front desk and got upgraded to a superior room at no xtra cost. Staff all very friendly and helpful would be happy to stay again. Good facilities.Great location.

Ordered a cot, and it was not

Ordered a cot, and it was not in the room/not delivered as advised. When questioned reception, were told it 'should' be there. Vending machine didnt work - no out of order signage. Rooms are very tired- but value for money not too bad. Do something about those scrambled eggs- they are artificial and tasteless. Breakfast staff, very laid back, but reception & bar good.

Poor service at front reception

Poor service at front reception upon check in.Standard room not the best for a family,crowded.Asked reception for upgrade to superior room , was told not suitable for 2 adults & 2 children,brochure shows different.Very noisy at night in hotel, drunken adults walking in hallway yelling at 1.00am on 1st night & 3.00am 2nd night.Not much food variety in breakfast buffet.We as a family would not recommend this hotel to friends & family and we would not stay there in the future.

Impressive foyer but hallways

Impressive foyer but hallways and rooms we viewed were old and tired. Initially given hideous cabin-style room. We complained and were given a free upgrade to more recently renovated room but with small second bed. Shower tiling very dirty. No newspaper delivered to room. Our complaints were handled well but overall not a good experience. Would not personally give repeat custom to a Kingsgate Hotel.

We were very pleasantly surprised

We were very pleasantly surprised when we entered the Hotel as the outside is yet to be upgraded, and wasn't very inviting, but once inside there has been alot of work done. The room was very good and staff excellent

Apart from the general smell (sulphur)

Apart from the general smell (sulphur) which can't be helped everything was excellent. We had the pool to ourselves and were singing away quite happily. Also enjoyed the gym. We were on a budget, but we got an excellent deal....would recommend this hotel to others for sure.
