I was happy with the room I booked as we could access it via a lift. The staff were super friendly, especially Trina who does breakfast and evenings. The breakfast surpassed our expectations. A five minute walk and we were at bars and restaurants. So location was great as well. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Little Family getaway

First stay at the Kingsgate and absolutely loved it. Close walking distance to the restaurants, and main shops. Friendly and accommodating staff. Comfortable beds and parking. Our little daughter loved the pool. We stayed here overnight before a day trip out to Urupukapuka Island. Will definitely look for deals here when we visit again, but will include the breakfast option.

They didn’t have good WiFi. It was in fact unuseable. Staff just made excuses but all guests we spoke to couldn’t use/connect to WiFi. I chose this hotel because it said WiFi - I had work to do as our stay was for 6 nights.

DON’T BOOK IF YOU NEED WIFI ACCESS.

Do not book this hotel if you require wifi, it does not work. The staff were apologetic and said management are aware of the problem but have not rectified it and this has been going on for a very long time. We have been travelling around new zealand for a month and have had no problem in connecting our uk phones to wifi in pubs, motels, cafes etc. so it is not a problem with our phones. We were paying over 300NZD per night for our suite but had to use the pub down the road to gain wifi access. On the upside its a good location easy walking to local bars and restaurants. The unit was clean but does need an update of new furniture as there were sofa beds to sit on which were very uncomfortable.
