Good location, nice views but room is noisy.
Helpful staff, nice view, good location. But the walls between rooms are too thin, we hear neighbouring room chatting all night long.

A below average stay
Check in was easy. I had emailed prior to try and book parking, but was not given a response to this apart from what the cost was. It was hard to understand the lady on reception. We thought the position would have had a better outlook, though it was closeish to the city centre. We had no view, except of the building site next door.

Friendly & Great Location
Kingsgate Hotel had friendly staff and fantastic location across the road from the Town Hall and close to the Octogan. Our room was spacious for the 3 of us and clean, however very tired and old decor. Breakfast was OK and appreciated they had gluten free options. Parking at $15 a night was pricey but plenty of parking on the street. A refurb/update would make this an awesome hotel!

Okay, could have been better
Staff were great, location a bit weird in that we drove passed the hotel, then had to double back. The room was badly laid out, furniture really heavy to move and there was no fixed lights, all free standing. Lift was old and clunky

Room needed better clean, under the beds hadn't been vacuumed for long time. Water mark down the wall indicated a leak from the roof. All looking tired.
