Nice and tidy, reasonably friendly staff, hard to fault the place. I've stayed twice now on business and it's adequate - as in, it's good value for the money you pay, which isn't a lot. I'd like to try the restaurant next time, perhaps Kingsgate could give an incentive to do so? Hotel restaurants are as a rule, expensive -... More

I never actually got to stay at the Kingsgate Hotel in Wellington, because I never got past the booking process. A promotional deal came up on another website for the Kingsgate Hotel, and I figured that I would ring and check room availability for the weekend I was in Wellington before buying the deal. When I rang, the lady on... More

I'm staying in the Kingsgate Hotel in Wellington after having spent the past few nights in sister hotels in Auckland and Rotorua, and I am very dissatisfied. First of all the rooms in Rotorua were much larger and much more cozy, and the rooms in Auckland while not much bigger were still much more comfortable from the size and quality... More

Dear Shalo86, Thank you for your recent feedback on Tripadvisor. Firstly i would like to apologise that the level of service was not up to your expectations. While the hotel has been recently upgraded I can understand that not everyone would like the style and colour of the rooms but so far the feedback has been quite positive. With regards... More

I have stayed regularly over a year and a half and always find the staff providing excellent customer service. The rooms have all that is needed o be comfortable but what really makes this place are the staff, especially, Amy, Charissa, Chathu, Fien, Iva, Jamie and Monique. All of the staff tend to make the stay feel more like home,... More

got a deal that included free parking, however both times when we came back to motel there were no parks left, totally inadequate parking facilities and would not recommend this place to anyone with a vehicle. wifi very expensive, but room was ok although tv reception was very poor on sky channels.
