Although it was hard to find this hotel at night- needs a lit sign on the street front, staff were welcoming. The hotel is of its time but everything clean and comfortable. Rooms a good size, but bathroom ready for an update. It was a nippy night so would have liked an electric blanket on the bed, the wall heater... More

I'm a regular visitor to Wanganui for work and always find the staff friendly and helpful. My last visit was a stay for 4 nights. I didn't want to eat yummy and weight gaining restaurant meals for 4 nights, at my request the Manager put a microwave oven in the room for me. Thank you. I will continue to stay... More

Very friendly staff. We were well directed to our room but was really disappointed with the state of the bathroom - clean but very run down. Used the toilet and the push button broke so went back to reception. Was given another room key straightaway and shown to the next room by another friendly staff member. Another room in desperate...

We had a KIng Room, light and sunny overlooking the pool. Modern decor and very comfy. However most important we were given access to the room at 10.30 which was invaluable as we had flown form Auckland and had to prepare for a 2.30 wedding. Thanks a lot Kinsgate..

This hotel looked fantastic in their webpage. Lovely beds, all the mod cons. We booked a triple and got a room that should only have had a queen and single at the most and got a double and two singles all lined up in the same room with about 1 metre between each of the beds. No airconditioning and not... More

One night in Wanganui’s Kingsgate Hotel may be enough for many, but its 1970’s décor has some charm, although the bathrooms are very dated. The staff are very helpful and the rooms are clean, the beds comfortable and the room I had was upstairs (a studio superior I think with the awful gray bedspreads) looked out on to the extensive...

This was one of the more corporate hotels we stayed in during our holiday but served it's purpose in terms of location on route & quality of service. We had a very acceptable meal in the restaurant & all staff were very polite & friendly.
