Kingsgate Hotel Dunedin

Disappointing. We stayed there two months ago and thought it was good so we booked another night for this trip. The rooms are good and the bed is nice and soft. However, we didn't have any towels or bath mat in our room so I had to go to reception to get some. The breakfast that was provided the next morning was all disappointing. The hot food trays were empty and there were numerous people waiting for them to be topped up. We went for breakfast at 9:00am and there were still people coming in for breakfast well after that. The only hot food available was baked beans, scrambled eggs (which were overcooked) , some hash browns and sausages. There was no bacon provided this time or none was provided while we were there and we stayed for a good 30 minutes (mostly waiting for the food trays to be re-filled but they weren't). Other people just good fed up and left and you could tell they weren't happy. I'm sure the standards could not have dropped that much in the space of two months, maybe it was an abnormality but I don't think we will stay there again. Once you consider that you have to pay $15 to park there also, it loses the value for money proposition.

Travelling as a family of four, we were very happy with our room and the provided Wi-Fi. Master 11 finally got his chance to decide what to watch, as there was a family movie channel available (though there may have been others—we didn’t check).||The water was always hot, and we appreciated the sachets of tea and coffee. Some hot chocolate sachets would have been a welcome addition. A complimentary carton of milk was provided each day.||The beds and pillows were very comfortable, although the comfort was slightly offset by the noise coming through the walls from neighbouring rooms. On the first night, there was some noise, but it settled early. The second night was more disruptive, with a child in the next room shouting out sporadically until nearly 10pm. Thankfully, the third night was blissfully quiet—just the gentle murmur of voices at most.||Staff were welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. Breakfast was excellent, and the cooked portion in particular was perfection—thank you to the chef.||The hotel is within easy walking distance of evening eateries. We’ve stayed before and are likely to return. While we could hire a cottage in another town for a similar price, it wouldn’t include the bonus of breakfast—and we’d have to make our own beds and clean before leaving. That’s why we chose Kingsgate Dunedin for this holiday. Thank you, Team.

Older style hotel in the middle of Dunedin business district. Our room was on the 3rd floor with a view of the city. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom could do with a tidy up but was ok with no real problems. You are within walking distance to eateries and other services.They do charge $15 per night for parking if you have a car and parking on the street is almost non existent. We had no problems and probably would stay again if we were in the area.

Close to shops and eateries. Rooms comfortable but need toilet/shower/bath revamp. Breakfasts brilliant. Tried to bill us for delivered evening meals & drinks. From where? They don't have a restaurant. We ate out, each night. Don't know whether servicing a room means replacing towels only. Thought this also includes replenishing tea facilities & bed making. No! Not the one.

Loved the room me & my sister was in 208 the heater was beautiful the bath was gud just the towel rail was too high to reach the view was beautiful had no microwave or toaster no welcome pack or information on nearest shops or wifi. It's old but very beautiful & close to were my sister lived. Thank you.

We initially booked two nights. The weather was gale force winds when we arrived. The room while nice was cold as the wind was whistling through the gaps in the very old ranch slider. This hotel is very dated.|Duty manager agreed to change rooms, but the wind was coming thru the windows blowing the curtain and drapes. The heater just couldn't keep the room warm. Due to the severe wind and banging from the heater vents we rang reception at 3.00 am to advise we were checking out. Such a shame as this hotel was very good in its day.|Breakfast was cold, need to heat the plates as food to cold.

Very nice hotel for the price we paid. It is a bit tired but room was comfortable and spacious. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful.|Upstairs rooms were accessed by elevator, which made life easier.|Breakfast was good and the carving covering the wall at the end of the restaurant was exceptional.|Very well placed, being just at the top of the Octagon, where we found heaps of restaurants and attractions. Will be back again soon we hope.|,

Our room met expectations, coffee tea and mini fridge with some milk was provide and kettle-No cocoa, soaps and towels provided-No lotion, Sky TV was lovely to watch, balcony to walk on and get fresh air was lovely. other guests were noisy late in the night, the close CBD distance means listening to sirens and drunk people all night-I didn't sleep so good.... I will add caution with the shower/bath as it is shallow but lifted off the ground and the step down when you finish can be quite hazardous on tile floors-Guest should use caution and place floor and anti-slip mats, a stepping stool with may be beneficial for some
