My husband and I stayed at the Princes Gate Hotel for 3 nights recently and had a wonderful time. We loved the Victorian era décor through out the hotel. We had a room on the second floor which was beautifully decorated and had a balcony looking out onto the botanic gardens which was lovely. The staff were all very welcoming... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for one night recently. Fabulous old Hotel, really friendly staff, from Ian who showed us rooms and surrounds to Janet who was on reception. We relaxed on big leather sofas by the fireplace, enjoyed a glass of wine and then had a lovely dinner. We were upgraded, and had a room with... More

From time to time one has an unexpected and great experience. The Princes Gate Dinner and Cabaret Show is one. My wife booked us in and despite my apprehension it far exceeded my expectation. The food was great and the show very slick and professional. For$89 per person for meal and show this was terrific value Craig and his company... More

We booked online. Five stars and a good price. We were upgraded when we arrived. The staff were delightful. We had a room on the balcony.

This was supposed to be a romantic weekend away in a beautiful 5 star luxury hotel. No chance! The first thing that struck was how poorly finished the room was, the carpet was ripped in one place and had been badly patched in another. The wall paper was peeling in places. The paint work of the occasional table was chipped... More

We were very surprised that the hotel had a five star rating. When we walked into our room we found it dull with a very small bathroom. There were cobwebs and the curtains didn't shut properly. However, it was very cozy and warm, the bed was exceptionally comfortable and the location is perfect. Although the restaurant echoed and it was... More
