I was staying here for three days while on a course. As per some of the other reviews, she is getting a bit tired and out dated (the building) but the staff and service out weighed the buildings condition. All the staff I dealt with were fantastic from the reception to restaurant staff. The food was as the menu. Says,... More

We stayed in the hotel for only one night. The accomodation was reasonably priced and everything was clean and tidy. However, the hotel is looking somewhat tired and worn and in need of some refurbishment. It is within a short walking distance from the main train station albeit uphill and located close to the Octagon and nearby cafes and restaurants.... More

Stayed in this hotel for three nights. In the process of refurbishment . My room had a new carpet and recently painted. In an ok location but on a steep hill. I did not try the restaurant located within the hotel. I noticed wifi prices very steep. The public library halfway down the hill gives free wifi to anyone, so... More

Stayed at the Kingsgate for two nights prior to new year. Found the hotel to be tired and dated. There was a sign in the reception and on each level as you came out of the elvators advising minor refurbishing was being carried out during November & December. There was no sign of any work being done. Carpet was threadbare... More

Had a nice stay here with myself and two kids for three nights. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean, fresh and comfy beds. Parking was fairly tight and we had to park on the street one night out of three, but this was free from 6pm to 9am. Did not use the restaurant. More

We stayed at the hotel for one night. The room was filthy and the window was too dirty to open. The toilet was not cleaned properly, we could see stain on the toilet rim. More

Whilst it is a bit tired, the rooms are roomy, the staff are always friendly particularly the restaurant staff. Functional, clean and good value. Definately not a 5 star but a nice homely stay if you are looking to relax. More

Normally, I would not have picked a hotel rated so low on the Trip Advisor ranking, but it was the only one of the three 24 hour open hotels listed (which was a requirement in this case), and the price was good (being half the usual rate). It is rates as a 3½ star hotel, which is reasonably accurate by... More

Booked an excellent value for money special which included room and great breakfast. Handy to the city area and quiet location. Good room with balcony and view over part of the city. Staff were friendly and helpful, Dining room was modern with a lovely carved wall mural at one end. Tv reception not good but otherwise a very pleasant stay. More

We chose this hotel for its location (v. central) and it was offering cheap rates. For the purpose of a brief one-night stay it was okay but I probably wouldn't stay there again. Why? 1. Very dated and tired furnishings. Table in our room had veneer peeling off. 2. Those ceilings!! What is with that - didn't like those at... More
