There is a plaque on the wall as you enter the Kingsgate in Palmerston North commemorating the official opening of the building by the NZ Tourism Minister in 1986. Decades on, it remains relatively untouched -which is, for the visitor, a bit of a slap in the face. Whilst the hotel is only a 3 star property it doesn’t necessarily... More

I've stayed here several times now. I always get the slightly nice (read "bigger") queen room in the tower. Always clean and tidy with all the necessary amenities. Love the location and the parking space!

Little on the old side but nice and clean, bed was a bit soft but got a good nights sleep,in a good place for staying in PN,didn't have any meals there ,went to a wedding.We stayed on the 6th floor nice views rooms a good size

Room was nice and clean and staff were nice but th place was a bit soleless and dated I thought. I was in plamy North for work so not sure how exciting it was supoosed to get but it could have had 'something' more.

Room was dated and small bathroom clean but tired and small. Location nice handy to city and shops. The price was $89 so this is fair for the quality of the rooms.

I paid $89 for the standard room and $119 for the superior room. I would have paid about 2/3 to 3/4 the price of each... More

We stayed the night of 16/17 March 2012 - the rooms are very tired and need repainting, the beds are dreadful, as my husband has a damaged shoulder at present we requested a room with an extra b ed, not much help as it was about 2 feet wide and the mattress must have been 20 years old, the blankets...
