“Very pleased with our economy room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

We were very pleasantly surprised with our accommodation at Kingsgate Palmerston North.
Santa was especially kind with the rate we paid at Christmas, however quite apart from that we were very happy with the cleanliness and space in the room. Clearly with an economy room you don't expect first class facilities, however the standard was better than we were expecting.

The staff were very pleasant, and proximity to the centre of town is a bonus.

I would happily stay there again.

Room Tip: Economy rooms are not in the main (tower) block, however still within the same complex and with park...

“Walking distance to Town”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

* We stayed in a room on the 5th Floor. Below us was a chimney / vent which I guess was for the Air conditioning unit . It was extremely noisy at night.
It was a very warm night & we would loved to have been able to open a window & let in fresh air but this was not possible due to the chimney noise.
* Staff all very friendly.
* Great breakfast
* Handy proximity to everything

Room Tip: Don't stay in the Rooms that are above the Air Conditioning vent / chimney ( ie Room 504 ) as...

“2 nights in Palmy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

Our daughter was studying at Massey and when we visited we stayed at the Kingsgate. This time, as always, it was convenient, economical and clean. It is a little tired and dated, but at the price we paid, I'm not complaining. We had little contact with staff but what we did have was efficient and courteous. Wouldn't be my first choice for a romantic getaway, but then again who goes to Palmy for romance? All in all, it was fine.

“Great Staff, windy city, Too much chlorine in Spa pool”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

The staff of this hotel are great and very helpful. We were allowed to check in earlier (this was great as we have been driving all night)
The city itself had crappy weather and there was too much chlorine in the spa pool. We didnt last 5minutes as the chlorine excess was making our eyes tingly

“Poor”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

I have stayed here before and enjoyed my visit but my last stay was bad. A dark ,cold damp room in poor condition ...not good at all. I will be looking elsewhere for my next visit. You need to spend some money and bring these rooms up to date.The worst hotel stay I have had in 5 yrs in NZ !

Room Tip: Only stay in the tower
