Pros +
- Even though there was a booking mix up ( not their fault) the manager sorted everything out very professionally
- The staff where welcoming and when I requested a last minute change to my booking they were able to accommodate it. Room and facility was beautiful and clean, the view from our room was beautiful and the location was very good, in the town area and near some of the attractions and activities. Great for those traveling with families.
- Great location, facilities were adequate and clean.
Cons -
- The major problem was their internet. It was a complete and utter disaster!! They initially claimed that they were having an unusual prolem and they were working on it. But as time passed it became clear this was untrue. The disgnostics clearly pointed to an inadequate server system to cater for volumes required by a large enterprise like this. They finally resorted to giving us and others a pre-printed docket with a number to call in order to get help. When it was pointed out they should be doing this themselves there was no sensible response. Before we left, a friend of ours who knew somebody who had worked at the hotel confirmed that they had always had problems with their internet and relied upon people "giving up" and using their own mobiles. As an international visitor that option was not available to us so we had to suffer accordingly. We will never return unless we can be certain they had installed a new upgraded internet system. Great shame as otherwise the hotel did a great job in a great location.
- I'd have liked a microwave in the room, that would have been a super amenity. But I knew what I'd ordered so no complaints.
- Television was tiny.

Couldn't have had a better location. On the waterfront and just a few minutes walk to Paihia's sites. Parking was at the door .The room was nice and the beds comfortable. And the staff was helpful.

Room was large and bed was comfortable.
Television was tiny.
Everything about the stay was amazing apart from the weather but we a wonderful weekend not much entertainment for the weekend,food was great at the.hotel but expensive at other places will come back again
Nothing really Totally enjoyed our weekend Would come back again
We had room 401 spposit the sea a very quiet room and cozy we slept well and enjoyed all the facilities
there was roadworks at the time in front of the room on the main road seawall
Not a lot
Pool was out of order,room was average for the cost. Jug was a fire hazard wouldn’t stop boiling had to play around with the tv cords to get it to work, beds didn’t get made while we were away.
The location, directly on the waterfront. Spectacular views over the bay towards Russell.My room 408, was great, spacious and clean . Lovely having a balcony.
The sofas were uncomfortable to sit on, as they were sofa beds.. need more cushions.Also the fridge was broken, as you couldn't put you drinks in the side of the door as brackets broken.
Perfect location. Central to restaurants, shops, and all recreational activities
Breakfast was good
No soundproofing in the rooms. People in other rooms were also vey annoying.
Location, location right on the Beach front, and close to village centre
One or more of the doors didn't have slam protection, consequently other guests were slamming doors
Rooms were clean and tidy.
Sadly the games room and pool area were out of commission due to weather events, I understand this is out of the control of Kingsgate however it was the main reason for us choosing this property. Lobby hallway and stairwells could have been cleaner. Rooms dont have cutlery, plates or other useful utensils.
Great location, near to the town center with plenty shops.
It was really noisy and you can hear loud banging from the people at the gym.
Location.
Layouts of room. Choice of placement for things ie table right at door.Soap dispenser in jib.
Great location,easy walk to all amenities.Lovely breakfast staff, very welcoming, great food.
Parking - cars parked in room allocated areas.
Location is Big! Walking distance to everything. Front view is awesome
Didn’t enjoy the narrow stairs or the uneven floors.
Great location very clean
Terrible water pressure in the shower.The cleaner came in the room at 9am without knockingNo plates for a quick snack
