It was fine for the price, but the hotel needed cleaning, carpets and dusting, and the shower had very poor shower pressure.

Good location, nice views but room is noisy.
Helpful staff, nice view, good location. But the walls between rooms are too thin, we hear neighbouring room chatting all night long.

Friendly & Great Location
Kingsgate Hotel had friendly staff and fantastic location across the road from the Town Hall and close to the Octogan. Our room was spacious for the 3 of us and clean, however very tired and old decor. Breakfast was OK and appreciated they had gluten free options. Parking at $15 a night was pricey but plenty of parking on the street. A refurb/update would make this an awesome hotel!
