The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was very functional. The sheets and pillow cases were clean but the pillows smelt old and musty. I’m sure this hotel will be up and running with new refurbishment very soon .

Thanks for your feedback. Yes our pool is great - thank you :) We have a refurb booked in soon (was unfortunately postponed last year due to Covid). We are looking forward to renovations, awaiting building supplies/contractors to start the work. Thanks for staying with us.

The room was terribly out dated and in need of some dire remediation work. Wallpaper was peeling off, carpet was needed replacing, the room smelt stale, it needed re-painting.

Hi there Thank you for staying with us and providing us with feedback. We are beginning renovations in a few months time. We look forward to this as the renos were pushed back from last year due to Covid related restraints on building supplies and tradesman. Thank you. Kind regards Kingsgate Hotel Reception

I was very disappointed with my room. I have stayed here before only about two months prior and I had a nice clean room. This time the Room was very dated and unkempt. There was a knob missing from one of the drawers. I found a hair on the sheets and the bedding was very old and I wondered if it had been cleaned between guests. Very disappointed ☹️
