We stayed at the Kingsgate based on someone we knew recommending it. The hotel was on the water and the staff at the front desk were super helpful and went out of their way. It wasn't too busy but we really felt like they appreciate their customers. The hotel is a bit older, as were the rooms, but it had... More

This accommodation is just our cup of tea. No high rise buildings so no lifts to cope with, just great wide short staircase. Easy to find rooms. The rooms are not too hot as many hotel rooms are. You can open the windows at night and get fresh air into the bedroom. The bathroom is just right with a bath... More

Having read the mediocre reviews, I was expecting something quite drab. At 89 dollars a night (internet discount rate...not high season), we were very pleased with our stay. The room was cozy and the updated bathroom appreciated and the beds comfortable. Bathroom floor needed better cleaning...but aside from that we were pleasantly surprised. Staff was very friendly and we enjoyed... More

The hotel is located overlooking the beautiful Te Anau lake. The room was nice and comfortable but without any view of the lake. The staff at the reception was nice and allowed us an early check-in. The Real Journey's booking office for the Glow Worm's tour is just 10 mins walk. Value for money.

There was nothing really wrong with this hotel, the rooms were clean and warm and the bath was lovely. The beds were a major letdown -, I am glad there was 2 in the room, as there was no way 2 people could sleep in 1 bed, because I tried and was lying in the bed on a 45 degree... More

Excellent budget place. Appears slightly old and tired but you cannot fault the cleanliness, great value breakfast and super friendly staff. All very efficient and in 5 minutes walking distance from the centre. Recommend the Moose nearby for a game of pool!

This hotel has definitely seen better days. It's very basic with very small, very soft, double beds. It was clean enough although the bath/shower plug hole was filled with hair (yuck), and behind the bathroom door had not been swept or vacuumed.

The food was good. Room clean. Friendly staff. The only downside is no lifts in the building - but, it is only the groundfloor and one flight of stairs up. We accidently broke a cup, notified staff, and they insisted that we not pay for it. Staff very accommodating Swimming pool and fitness centre not used or enquired about
