Kingsgate Hotel Dunedin

Kingsgate Hotel Dunedin

8/10 Good
"Thank you, I enjoyed my stay, great balcony and view, lovely comfortable beds and warm blankets for this time of the year. Enjoyed breakfast each morning. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend Kingsgate to anyone, who is visiting Dunedin. This suited us well as we were out on day excursions, and nice to come back to lovely comfortable bed. Nga Mihi :)"
