Unique and cool colonial hotel

Prince's Gate is a nice hotel that leans into its colonial history. It is warm and welcoming and the rooms have a style unlike other places in Rotorua. The location is also fantastic. Parking is only available on the street, not on the property.

Mixed feelings

Pillows definitely need refreshing, they were flat and hard. Overall it’s a lovely property, but carpets and wallpaper are visibly worn in most areas. Great location, and a beautiful historic building.

The a la carte menu whilst not extensive is top quality and reasonably priced.

Unique antique style boutique hotel . Good for the soul with olde worldly elegance . Superb service all around.
Ruellyn, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Amazing to look at. DO NOT rent a ground floor room. People above us walked around to 1am. Creaky, squeaky floors. You could hear them peeing, then flushing. Complained to management- nothing down.
Scott, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice cosy accommodation , and buffet breakfast Unfortunately the hot pools were closed at this time which I was looking towards to use
Jenan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a lovely hotel however we were not impressed with the food at the restaurant
Stacy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a great one night stay at Prince’s Gate. Awesome location, and a nice historic feel to the rooms and facilities. Even got a room upgrade which added to the stay. The pool was closed, but they remedied this by sending us to Polynesian spa free of charge which was a thoughtful touch.
Kanlin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

For an older hotel is well maintained. Room was immaculately clean. Bed was comfy. It was a small room but all we needed as we didn’t spend much time there.
Kaidee, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good experience, specious rooms, nice and clean, breakfast was for vegetarian and non veg. But the Thermal pools were under maintenance.
Raman, 1-night trip

Lovely very well maintained historic hotel. Great geothermal pool.
Tamara, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Amazing hotel with lots of character. Superb location. Only constructive feedback would be that the bathroom could be updated a bit, and black-out curtains would be useful (it was hard to keep the light out).
PJ, 2-night trip

Historical architecture
Kirk, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a historic property and hence a bit old. The location is pretty good - very close to the tourism centre and also a few minutes walk from Eat Streat. The staff are also nice and friendly. The room is spacious.
Teddy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room a bit small but ok for single person on a business trip. Shower VERY small. Clean and quiet with comfortable bed. Easy walking to Eat Street and other activities. Disappointed that Pools were closed for maintenance
