Need care.
Outside is beautiful, but very dated inside. We had a room that require painting desperately.
Komako, 2-night trip
Verified Hotels.com guest review

8/10 Very good

A reminder of colonial days
We spent two nights in a two-bedroom suite. This was excellent, apart from the occasional creaking of the floor above as someone walked on it. Dinner in the restaurant was average, as was breakfast. We liked the restful atmosphere in the lobby, which was redolent of a bygone era.

The room was very out dated and had a strange odor. The location was good, but the room is in need of an upgrade.

A special place
Second time staying here as my children (and I) absolutely love it. This is a charming property and the historical elements are so interesting. The foyer is fascinating for children with the old fashioned phone and grand piano. Excellent location, easy walking distance to the park, lakefront and many restaurants. Very good breakfast. Room was clean and comfortable and pool is lovely.

Their thermal hot water spa is magical! It’s open to air where we enjoyed light cold showers and hot spa, we also enjoyed their closed private spa. Breakfast was excellent. Staff is very friendly :) You enjoyed our stay here very much thank you

We stayed here 2 nights and had a nice stay, the only thing that let it down was the shower - it was very poor. Had a nice large room and the bed was comfy. Great location and we managed ok for free parking fortunately

Classy And Worth The Price
I really enjoyed my stay at Prince’s Gate Hotel. The staff were very present with their service whether at the desk or the cleaning staff. The room was fantastic and very decent size, king size bed was comfortable, carpeted, and the bathroom was nice and I got good use from the bath. The facilities were great with heated pools and sauna as well as a restaurant, although I didn’t use the attached restaurant. It was located within 10 minutes from the street shops and less than 5 from pubs and restaurants. The car park on site was fairly small but there was plenty of free parking on the side street. Definitely worth a stay, even for the price.
