Staff was nice and accommodating, the room and bathroom were clean. Beds were good and the place was quiet. Wifi was good and the tv in the room allowed skycasting so we could watch netflix from our phone. Overall basic accomodation that meets all your needs for a very nice price.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,003 reviews)
A unique antique property across the street from the Prince's Gates at Government Gardens, hence the name. The hotel common areas are phenomenal, old woods, wallpapers and furnishings well maintained. I rarely photograph my hotel surroundings, but made an exception here - museum like! The dining area and bar were great. Had a breakfast plan that was very good. Spend an afternoon sitting in the lounge in front of fireplace reading. Nice! An easy walk from city center with shopping, dining, parks, thermal features. The hotel's thermal pool was down for repairs, but they provided access to Polynesian Spa's family pool - 10 min walk away. The Spa's lakeside pools were excellent. The room itself was antique/boutique quaint, but very small with minimal amenities. Bathroom was clean, but tiny. Smell of sulphur from the geothermal areas was everywhere. Woke me at 3am one night it was so strong. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Overall a nice stay.

Loved the new rooms and the parking was jus close to the room made it so easy to load and unload our bags. I loved the stay. But the shower was an issue there is a design fault. Overall a good experience and good stay

"We didnt arrive until 10pm but found the key and room as per instructions easily. The room did have a weird smell but about from that was fine and beds comfy. Only downside was lack of hot water. In the morning only 3 out of 5 had hot showers"
