"This was our first time staying at this property, and we were very impressed. We stayed in a suite and found the check-in process to be quick and easy. It was also convenient to find a parking space close to our room, and we appreciated the range of facilities on offer. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The room was exceptionally clean, and the spa bath was more like a spa pool, which was a fantastic bonus. The underfloor heating added an extra touch of comfort...

Top Government Gardens Hotel Reviews

Prince's Gate Hotel

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at Princes Gate. We would like to acknowledge the efficient, respectful and welcoming staff. Our room was clean, spacious, warm and had everything we needed. The 2 dining room staff coped so well on the night when there were large numbers of guests and they were obviously understaffed. They were very busy and maintained an excellent, friendly, professional service. We enjoyed the breakfast and appreciated the range of food available. We thought the prices for the evening meals were excessive. Limited parking available."
