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

10/10 Excellent

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.
