Room was a little cold and needed a little care. ##### Robin Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gina Nov 16, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities If you like old town western hotel with old rooms this is your place. We had the only room with a bathroom. Staff were very nice . Check in at the bar. Had to give 20$ deposit for room key and when we went to check out no one around, so lost that. Not for the faint of heart. ##### Gina Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Edward Aug 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities the hotel is in the centre of town and looks out over the harbour inlet. There is a large bar with live music the night I was there. The hotel is very old (1858) but well maintained and very clean. Staff friendly.Perfectly placed to explore the Awhitu Peninsular. Food available. ##### Edward Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Neil Oct 4, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Was ok, a bit run down, had a meal in the restaurant. Was acceptable ##### Neil Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### John Jan 5, 2025 Disliked: Amenities This is an old pub, the owners are fixing up rooms and renting them. They were friendly, but this is not a regular hotel. We were there on New Years Eve, and there was a DJ and loud party until well into the new year. Room was small, with no shower. We had a toilet, but had to go out into hallway to get to a shared shower. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Bruce Feb 8, 2023 Liked: Room comfort The staff were friendly and eager to please. Melody deserves special mention. A mirror in the room would be nice. The toilet soap dispenser was not working. I will will definitely stay here again. Guinness on tap is the clincher. ##### Bruce Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### kawana Aug 17, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Staff were nice , but they charge you $20 for the key to the room with assurance that they will refund you , we were leaving at 7am and no one was there to refund us ( we also told them that we were leaving early ) ##### kawana Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Debra Sep 12, 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities No reception desk, had to go into bar to check in. Accommodation was noisy and very basic. No breakfast was offered. Very expensive for a very basic hotel. ##### Debra Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bruce Oct 8, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities The Property was lovely, however things like chewing stuck to the cover of the compendium and no toilet paper in two of the three toilets let the place down. ##### Bruce Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dilshan Jan 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Kentish is a heritage hotel, so if you are looking for modern accommodation this is not your thing. The Kentish has a lot of history and its an awesome old pub/bar and an excellent restaurant which has its own bar. The restaurant seems a more recent extension which is spacious and airy. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and always with a smile. We had an awesome stay. The accommodation is was very simple, but clean and pleasant, and most rooms have no ensuite, which was not clear via Expedia. ##### Dilshan ### 6/10 Okay #### Eleanor Jan 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is historical and the separate shower and toilets were a novelty but needed updating as I couldn't shut the toilet door without standing in pee stained wooden toilet surround. The mattresses were extremely thin but the linen was new and clean. ##### Eleanor ### 8/10 Good #### Vyv Mar 8, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Basic.. wouldn't take my wife. ##### Vyv Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### cappy Apr 28, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness The bed linen bottom bed sheet was unclean. Noisy when the disco is pumping and noisy bar patrons at midnight-1300\. ##### cappy Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tony Feb 26, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Loud band kept me awake until 12.00 and bar noise until 1.00 ##### Tony Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Colin Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The hotel was as presented i.e. old; but the rooms were not clean. With that exception it was as expected. ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jan 26, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Doors slam loudlly all the time. Staff couldn't find my booking on arrival. Very old fashioned rooms. Needs a little work done ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Jessica Nov 24, 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Under renovation and loud music If you are staying here on a weekend, know the walls and floor are PAPER thin and they blast music from 9pm until 11:30pm. It was impossible for my parents to sleep through it. The price was low but I wouldn’t recommend unless you have bass proof ear plugs or a heavy sleeper. It’s still under renovation so be aware if that. Also, it said bathroom was in room but it IS a shared bathroom out of the room. On the plus side, the rooftop balcony had tables and chairs. Climbing out of the window to hangout there was definitely a highlight of the evening. ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Garry Oct 26, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Small poky room Other neighboring rooms geusts load and abusive yelling Load noises from outside until rarly hours of morning ##### Garry Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tatjana Dec 30, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disappointing stay at the Kentish, staff were unfriendly, room was hot and stuffy and shared facilities were dirty, with a cockroach greeting us on arrival. Broken toilet, no toilet paper or new towels after staying for three days. Wouldn’t recommend. ##### Tatjana Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Edison Times Square](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Hotel-Edison-Times-Square.h6260.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d602873-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in England](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-England-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d11218-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Cairo](https://www.expedia.ca/Cairo-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aCAI-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Bruce Peninsula](https://www.expedia.ca/Bruce-Peninsula-Hotels.d6339924.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Aloft Mountain View](https://www.expedia.ca/Mountain-View-Hotels-Aloft-Mountain-View.h424192.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Los Angeles Int'l Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Los-Angeles-International-Airport.h28110.Hotel-Information) > > [Millennium Plaza Downtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dubai-Hotels-Millennium-Plaza-Downtown-Hotel.h7610.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Rimouski](https://www.expedia.ca/Rimouski-Hotels.d4120.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Lake on the Mountain Provincial Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-On-The-Mountain-Provincial-Park-Hotels.0-l6292271-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Hyderabad (HYD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/hyd/toronto-to-hyderabad) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Santa Cruz (VVI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/vvi/winnipeg-to-santa-cruz) > > [Flights from Madrid (MAD) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mad/fra/madrid-to-frankfurt) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Konavle (DBV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/dbv/detroit-to-dubrovnik) > > [Flights from Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178314/flights-from-toronto) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from San Francisco (SFO) to San José del Cabo (SJD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sfo/sjd/san-francisco-to-san-jose-del-cabo) > > [Flights from Nashville (BNA) to Atlanta (ATL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bna/atl/nashville-to-atlanta) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Laughlin Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin.d10747.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Hawaii Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Hawaii.d213.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General
