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 ### 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 #### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ian Jun 7, 2023 Liked: Staff & service It was an experience to stay in the hotel. It was really noisy during the night with people walking back and forth to their room from the toilets. One of the showers was cold in the morning. The little freezer froze our milk for our bubba. The setting was on too high. The room was cold at night. The little oil heater wasn't enough. We still enojoyed our experience ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Geoffrey Jan 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Obviously a unique property. Check in was a slow process as the person has to attend to the bar as well. $20 per key required as a deposit. This took 4 days to be returned after an email and numerous calls. This was frustrating and ruined an otherwise pleasant stay. ##### Geoffrey ### 8/10 Good #### Stuart Jun 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I should have paid more attention to the fact that there were stairs to accommodations as i have a condition that has wasted my muscles. As a result I had a fall at the bottom of these. The staff were very good though and they escorted me to a table in restaurant after dressing a wound. The rooms suit people who just need somewhere to doss down after an evening in the pub below. And of course the noise till 12plus. I admit i was expecting to be able to hear this but man was it loud, no sleeping till after it quieted down. I'm 69 and will definitely not be booking a hotel and upstairs accommodation. ##### Stuart Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jeanette Jul 30, 2023 Disliked: Amenities It’s an historic hotel so the toilet and shared shower facilities were expected. However, the VERY cold rooms, minimal and jaded bed linen, no electric blankets and only one power point for heating, phone charger and kettle was not expected! Approx 20 police attended a disturbance and made arrests at the hotel on the Friday night and no attempt was made to notify residents or provide a safe alternative access to the hotel at night. On our return at 10.40pm we had to walk through police and disgruntled patrons to get into the hotel! The party continued outside till about 2am and car alarms sounded in the hotel carpark. I did not feel safe in that hotel! The bar and restaurant staff were very nice but the priority at this property is clearly the bar and restaurant ( both seem ok) but the hotel accommodation is badly outdated and very uncomfortable and the hotel guests seem to be a very low priority. ##### Jeanette Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023
