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 5 Jan 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Eleanor 17 Jan 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jessica 24 Nov 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 #### Kowhai 11 Jul 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Renovations were underway leaving hall and common areas dusty and unsafe with exposed wire being worked on, walls knocked out and painting being done during the time of our stay. There were two shared showers for the hotel. One had no hot water and the other only barely hot enough after being left running for a long amount of time. Noise from the venue below was understandable but still not ideal. Light fittings in the room were not fully functional, carpet was stained and bed squeaky and old. Other than a hook on the back of the door there was nowhere to actually hang clothes. The jug could only be plugged in by leaving it sitting on the floor. My partner has allergies and was unwell, we tried to make the best of it but ended up leaving without staying the night. This was backpacker style accommodation at $128 for a Queen which is not worth it. When I raised these issues with staff (we left without staying the night) a refund was not forthcoming even though all of the issues can be easily verified. With renovations I am sure this place has potential but this is not how you treat paying customers. ##### Kowhai Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tim 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The area was awesome ##### Tim Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### cappy 28 Apr 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness The bed linen bottom bed sheet was unclean.

Broken toilet, no toilet paper or new towels after staying for three days. Wouldn’t recommend. ##### Tatjana Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Garry 26 Oct 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bruce 8 Oct 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 #### garry 1 Oct 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities It’s ok ##### garry Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Colin 31 Jul 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 #### Jeanette 30 Jul 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul 16 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities . ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ian 7 Jun 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robin 17 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Room rate was very reasonable.

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 ### 8/10 Good #### Geoffrey 13 Jan 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 #### Dilshan 9 Jan 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 26 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I liked the history, the hotel itself was amazing ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy 10 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff bright fresh accomodation.
