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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gina 16 Nov 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 #### Robin 17 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Room rate was very reasonable. Room was a little cold and needed a little care. ##### Robin Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Neil 4 Oct 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Debra 12 Sept 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 ### 8/10 Good #### cappy 28 Apr 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 ### 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Bruce 8 Feb 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 #### 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 #### kawana 17 Aug 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 #### Tony 26 Feb 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 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 ### 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Vyv 8 Mar 2024 Liked: Staff & service Basic.. wouldn't take my wife. ##### Vyv Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 26 Jan 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 #### Tatjana 30 Dec 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 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Misilei 17 Mar 2025 ##### Misilei Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 4 Mar 2025 Disliked: Staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sean 17 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Sean Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023
