"The room was cavernous! Makes me wonder what local dignitaries and their families lived in "Wesley Chambers" as this building was originally called. Wireless internet worked well as long as door was left open (!) Furnishings a bit dated, but room was very clean and staff were very friendly and helpful (courtesy umbrella for the one rainy day during my visit!). A couple adjacent restaurants (delicious!) allow chargeback to room. Smoking balcony very pleasant and appreciated! Free parking also very much appreciated, as there is precious little downtown. This is the place to stay if you want to immerse yourself in Hamilton nightlife."

"This is a great hostel in Hamilton for the location and price. They also have a central area where you can watch TV/movies and just hang out with other travelers if you need a break. They also have a kitchen if you want to make your food while you are traveling. The staff wasn't the most helpful during my stay there but the other travelers around me made up for it. It is in a good location and walking distance to a lot of restaurants in the area which is very nice. "

"Stayed here for the long weekend as my fiancé had a training course to attend in Hamilton. Free parking was a major plus. Staff were all extremely helpful and friendly, even when we left his uniform behind and had to have it couriered to us. Did not use gym or pool (it was winter). Breakfast was mostly variations on toast and cereal which was a little disappointing but as it was included in the room rate we weren’t too put out by this. Would return if in Hamilton again."

"The Argent Motor Lodge was there perfect place for us. We usually travel and stay in big hotels, so when we booked our trip to Hamilton, New Zealand, we looked for those accommodations first. I am glad that those places were booked as it caused me to look around for other accommodations. The Argent not only meet our needs but far exceeded our expectations.
The room is modern and new. We loved the mini kitchenette and the bathroom is large and modern. The bed was very comfortable! The entire facility was clean and welcoming. We will be back!"

"We had a great experience at this hotel. It was great value for money, in a excellent location for the main entertainment strip in Hamilton. The staff were helpful and the 24 hour reception made the valet parking an great addition. Room was comfortable (big big and all the extras). We didn't eat in the hotel but it had a good looking range. We would stay at this hotel again when in Hamilton."

"i had booked this hotel as i was heading to hamilton on business but had to end up taking my wife and 3 month old baby girl.
from my entry the staff were very helpful offering to help carry goods and pram to my hotel. they even offered me a free upgrade to a room with a baby cot but i declined as i planned to leave within a few hours.
i was pleasantly surprised that the hotel staff had come to my room and offered a fruit basket as complimentary. on the next morning i had to leave at 5am and i had a staff member at reception who was helpful in opening the parking gates at such an early hour.
definitely would come back to this hotel and will look forward to going to other hotels as part of this chain. "

"We have stayed at the Kingsgate on another occasion, which is why we booked in again. We love the big room and the fact that the two beds are queen sized. Room and bathroom were immaculately laid out and were of the highest standard of cleanliness.All staff were very polite and helpful.On this occasion we did not dine at the hotel as we were in Hamilton for a family occasion but on our previous visit found the restaurant meals to be of a high standard with a variety of food offered. We look forward to our next stay at the Kingsgate!"

"Enjoyed our 3 night stay here at the Ulster Lodge Motel. The staff are absolutely wonderful and very friendly and leave you to enjoy your privacy without interruption unless you require them. Our room was private, spacious, warm and pleasantly clean and just right for the 2 of us. Our very comfy bed was made and fresh towels left on a daily basis, which was a surprise as we didnt realise that room service was included in our stay. Will definitely recommend these lovely people and their premises to all. Thank you very much :D"

"We are greatful to Heartlands for being able to take our last minute reservation. As the hotel we previously acquired turned out to be disgusting.
Judy who was on reception at Heartlands made us feel welcomed and gave us a room with a view. The room was a breath of fresh air. You certainly got more than your moneys worth. Heartlands is our place to be."

More about Hamilton
The Waikato, the longest river in New Zealand, cuts right through the middle of this inland city located on the North Island. The city of Hamilton is a fairly large city with an impressive amount of natural beauty, starting with the lake that weaves through the middle of the city and ending with the many parks and gardens that adorn the city.
The city is served by Hamilton Airport, which hosts regular flights from major cities like Wellington and Auckland as well as many others in the region. Travelers who are planning to drive can also easily access the city through the major highway, which goes right through Hamilton.
The central lake for the city is Lake Rotoroa, locally referred to as Hamilton Lake and surrounded by many tourists attractions and sports venues. There is a decent-sized walking path around the lake, perfect for slow walks in the area to see the sights and take part in some of the local culture. The nearby Hamilton Gardens, located right on the river walk, is the perfect place for an afternoon picnic.
Hamilton has many attractions that should not be missed, and Taitua Arboretum is certainly one such place. Home to many mature trees and woodland gardens, it’s a truly beautiful place worth experiencing at least once during one’s time in Hamilton.
