The staff are always helpful. We are only ever staying one night around flights from the airport. The property is quite old, but it's a good budget option for overnighting before or after a flight. I've already booked our next stay for a flight in May.

We stayed in room 88. The bed was horrible I could feel the springs coming through the mattress the floor was so moulded it was sinking in places and the door frames were rotten and falling apart you could smell the mildew in the hall ways and room. The sliding door to the patio was so hard to open due to it being so old and the patio was rotting away and covered in spiders. If I wasn't so exhausted from travel and it being 9pm with a 4 am flight I would not have stayed. I definitely do not recommend. Only gave 2 stars because the staff at the desk were so friendly and the convenience of the airport shuttle.

The fact of having to go next door to the reception and to have dinner in the restaurant was not appealing especially as a single woman walking there alone at night, I made sure I was back in my room before dark. The air con was fantastic in the room as too were the clean sheets n bedding. Outdated furniture and cracked tiles in the bathroom needs attention, the bed of springs was not comfortable at all. But the shuttle service to and from the airport was why I choose this place.

After a long haul journey and arriving from overseas at 2am, we were grateful for the free airport shuttle bus and 24 hour check in at Airport Gateway Hotel. The staff were very kind and accommodating and we were able to arrange for a late check out, the night before, due to our jet lag.They kindly gave us extra coffee and milk, upon request. It was nice to be able to get filtered, chilled or bottled water at reception from the dispenser and reception. We enjoyed our stay and will come back.
