Millennium Hotel Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed the stay, easy to find parking and had within walking distance to a few key activities"

Rydges Rotorua

6/10 Okay

"Upon checking in, the gentleman that checked us in must of had a hell of a day as he was unwelcoming, stone cold, no information regarding amenities of the hotel. The polar opposite to the restaurant staff and other reception staff. Loved our stay, the views amazing especially if you book rm 822, its pretty spectacular."

Kowhai motel

8/10 Good

"The heat pump in the room I was in had an issue when put on high it would thunder through the way in and out of cycle. It sounded like a washing machine out of balance. I had to turn it off overnight as the noise would wake you up. Could have done with another blanket on the bed. Apart from that it was clean and tidy."

JetPark Hotel Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Excellent location, rooms comfortable, quiet and well presented. Continental breakfast buffet had lots of options but food was old, stale and overall disappointing. You also have to pay extra for any non instant coffee on top of the $37 charged to us for breakfast. Definitely skip the breakfast if you have to pay for it. Plus side is there are lots of places within walking distance with much better food. Overall it’s a good place."
