"The rooms were exceptionally clean — honestly, some of the cleanest accommodation we stayed in during our trip. Cleanliness is the most important thing to me when choosing somewhere to stay, and this property absolutely exceeded expectations. It was clear that everything was meticulously maintained and genuinely cared for. A staff member showed us to our room when we arrived and walked us through the amenities, which was such a nice touch. Everyone was very friendly throughout our stay and kept...

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

8/10 Good

"Great breakfast, next to all restaurants. Great views of the lake."

STAY280 & STAY284 Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Awesome place to stay! I will definitely be coming back again! Beautiful rooms. They have revamped them very well! Had everything we needed in the room! It was different having a room with laminated flooring over carpet but not the end of the world. Only thing that did bother us was that our tv would not connect to the internet so we were only able to watch normal television…. Managers did come to check it but they couldn’t fix it. Not the biggest issue but it would have been nice to be compensated with another room or refunded some money due to the fact we couldn’t watch movies as we were supposed to have included. But over all, very lovely stay and great home away from home option."

Marsden Stay Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is the star of this hotel. Before the check-in, the woman staff was able to reassure how to access the hotel after hours. It was simple and I got in easily for my 3 nights stay. When I check-out, the man staff was very helpful to store my luggage. When I came back to the hotel, it started to rain. I waited until I can walk to the bus station (intercity) but the rain kept going on. The same man asked me if I wanted to have a poncho. To clarify, this is not expected as a service at the hotel. He went above and beyond. I am so amazed by the attention of the staff. They make you feel good at their place. Other than that, the room is very spacious and clean for the duration. You can open your luggage with ease."

Alpin Motel & Conference Centre

8/10 Good

"Great space with comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen and bathroom. All the items you need in a small apartment. Cons- Bedside lamp would be a nice for reading and not having the overhead lights on. Traffic noise was loud at times but just in the front room. Check in and out was quick and easy. Overall, we had a very comfortable two night stay."
