Room not very clean - dirty towel on towel rail, dust in corners, bath and toilet not cleaned, damaged skirting boards, cloudy glasses in cupboard. All beds including sofa bed hard as a rock so barely slept. Only Freeview offering but didn’t matter anyway as TV didn’t work. Not high pile carpet as stated in listing. Pros: very soft lovely pillows, quiet, good proximity to Whakarewarewa Village, decent size fridge Cons: not “executive” anything, no coffee in the drinks sachets only tea, no milk pods. Should have just paid the $22 more and stayed at a nice place.

The room was clean and tidy. Had a King size bed but this was a bit lumpy and felt it was sloping downhill. There seemed to be very little noise insulation as we were disturbed by noise from surrounding rooms. The people were not particularly noisy, but the construction materials were not noise absorbing which meant our peaceful weekend wasn't so peaceful.

The stay was good but perhaps bit of improvement on customer service would be good, we ran out of coffee/tea but had to call the staff 3 times before it was being delivered and we wanted to have a swim but the swimming pool was not very clean. Thanks.

If you are going to stay in Rotorua just spend the money and get something nice. Need to hire a new cleaner, room was barely clean and had stains on the toilet seat, the beds were horrible and hard, sheets were stained. We had an internal door to another room so it felt very unsafe. Very noisy, you can hear everything going on in the other rooms, there was banging and yelling at 2am which kept me up. Did not feel comfortable staying here at all.

The room was in good condition, however when we went to do our washing in the washing rooms that are provided, the hotel had left dirty linen in the washing machine. We were also only provided with 1 key to get in and out of the room whilst our booking was for 3 people, I feel like we should’ve had 2 at the very least. There was also no body wash in our showers. My bond was also not given back to me. I paid $805 for the room, was never told that id have to pay a bond, and once we got there I had to pay a $100 bond which I never got back.

Shower barely worked, had to take like 30 min or more to get enough water on the body for a wash. Rooms are small but clean. I felt it was it bit expensive for what it was. The continental breakfast was only available if you paid for it in advance which wasn't really worth it if you did. They at least could have made coffee and tea free for all in the cafeteria for the morning. There were little tea packets in the room you could have made yourself but it costs almost nothing to make a few fresh pots of coffee in the morning for your guests and it's far better than a stale 6 year old tea packet.

The shower was dirty with hair on the floor as well as what looked like conditioner. Tv didn’t work properly & could only watch to channels. Reception don’t even know how much I paid for the room. No communication about how to access amenities & it was very noisy. You could easily hear conversations being had in the room next door. It sounded like I was staying in a hostel. I certainly wouldn’t be calling it a hotel.
