Rydges Rotorua

Rydges Rotorua

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our room and the heated pool. We had an issue with the shower on our first night and the team had it fixed in a jiffy. My cleanliness rating is simply due to the shower vents which unfortunately is common in many hotels, but such a minor thing that so few bother to mention so it cannot be rectified. The buffet breakfast was wonderful, the beds comfortable, water pressure is such a simple thing but makes all the difference and ours was great. Lovely smelling soaps etc. very friendly staff. Actually a 5 star property in our opinion. Family of 3 had a great time. Thanks Rotorua Rydges team!"

"Our stay here was great. The room was a good size with plenty of room for our suit cases and to just lounge around. The bathroom was great because it not only had a towel heater but a bathroom light that heat the room as well. The hot tub on the bottom floor took a little long to fill but it was still good to have. All in all, a great place to stay."
