Top Rotorua Hotel Reviews

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

8/10 Good
"Nice location, room was good, but bathroom could do with a refurbishment as grout between tiles a bit moldy & a fixed showerhead over a bath is a bit dated (and slightly dangerous without a non slip mat) and don't like fighting with a wet shower curtain. Carpet in some areas of the Hotel was a bit stretched and loose, saw a couple of people trip on it. But on the whole it was pretty good."
