"I stayed at the Regent Rotorua with my two sons during a family trip. The hotel was clean with useful an amenities, including a kitchenette, two queen beds, and a sofa. Best of all was location: adjacent alleyway with a dozen restaurants and shops, dozens of downtown food and shopping options, and Lake Rotorua well within walking distance. This centrally located hotel is very convenient and family friendly."

"Front desk were great"

JetPark Hotel Rotorua

"Staff were very friendly and helpful"

STAY280 & STAY284 Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"A fantastic stay in an exceptional self-catering suite. Staff were so friendly, helpful and eager to help in anyway they could. A must for anyone visiting Rotorua."

Sudima Lake Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay , it catered for all our needs and will definitely return."

Quest Rotorua Central

10/10 Excellent

"Great service"

Millennium Hotel Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Booked a lake-view room for two nights. The rooms are recently upgraded and very nicely fitted out. If you book a lake view room, request the higher floors. The restaurant meal we had was very nice. We had room service the second night for a small service fee. Only complaint is the doors slam shut which booms up and down the corridor and is quite intrusive. Either a better slow-close or some cushioning on the actual door frame would make it quieter. Car parking is always at a premium but certain street parking is free."

Prince's Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyable overnight stay, pleasant friendly staff, well appointed room, handy location, reasonable tariff for time of year, would definitely stay again and recommend!"

Tui Glen - Lake front bach with stunning views

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay, very cozy!"

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."
