4-Star Hotels in Bay of Plenty, New Zealand

Great stay here! Room was newly renovated, great location as it was close to everything we wanted to do while in Rotorua. Definitely recommend!

The price was really good and the location was great, literally right across the road from the Skyline Luge. Potentially more rooms than available parking, but no complaints otherwise.

The room iwe stayed in have 3 double deck which is good for 6 person. The room is clean, with complete beddings, cutlery, electric kettle, ref , microwave oven, stove and cabinet inside the room for only $40 per head it is worrh it. There is also a thermal pool where we swim and you can bbq grill for free. The Toilet and showers are many so you dont have to wait or lined for use, and the kitchen also is very wide

Strongly recommend this hotel, especially for families with children. There’s an outdoor heated pool with sauna which was perfect to end the day with. Also comes with a playroom with table tennis, foosball, table hockey which is great for family bonding. Kids dine free with paying adults so is great for family. Breakfast spread was good! Highly recommended!

I recently stayed at Arawa Park Hotel and had a pleasant experience overall. The location is excellent—close to Rotorua’s main attractions and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The room was spacious, clean, and featured large, comfortable beds. Considering the affordable price, it’s excellent value for money and ideal for anyone looking for a comfortable, budget-friendly stay. The staff were attentive and friendly, even offering to heat up meals for guests—a thoughtful touch that added convenience. I also appreciated their focus on security, as they took note of my car’s plate number during check-in. I noticed that the hotel has washing machines and laundry facilities, which could be very useful for longer stays. While I didn’t ask if these are free for guests to use, it’s great to see such amenities available. Clearer information about their usage would be helpful. One downside was the lack of adaptors in the room, which made charging devices a little inconvenient. Adding adaptors or universal outlets would greatly improve the overall experience for guests. Overall, Arawa Park Hotel is an excellent choice for a comfortable and affordable stay in Rotorua. With minor tweaks like providing adaptors and clearer communication about amenities, it could be even better.

The location of the hotel is good, but the facilities are a bit old. It is very close to the hot spring baths, and the beach is just a few steps away. Generally speaking, it is still possible, if the price is below 800.

Super friendly staff and the whole one-night stay was seamless. Fantastic location, would definitely stay again.

Not great considering the cost to stay. We had to wait 10 minutes for someone to turn up at the reception, and then we had to ask twice for assistance to check in.  Little to no hot water (tepid would be accurate) meant we had to walk out of the complex (with towels and toiletries) and down the main street and back into another room at the other end of the complex to take showers - both nights! Not at all pleasant as it was quite cold and very inconvenient.  And the spa didn’t work and was out of operation. Probably due to no hot water.  No lift meant lugging suitcases up a lot of stairs and no one to help.  Certainly wasn’t a great place to stay. Think we could have stayed somewhere better at half the price and less trouble.

Stayed here for 3 nights and it was a good stay apart from some of the facilities available in the room. Clean rooms however bathroom needs a upgrade. Being a 4 star hotel and still using stained bath tubs with curtain for showers. Also arrived hotel at 4pm (2pm check in time) and was told to wait as rooms were still not ready until 5:30.
