Hilton Lake Taupo
4.4/5124 Reviews
Poor experience at this hotel. First room service argued they had cleaned the room when they had clearly not and it took photographic evidence for staff to believe us. Also discovered that their check in staff charged the full price room as a deposit ($304) but only mentioned charging $70 at check in; this is an issue as the room was prepaid. The room itself was comfortable and the pool and gym good. But poor and incompetent treatment by staff would put me off choosing to stay here again.
Novotel Tainui Hamilton
4.4/5134 Reviews
Welcome was good. The reception staff were friendly and accommodated our request for a river facing room. Overall the service was just okay for it's price. For its price, I feel that parking should be included. A limited parking that can be reserved at $36 was offered when I called in a day before as well as a free parking further down the hotel that is not guaranteed. We availed of the additional $36, this includes a valet service. The hotel room design was as expected of Novotel hotels, but it was not up to it's best standard. The remote control and kettle in our room was dusty. Amenities needed to be requested, I did this in advance during booking. But there were no slippers in the room upon arrival except for the 4 towels requested. Breakfast buffet was just the usual fare.
Twin Peaks Lakeside Inn
3.9/5105 Reviews
There are some car hotels, right next to Lake Taupo, the scenery does not say, the car stops at the door of the room, very convenient, very suitable for self-driving travel. The rooms are compact but well-equipped, cooking and bathing are not a problem. It is very close to the supermarket and the place to eat, and there are two or three intersections by car. The New Zealand big sister at the front desk was very enthusiastic and stayed with milk.
Heartland Ambassador Hotel Hamilton
3.9/5105 Reviews
Basically, this hotel (inn) has everything you want, but the quality is not high. The biggest advantage is that it is very convenient if you are traveling by car. The fact that you can park your car at the door is very good. Don’t count the other things. , which is also good. There is a large supermarket opposite which is convenient for shopping!
Hygate Motor Lodge
4.1/5108 Reviews
We went to the Hamilton Balloon Festival and booked a suite. It was clean overall, but the carpet felt a little old and not as new as it looked in the pictures. The front desk check-in service was clear and enthusiastic.
Millennium Hotel & Resort Manuels Taupo
4.5/542 Reviews
Booked the standard lake facing room - excellent view, right next to the lake. Room looks nicer than in pictures … could have been slightly upgraded since. Toilets a little dated but still all good. Requested for a second floor room for greater privacy. Ground floor rooms have direct access straight out to lake, but less privacy as people can walk right pass the rooms. But stairs only, no lift. Also, it would have been good to remind guests to please keep balcony door closed in evening so the midgets and flying insects don’t get in. I learnt the hard way.
Quality Inn Acapulco Taupo
4.1/5104 Reviews
Hotel location is good, just on the edge of Lake Taupo, you can see the lake view when you go out, there is a hot spring pool in the room to let you bubble for free, but we did not soak, four people stay, a total of three beds, a large bed 2 small beds, the room can cook, very convenient
Ramada by Wyndham Hamilton City Center
4.1/551 Reviews
Clean and not too dated inside the room Very noisy bed to even sit on Woken up at 7am with two continuous beeps/alarms, one louder than the other, the louder one stopped but quieter one continued A banging happening at either the end of the hall or below us, really loud and would be the same amount of bangs each time! Parking is VERY limited behind the hotel - very disappointed I had been told free parking which is why I booked it, then turned up to find no spaces and having to pay for on street parking all night
Haka House Taupo

Everything was alright however the room I booked shown on Trip app was a female en-suite room but apparently there’s no female only en-suite room. So may need to clarify for extra confirmation if you mind. Otherwise it’s a good stay
