Best Rotorua Hotels

"We had a generally pleasant experience in Rydges Rotorua. though there were a few drawbacks. The hotel rooms are showing signs of age, and overall cleanliness in our bedroom was just average. A particular letdown was the rusty kettle provided in the room. On the positive side, the hotel offers a good range of amenities, including a heated swimming pool, spa and a children's playroom which are great for families. The buffet breakfast had a good variety of options and was a nice way to start the day. While it's not perfect, this hotel is a fair choice for families looking for a comfortable stay with decent facilities."

"They have great customer service. Are very polite and easy to talk to. The only two sad things was that I asked for our room to be cleaned while I took the kids out in the morning around 8. But when I arrived back in the afternoon around 4pm, it was not yet cleaned. Also the shower head was very hard to use. Maybe it has some plugging issues. The water comes out outwards, not focused in the middle."

"A very clean hotel with a very welcoming front desk, which made us feel at home in a foreign country. Facilities: Very stylish Hygiene: clean nice environment Service: warm The location is very good. I will stay here again next time. Recommended to everyone."

"The hotel was located right next to the Polynesian Spa and a long walking/biking path around the geothermal area. It's also near restaurants and a grocery store for lots of food options. The room was clean and comfortable, but due to our location on the first floor near the parking lot and major walkway, we heard everyone coming and going. If you're a light sleeper, request an upper floor room, and hopefully you won't hear people in the hallway/parking lot/walkway like we did. Also, I have to be honest, the sulphur smell was so strong at times I was gagging and it woke me up from a dead sleep. Knowing it will smell and experiencing it are two different things! Mostly for this reason, I wouldn't stay here again."

"Generally speaking, although all the hotels booked during the self-driving trip around New Zealand may not be available in luxury hotels (after all, the population density is very low), basically all the hotel beds are very comfortable and clean, which is really important. During the day, we are basically outside either driving or hiking, so having a comfortable and clean bed when we rest really ensures our sleep quality. I was mentally prepared before arriving at the room every time, but in fact, every time it was a little bit beyond my expectations. Like the one I booked in Rotorua this time, the room was clean and tidy, the bedding and mattress were very comfortable, and there was an extra bed in the room. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen has an oven, the bathroom has a washing machine, and it's very close to the busiest streets. Because the itinerary is very tight, I arrive at the hotel very late every time and leave very early, so the above conditions are considered satisfactory for self-driving travel👍👍"

"We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at this hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and well-appointed with everything we needed for a short stay. One thing that would have made the stay even better is if the room had included a washing machine. While laundry facilities were available on-site, having a washing machine in the room would have been much more convenient, especially for longer stays or for those traveling light. Overall, a great place to stay — clean, comfortable, and in a good location. With in-room laundry, it would be close to perfect."

"Very nice and new place in a tranquil environment.  We enjoyed the spacious apartment. Bright and new , just how one would like it."

"Loved the location! There’s a weekend farmers' market nearby, and a hot spring park just across the street. Many places are also easily accessible on foot, which made exploring really convenient."

"The location is very central and convenient. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The room has a comfortable bed and luxuriously roomy bathroom. We charged our electric car overnight in the hotel’s car park. Our family of three had a comfortable stay throughout. We would definitely book this place again."

"ibis Rotorua is located near a public geothermal park, you can visit there to take a look at the bubbling pool and smell the steaming sulphur filled in the air."
