3-Star Hotels in Rotorua

The positives first: The hotel is not terrible. It was not our first choice, but we ended up booking here, as well as booking our friends we were meeting here and another couple joined us for one night and paid for a room. We alerted the manager and he put us all on the the same floor, with a lake view. The room was clean. A little tight on space, but this is not a negative. Staff were friendly. The negatives: NO HOT WATER!! We stayed for 4 nights. One person out of 6 had a hot shower, as he showered just after we arrived. That was the last hot shower. The water was progressively colder, each day. And it was the whole hotel. This was the topic of conversation with every other hotel guest we happened to meet in the lift. We complained, every day. At each stage, we were told they were... waiting for someone to turn up...the problem was fixed but because everyone kept using the water it could not warm up...the problem was not fixed, they were waiting for someone from somewhere else. I think they had no idea and I did feel sorry for the staff, but a hot shower is absolutely a basic requirement. At no stage was there a note slipped under the door to apologise and ask us to bear with them. It was incredibly frustrating. It seems petty after this to mention the bathrooms also need a bit of care and smell very mildewy, but if it were not for the hot water issue, this would have been my main complaint. The last thing to mention, it rained the whole time we were there and the Ibis has no lounge area. We ended up sitting in one of the rooms, as a group, having a natter, like high schoolers. This is more of a Rotorua problem, though, as Rotorua seemed to shut down early and there was no where to just chat, in the evenings. Ibis Rotorua is not somewhere we will stay again.

The motel is located in the city center and is convenient for travel. The boss was very enthusiastic and introduced a lot of useful information. Thank you again!

Oh dear, where do I start? The unit (16) had a strange smell on entry......not the Rotorua pong we all know....but stale and greasy. The kitchen was beyond usable and the fridge was mucky. Stored a few wrapped goods in the larder but wouldn't use glassware, crockery or cutlery. Bathroom also needed better cleaning: base of shower door and windowledges were dirty. There is nothing welcoming in this unit.....no pictures, no clocks, no colour anywhere other than the bedding. Which brings me to the bedroom......there's nowhere to store clothes: in each of the bedrooms there is a cupboard but it has no shelves or rail and could barely be opened due to the position of the bed. Under the bed was in need of a Hoover. The lounge is OK although furniture could do with replacing.....just old and past its best. The whole place is soul-less. Car park is difficult to negotiate. Now there are a few good points: Location - an easy walk into town: the unit has Sky TV: Beds were comfortable and towels good quality. I mentioned my concerns at checkout but received no apology / explanation, just a smile and told that this was the only room available..... Sorry Kowhai Motel.....I am very disappointed. You can do better.

It is a very convenient inn, close to the center where the bus departure and arrival are held and the night market is held. The shared part such as the kitchen was quite beautiful. I think the room depends on how the person in the room uses it, but I think it is a beautiful inn for backpackers. It is the impression that there were many people who made a lot of noise in the room until late time, probably because there were many use of young people. There was a little problem with payment. I paid in advance and my credit was withdrawn properly, but I was charged again at check-in. The manager refunded me. It is said that the cause is the lack of cooperation between the inn and the affiliated company, but I think it is better to confirm it firmly on the day of check-in even if it is paid in advance. When I contacted Trip.com, he responded immediately even though it was midnight. Thank you.

The hotel is close to the Posiliya Hot Springs, one of the world's top ten hot springs, just opposite the government gardens. Location praise! Very close to the lake! Join the famous hot springs to enjoy the hot spring water from the government garden. There is a spa pool, the smell of sulfur is very heavy, there is a spa pool, and a small pool! There is a milk delivery room, a cooking facility, a refrigerator, and a supermarket shopping home to eat.

Had a girls weekend to Rotorua and stayed at these apartments. A few streets back off the main road but nice and quiet and a quick drive to town. Had the 2 bedroom (Unit 6) which was very cosy, clean well stocked. Its around the back of the units and nice and quiet. Plenty of linen and electric blankets on all the beds. It has a spa located at the back of the units but we didn't use it. Showers were fantastic with instant hot water and great pressure. Thanks for a lovely stay

It’s a hot spring hotel where you can cook. The best thing is that these two have private baths and you don’t need to spend money to go to the hot springs. We have soaked here for two consecutive nights. It feels very good. The owner is also more enthusiastic. We found some minor problems. All helped us solve it smoothly, in short, it is still a recommended motel in Rotorua
