Was fantastic. We were in the penthouse. You can cast Netflix into the tv and choose any movie you like for the kids to watch and enjoy. We received complimentary drinks. The rooms was spacious and there were lots of beds for each family member. The pool and spa were amazing options to have at hand and there’s a meat lover grill next door! Brisket was delicious!

Perfect location in the centre of town. We could walk to Eat Street and all the resturants within a few minutes. Beds were comfortable and staff very helpful. Keep in mind that there are no lifts, so if you end up on the top floors, you will be doing lots of stairs to get anywhere. Particularly annoying if you have large baggage or prams etc with you that you will need to carry up and down. We stayed on the first floor so it wasnt really an issue for us. They have a large communal kitchen on the first floor that you can use if your room doesnt have a kitchen, which was super handy. Overall, very happy with our stay and would stay there again. Very good value for money.

It was okay, I was visiting family and book a last minute stay in Rotorua. The rooms were mid and the access is confusing. You gotta download an app to get your key which is annoying cause you’ll just delete when done. It’s like a college dorm hallway set up which a common kitchen. Won’t stay again but I see what they’re going for it works but if you want a hotel hotel this ain’t it.

There were old dead flies in the room, which obviously hadnt been cleaned up properly. The room we were in was next to the pub and it was loud for my kids. I wouldnt recommend staying here on a saturday as its very loud from the Rotorua night life. The lady who greeted us was very kind and helpful.

This was a friendly, no frills stay in town. Staff were very kind, room was small but clean and well maintained. Bathrooms were very small. Expect to pay extra for electric charging of vehicles ($20/night). Room key cards were a pain since it used a phone app/Bluetooth to work.

The room itself was clean but small. The pool area was nice and the kitchen area was clean and well-stocked. But there are only stairs at this property. My mum had quite a hard time lifting her luggage up two flights of stairs with her dodgy knee. Also, the rooms were really warm even with the heating turned off and the windows were really condensated in the morning.

Great location

Great customer service. Hot pool was lovely and the hours its open is fantastic. Hotel wanted us to use same towels for 2 days, need heated towel rack in rooms if this is the case. Hotelier said there are dryers to dry towels at our expense. I believe the hotel should be providing extra towels or drying money if they want us to use same towels for 2 days. Otherwise great location, friendly staff. Rooms a bit small but manageable.

A hidden gem of a boutique hotel right in the center of Rotorua. Staff is very helpful and kind, facilities are AMAZING and everything is super clean. Rooms are also very spacious, well decorated and with a nice balcony. I wish I hadn't stayed at other places (avoid Ibis Rotorua at all costs!) and instead book all of the nights here. Highly recommended even for long stays!

For the price paid, we were extremely happy with the stay! Rooms and bathrooms well cleaned, great kitchen, lovely staff. There is some road noise so you might want ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Room could be improved with some thicker curtains as they are quite thin. I would happily stay here again, thank you!

Property style is great - everything is new and clean, parking is free and the staff are friendly. However, there is ongoing construction work which was not made clear up front - unfair when paying full price - resulting in early morning noise disruption and the pool is under construction if you are also looking for that.

Overall the room was clean and tidy. Staff were friendly. But what attracted us to this property was the pool. Which is out of service. We were grateful for a partial refund (which was given after i asked) Biggest downfall however was that it is in no way wheel chair accessable. There was no elevator and although i am not bound by a wheelchair i am heavily pregnant and was on the top floor so had to come up and down flights of stairs. Alot of maintenance going on at the place. Welding, grinding, water blasting building. So very noisy during the day.
