Lakefront Lodge Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"Bathroom a bit smelly"

Wairakei Resort Taupo by Accor

8/10 Good

"Love Wairakei Resort, always have. But not such a great experience over Kings Birthday Weekend. Booked a garden 'villa' I think it was called, like a semi-detached, with another adjoining unit attached. That the reservations crew booked us into a unit with a noisy family/chaotic kids on the other side of the wall when there were other units/'villas' available seems crazy. It was a long weekend, but by no means fully booked & not all with rowdy hyperactive kiddies. As the place wasn't full, it would have been better for everyone surely - over-stretched mum & family, & tired older couple needing a quiet night to break a long drive, if a bit more thought could have gone into the rooms allocated. Otherwise, room itself, facilities, pools, bar, etc all good 👍"

Ramada by Wyndham Hamilton City Center

10/10 Excellent

"I left my boots behind! Very expensive boots! I was so sad! I rang and the man followed up and found them!!!! And in the process of sending them back! I’m so happy with the service we have had and it’s in such an amazing location! Very warm and comfortable!"

Millennium Hotel and Resort Manuels Taupō

6/10 Okay

"This hotel is very tired. Check in was 3pm, yet many of the rooms were not ready until after 4pm. Other customers (Mainly overseas tourists) were given a drink voucher because their room wasn't ready, but we weren't or neither was another Kiwi guest. We eventually asked for one about 1/2 hour later & were given one. The bar area where people were waiting for their rooms wasn't big enough to accommodate everyone. Rooms had been updated but bathrooms were tired. The shower was very small & the lighting over the mirror was very dim, no good for my wife putting on her makeup. The food was excellent & so was the heated swimming pool, although there were no towels in the area, they had all been used & not topped up. Location is good & the views are lovely."
