Top Rotorua Hotel Reviews

Rydges Rotorua

Rydges Rotorua

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our room and the heated pool. We had an issue with the shower on our first night and the team had it fixed in a jiffy. My cleanliness rating is simply due to the shower vents which unfortunately is common in many hotels, but such a minor thing that so few bother to mention so it cannot be rectified. The buffet breakfast was wonderful, the beds comfortable, water pressure is such a simple thing but makes all the difference and ours was great. Lovely smelling soaps etc. very friendly staff. Actually a 5 star property in our opinion. Family of 3 had a great time. Thanks Rotorua Rydges team!"

"Such a beautiful old building that the owners are taking very good care of. The rooms were plush but small. The majority of the staff bent over backwards to help us and show us around. Recommend staying here for the history of the building."
