Top Racing Rotorua Hotel Reviews

Rydges Rotorua

8/10 Good

"We booked here because they said we could charge an EV but when we went to use it it didn't have the right connections. It would be worth while to have the 3 types of outlets so that you can accommodate all EVs"

Arawa Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It is a very grand hotel and we loved our big king room, overlooking the racecourse! We dinned in the restaurant, with the food being lovely! Fairly priced, good portions, and range of food on the menu! The hotel needs patronage - it is a diamond amongst many hotels to choose from. We will stay there again!"

Thermal Oak Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great! Clean and convenient."

JetPark Hotel Rotorua

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice a bit basic but clean and friendly staff. The continental breakfast was ok but for $20 you get what you paid for. There is an option for a cooked breakfast, which was made to order. Unfortunately the security lock didn't work on the door but had no real concerns, i never felt unsafe. The beds were comfortable so that's always a bonus. I think one of the biggest attributes to the hotel was the staff, in-particular the two ladies who helped & talked me through my options for things to do, sadly I can't remember their names. But they were both really helpful. Overall it was a nice hotel & a good location"

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

8/10 Good

"great staff very helpful"

Fenton Court Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Gino and his staff are always accommodating and amazing. I am a frequent visitor and they are always exceeding standards."

Kings On Peace

10/10 Excellent

"The one bedroom with kitchen and sitting area was exactly as shown/described. Large kitchen / living room with full kitchen that had quality appliances. The washing machine with 2 detergent packets were useful. There was even a dryer to hang your clothes on. Room was efficiently serviced daily. Short walk to stores and cafe. There is a Māori thermal village that is 5 minutes away. We did not use the hot tub, but that was bubbling away. Recommended place to stay as we were very comfortable there."

Park Central Rotorua

8/10 Good

"The rooms were very basic, for the price you can’t complain, A coat hanger would be good just too hang your coats up etc. The room coffee and tea making gear but no milk or fridge so black it is… The staff/reception lady was very helpful. We mixed up our arrival day and she managed to book us into another room for the night with no extra charge.. we booked through Expedia.. Would I stay again….. probably. The place was very close to the redwoods treetop walk which was handy and also close to some restaurants etc."

Ashleigh Court Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely perfect weekend. Room was clean, bed was comfy and the spa bath was heaven. Great location as well, not too far away from everything but just far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. Will definitely stay here again."
