8.4/10 Very Good! (1,000 reviews)
Central city hotel that was easy to find, our room was spacious and clean with wet room bathroom so no need to climb into a bath to have a shower. Some road noise but rooms are back from Hobson St so not too bad (double glazing would help) There's limited onsite parking and as there was work being done on the front of the Hotel the contractors seem to take most of the parks. Hopefully once completed that will free up. Easy to walk to central Queens St etc (10min) and we found lots of restaurants at K Road (20 min) We will remember to stay again as Hotel is reasonably priced and ticks all the boxes. We didn't try the breakfast offering.

This was a great hotel to stay at as it was very centrally located. The parking situation was a little confusing at first but the staff was extremely helpful and sweet about explaining everything to us foreign travelers ☺️

10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
The location with shops and restaurants were perfect and the train station a 1 min walk. The was very nice and up to a high standard. I had some friends who lived in nearby condos to check it out because if they have family coming for visit, it was a great place to put them up or if a large family, they move into this place.
The constructive comment, it rain hard the other night and as you walk from the car park and enter on the left side, the rain gutters in the left-side on the smaller building needs to be checked out because it was full running over the top. This would be an easy fix and not a major issue. I have no problems recommending this place.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Waikato vacation package cost?
Discover the best of Waikato from as little as ¥164,820. We offer a great selection of hotels, flights and rental cars to suit every budget and style. You can pick up even more discounts when you add some tours or activities to your vacation package.
How do I get a cheap travel package to Waikato?
One of the easiest ways to save dollars (and time) is to combine your bookings with Expedia. Hotels, flights, rental cars and activities — we've got them all. Pick and choose the combination that suits you and watch your savings pile up. Of course, a package deal is never a one-size-fits-all. That's why we offer more than 550 partner airlines and 1,000,000 hotels worldwide, which lets you customize your Waikato vacation.
What are the top hotels in Waikato?
Check out Chateau Tongariro Hotel and Novotel Tainui Hamilton. They're top picks for many travelers headed to Taupo. If Whitianga features in your travel itinerary, Peninsula Motel and Rolleston Motel Thames – Wenzel Motels are a couple of cozy options.
How far in advance should I book my Waikato vacation?
While not all air carriers advertise tickets early, it's usually possible to compare international fares on Expedia up to a year in advance. This is the time when you can nab some incredible deals. If you've left everything to the last minute, you might get lucky. Low prices sometimes appear only weeks before departure.
What does an Expedia Waikato travel package include?
From airfares and hotels to car rentals, Expedia can help you shape a Waikato package that's ideal for you. Heading away for a week or two? Give some thought to a rental car, hotel and flight bundle. If you're taking a short break, a hotel and flight deal may be more your style. Activities can also be added once you've made your booking. Our travel packages make it a breeze to plan and save.
What should I know before booking a Waikato travel package?
A travel package can be easier on the hip pocket than individually booking all you need for your escape. For example, bundle your hotels, flights and rental cars and save big. Whatever type of vacation you have in mind, you'll find a package that fits your budget.
Can I choose my airline with a Waikato Expedia vacation package?
Yes, you're in charge. Expedia has access to more than 550 airlines across the globe, so you can design your Waikato adventure according to your budget and needs.
If I'm not able to travel, can I cancel my Waikato vacation package?
Don't worry if you're rethinking your Waikato vacation package — it's possible to change or amend your booking. And if you've booked it within the last 24 hours, you may be able to do it for free. However, bookings made more than 24 hours ago may incur a fee from your hotel, airline or car rental company. We totally understand your circumstances can change suddenly, so head to our Customer Service Portal if that happens. When you're ready to make changes, we're here to help.
