"Excellent hotel, nothing is missing, the room was spacious enough for four people, there is a nice heated pool that our girls would not leave, a well equipped play room for kids and adults too. and a very nice restaurant - we had breakfast and dinner and I can still feel the taste of the wonderful tomato soup!"

Quest Rotorua Central

Quest Rotorua Central

10/10 Excellent
"The room was very conveniently laid out, bright and had all the amenities of an apartment. Missing was a cooking range but that is not a deal breaker. The freezer section was very small so we had to shop for food daily but it wasn't much of a bother either. Security is excellent. WiFi strength was very good. Housekeeping was daily and was definitely a pleasant experience but honestly can be reduced to one every two days. Although old, the dishwasher worked well and so did the washer dryer in the room. Location is super convenient with everything within a short walking distance. Hotel property extremely clean and looked after. Staff very helpful and quick to respond to requests."

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."
