Rydges Rotorua

8/10 Good
"Staff here were welcoming and super helpful, everyone was really friendly. The room was a little outdated but very clean. The shower was a tad small, wouldn’t be ideal if you were very tall as the ceiling was low over the shower, but it wasn’t a problem for us. The games room for the kids was a great bonus and we spent quite a bit of time with our son down there, very fun! The outside heated pool was lovely, unfortunately two of the three nights only one spa was working. One night one was completely cold and then the next night it was only luke warm, the outdoor pool was hotter. Buffet breakfast lovely and yummy."

"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."
