Top Waiotapu Hotel Reviews

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!"

Rydges Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Phone wasn’t working to call to reception. Power plug locating at the bathroom wasn’t operating at all."

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"

ibis Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Great room, perfect for what I needed. Slightly unfortunate that the water didn't work initially, but the team were swift at rectifying. Great location also"

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

8/10 Good

"great staff very helpful"

Prince's Gate Hotel

8/10 Good

"My room was on ground level and accessed from outside the building. It felt very safe. The room was beautiful and bed very comfortable. There was a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The bathroom was modern and spotless. Great location as you can walk everywhere. I went to Fat Cat café for breakfast which is a great spot."

Newina Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Comfortable beds and living area. Two bedrooms worked well for 4 of us. Great having 2 toilets (one in the bathroom) and one on it's own. Enjoyed the spa pool each evening. Shower nozzle wouldn't stay up but we managed a work around. Staff advised they would get this fixed. Would be helpful to have a few more utensils as very minimal if you wanted to try and make a meal e.g. serving bowls, extra sharp knife."

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."

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."
