"This was our first time staying at this property, and we were very impressed. We stayed in a suite and found the check-in process to be quick and easy. It was also convenient to find a parking space close to our room, and we appreciated the range of facilities on offer. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay.

Rydges Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Rydges was a great hotel for exploring Rotorua. Kids eat free with an adult at the buffet, which greatly helped with costs. I loved the laundry machines being available to clean our dirty clothes so I could pack less. The hotel was quiet and the room was comfortable for 2 adults and a kid. I’ll happily return for another visit!"
