Read MoreWe stayed here for two nights with our three primary aged children. The thermally heated pool was such good fun for all of us. The kids really enjoyed the buffet dinner and breakfast. We enjoyed that they ate free when we paid full price as we were staying there. Our room had a wonderful view out onto the Whakarewarewa thermal park - lots of trees with steam rising through them.
Nice, reasonably priced hotel - good option for families staying in Rotorua area. Conveniently located: around the corner from Whakarewarewa and within walking distance (or a short drive) to a number of local attractions. Well maintained/clean rooms. Breakfast that offers more options than your average hotel breakfast. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Good pool area. No major downsides, in case you are asking yourself what’s the catch. One thing I personally did not enjoy was the beds that are ridiculously soft and thus extremely uncomfortable. Otherwise perfect stay.

Have spent a couple of days enjoying the holiday inn here in Rotorua. Have gone for 5 goggles more because of the above and beyond service provided that has made this stay wonderful. Staff were courteous and kind, called to double check reservations we had made and then even offered an unscheduled shuttle drop into town so we got the best timings for a trip out. Called to let people know we were coming, really helpful in terms of allergies for the food and just an overall professionalism I was just really happy with. Rooms are lovely and of a standard size, standard Holiday Inn quality I know, but again, a lovely, peaceful stay with a little extra that you don’t often get. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Every morning the room was cleaned, our towels replaced and our beds made - the room looked completely fresh as if we had only just arrived. This was really lovely to come back to after a day of exploring. Location wise this was great - walking distance from the Polynesian Spa and a variety of restaurants and supermarkets. The buffet dinner and breakfast were definitely a highlight. A great assortment of sea food for dinner that was fresh (as can be at a buffet) and an absolutely amazing dessert selection.

Fast, friendly, helpful and classy staff. We turned up with no booking. We wanted to check the room out first, no problem. Even with four staff off sick and two wedding reception events that night, the staff happily took us to view the room. It was perfect. Clean, modern, good beds, great view of the steamy hills behind the hotel, big TV and a bathtub: who doesn’t love a good private soak with a wine and a book after roadtripping all day? Had a dip in the two outdoor Jacuzzis: no one there so we had one each! After that we hopped in the geothermal swimming pool. Hundreds of huge comfy pool towels provided poolside. We got changed into good pub meal clothes and went to reception to order a taxi. The receptionist pressed a button on the counter and said “they won’t be long”. And they weren’t! After having a great night on the town we got back to the hotel late. Room service! There was a gift shop in the hotel and a decent bar. Checkout 11am. How’s them apples?
