"The rooms were exceptionally clean — honestly, some of the cleanest accommodation we stayed in during our trip. Cleanliness is the most important thing to me when choosing somewhere to stay, and this property absolutely exceeded expectations. It was clear that everything was meticulously maintained and genuinely cared for. A staff member showed us to our room when we arrived and walked us through the amenities, which was such a nice touch. Everyone was very friendly throughout our stay and kept...

Top Rotorua Museum Hotel Reviews

ibis Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Was there for one night and it was good value. Sheets had a few marks on them other than that no issues."

STAY280 & STAY284 Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, available, accommodating to my needs. Spotless room. Nespresso nice touch!"

Ambassador Thermal Motel

8/10 Good

"It was perfect for our needs, upstairs and lake view, perfect location"

Sudima Lake Rotorua

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a Family room (one room with a king bed and the 2nd room with two twin beds). Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The bathroom was a bit small but fine if you can get ready one at a time. We absolutely loved the use of Te Reo across the hotel signage and the beautiful local artwork and significant history told in the artwork. We had a lovely experience with Sevyn at checkin who was incredibly helpful. The one disappointing experience was that prior to our stay I had messaged and requested a late checkout of midday so I could dial into an important meeting, the manager replied said no problem. Sevyn also confirmed this at checkin. Well 7mins past the regular 11am checkout time, and in the middle of my online meeting the phone started ringing with reception asking when we would be checking out - I had to explain I had requested a late checkout “oh yeah that’s in the notes” so back to my meeting only at 11:16 housekeeping banging repeatedly on the door to ask if we had checked out. Again had to stop my meeting to answer the door and these questions. So after a great stay it ended in a frustrating last hour and two rude encounters from staff who could have read “the notes” and not disturbed me. Upon checkout I mentioned this to the receptionist who admitted it was her who had dialled and that she had just not bothered to check the notes. So just a word of war in for anyone requesting a late checkout out."

Prince's Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay with an excellent restaurant"

Aura Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Aura Accommodation. Even though we arrived late in the evening, the warm welcome and friendly hospitality made us feel comfortable right away. One of the highlights was our beautiful room with a lovely view of Lake Rotorua. Waking up to the peaceful lake scenery each morning made our stay even more memorable. We also appreciated that our room was serviced while we were out enjoying an early morning activity. It was so nice to return to a clean and tidy room after a busy day. The excellent service, comfortable accommodation, and great location made our family trip truly enjoyable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend Aura Accommodation to anyone visiting Rotorua."

Regent of Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Service was good, room was clean, nice property, nice location as well"

Haka House Rotorua

8/10 Good

"It’s great for the price you pay."

Marsden Stay Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is the star of this hotel. Before the check-in, the woman staff was able to reassure how to access the hotel after hours. It was simple and I got in easily for my 3 nights stay. When I check-out, the man staff was very helpful to store my luggage. When I came back to the hotel, it started to rain. I waited until I can walk to the bus station (intercity) but the rain kept going on. The same man asked me if I wanted to have a poncho. To clarify, this is not expected as a service at the hotel. He went above and beyond. I am so amazed by the attention of the staff. They make you feel good at their place. Other than that, the room is very spacious and clean for the duration. You can open your luggage with ease."
