Top Rotorua Museum Hotel Reviews

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."

Millennium Hotel Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Handy location, walking distance from Polynesian Spa, town centre and gardens. Staff were friendly and helpful, spacious well-appointed reception area ideal for meeting up with friends."

Rydges Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Nice"

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."

Pullman Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Property is new, really well maintained with helpful staff. Buffet breakfast was great. Highly recommend."

Ambassador Thermal Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The hot pools and the rooms were very comfortable. Near town and Rotorua lake."

Marsden Stay 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."
