This centrally located hotel is very convenient and family friendly."

"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

STAY280 & STAY284 Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, helpful staff, easy parking"

Ambassador Thermal Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a really lovely stay here over the weekend. The staff were fantastic — friendly, welcoming and genuinely helpful — and the hotel itself was lovely. I’d noticed some of the less-than-great reviews before staying, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. Yes, the hotel is a little dated in places, but honestly, if you’re travelling around New Zealand, that’s hardly unusual — especially in Rotorua! For us, it was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed and the staff really made the stay. We were very happy with our experience and would happily stay again. 😊"

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

8/10 Good

"Arrived at 2pm, wasn't able to check in until 6pm. People everywhere unable to check in to rooms amd having to wait, very frustrating and disappointing"

Millennium Hotel Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Good location. The room was a bit dated but I think they are working on it"

Rydges Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is really suitable for family!"

Sudima Lake Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Great location close to the city"

Regent of Rotorua

8/10 Good

"The hotel is clean, tidy, modern and conveniently located. There is not one bad thing I could say about the state of the hotel itself. Staff were very friendly and helpful. One disappointing matter however is the fact the TV did not have Netflix (or other streaming apps) available - nor was the TV connected to the internet so you couldn’t download the apps onto the TV or screen mirror/share from your mobile. We were stuck watching regular TV."

Prince's Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Charming, older hotel, with beautifully decorated rooms. Vintage, but with modern bathrooms & heat a/c. Front desk staff helpful and accommodating to my needs. Would book again."

Aura Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very accommodating of our need for early check-in. The rooms were great, and the motel has a perfect location for downtown activities. "
