Hilton Lake Taupo
4.5/564 Reviews
As a Hilton Honors member, my stay at the hotel met the usual satisfactory quality. Peter at the front desk was excellent in accommodating our needs, and overall, we had a good time. However, I want to caution future guests to adjust their expectations: • The location, while quiet, is farther from the center and lakeside, requiring a car and likely keeping you at the hotel in the evening. • Our room, possibly the least expensive, was extremely small with limited space for sitting or even opening our suitcases. • Staff training or updated information is necessary; the website mentioned a happy hour, but there was none on Friday. Conflicting details about breakfast and check-out times were provided. • While amenities were nice, the steam room and sauna floor were dangerously slippery, leading to a hard fall and injury. Additionally, the pool water was not clean, with numerous hairs inside. • Some equipment, like the coffee machine, was not working.
Novotel Tainui Hamilton
4.2/5121 Reviews
We stayed at the novotel for 3 night while I had surgery. The hotel is clean and tidy. The rooms are great with everything you would need. We didn't get milk but saw them on a service cart so might have been missed. The rooms were quiet but wouldn't say sound proof. The only issue was parking. We paid 32 for valet parking and it's was fine first night as it was kept in the basement but then it got busy and they took it elsewhere. Hubby was trying to come see me after surgery and he waited 40 mins outside for the vehicle. He isn't someone who likes to go back and follow up he hates confrontation and he waited till 30 mins then went and asked. Staff were friendly and there was always someone on the desk. Room service was good and hubby had dinner but was quiet expensive. I wouldn't stay again if I needed parking. But if I didn't I'd stay there so close to town and hospital
Twin Peaks Lakeside Inn
3.8/5103 Reviews
There are some car hotels, right next to Lake Taupo, the scenery does not say, the car stops at the door of the room, very convenient, very suitable for self-driving travel. The rooms are compact but well-equipped, cooking and bathing are not a problem. It is very close to the supermarket and the place to eat, and there are two or three intersections by car. The New Zealand big sister at the front desk was very enthusiastic and stayed with milk.
Heartland Ambassador Hotel Hamilton
3.9/5102 Reviews
We stayed recently - had room 217 - and had a lovely smiling friendly welcome as we checked in. Our room was spotlessly clean, had really comfy beds, perfect! Breakfast was included in our booking, plenty of choice of cereals,fruit etc and you could order other items too. Good to have laundry facilities on site, they too were well kept and clean. If looking for dinner or lunch, try The Helm across the road as was suggested, good food and service - we can recommend the. PeriPeri chicken :-) Would happily book to stay here again.
Hahei Beach Resort
4.3/554 Reviews
Good location just next to the beach and room with parking just outside. Equipped with everything we need and clean. Not sure if its due to us living at the lower deck, when we sleep we can hear the people stepping upstairs above us. Nice shower and strong water.
Millennium Hotel & Resort Manuels Taupo
4.4/5123 Reviews
Beautiful rooms overlooking the lake. Plenty of space and large balcony to sit and enjoy the view. Location was excellent just far enough out of town to be quiet but close enough to walk in along a walkway. Staff were extremely friendly. Room was clean with lovely quality bedding Dinner in the on site restaurant was really good and with a great view of the lake. Breakfast was fairly basic but sufficient and of a good quality. We would definitely stay again when in this area highly recommended
Quality Inn Acapulco Taupo
4.1/599 Reviews
This hotel is very quiet, not far from Lake Taupo. The entrance to the yard is a large lawn. There is a road but not the main road. The surrounding environment is very good. There is a big supermarket within 5 minutes of driving. You can buy some ingredients to cook your own food. There are kitchen pots and pans, a double bed and single bed, suitable for family outings! Parking stops at the door of the room where you live! I will stay here now, and the price is right!
Ramada by Wyndham Hamilton City Center
3.8/5138 Reviews
The staff are amazing. I had a health scare while I was staying there. The closest ambulance was 3 hours away. One of the staff members I believe her name was Kodie, drove me in her own vehicle to the hospital. She was amazing. I can't thank her enough.
Taupo Debretts Spa Resort
4.2/5130 Reviews
Been meaning to stay for years as rest of family have many times. Loved it, BUT....... security needs updating. Maybe they are doing that as toilet security door was missing and so was front access barrier! Had some very suspect people using toilet and shower facilities this morning. Definitely didn't look like guest and didn't have caravan or tent. By the look of the face tattoos looked like and behaved like gang members. Without security gates or doors they will just come in. Also some people had a lot of food- meat stolen from fridge. Sad. :( ALL THAT SAID- it's still a lovely camp. Facilities are clean, and good location next to hot pools and good sites with reasonable privacy on most sites. Would stay again.
Abbots Hamilton Hotel and Conference Centre
3.5/555 Reviews
This was the cheapest hotel for Hamilton we could find, and it was absolutely fine. Ok, the location was a little bit hidden for a moment as it didn’t seem to clearly say ‘hotel’ or anything along the main road it was on, rather than it was a little turn off to properly enter it and see it. So, it needed to be more visible in my opinion. The top surface of the bed backboard didn’t look like it had been dusted in a while, but it wasn’t a problem. The beds were spring mattresses so that was a little old fashioned; it felt a little rickety and I would’ve preferred a normal mattress or similar. Apart from that, everything else was great and a great price too. Recommended if need a quick one or two nights.
