Urban Lounge Sleepery, SureStay Collection by BW ★★★

📍 1286 Arawa Street, Rotorua

"Room is good and there was a pool. The shared bathroom is toooooo tiny. Parking is $10 if you drive. Didn’t go to the kitchen. Location is great close to everything but bathroom was the only problem."

Newina Rotorua
8.6 (70 reviews)

Newina Rotorua ★★★★★

📍 3 Bidois Road, Fairy Springs, Rotorua

"I stayed here for 2 nights with my parents as a family of 5. There is a Wooli (mart) in front of the accommodation, and there are many restaurants such as McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Wendy's, so it was convenient. I recommend staying here when traveling around Rotorua. (The facilities were clean and nice.) The only downside is that you can only use the stairs to go up to the 2nd floor, so I recommend it for everything except carrying your carrier."

Millennium Hotel Rotorua
8.8 (243 reviews)

Millennium Hotel Rotorua ★★★★

📍 1270 Hinemaru Street, Rotorua

"This is a large hotel that attracts many tour groups. There's a famous Chinese restaurant nearby with delicious seafood and fried rice. The hotel and rooms have a strong sulfur smell, probably because it's located in a hot spring area. However, I must mention that the heater in my room wasn't working. It seemed like the heaters on the entire floor were broken. The staff came up twice to try and fix it but couldn't. In the end, I had to borrow a portable heater from the hotel to get through the night."

Haka House Rotorua ★★★★

📍 1278 Haupapa Street, Rotorua

Hideaway of Rotorua

Hideaway of Rotorua ★★★★

📍 436 Ngongotaha Road, Fairy Springs, Rotorua

"Here's what I loved about this place: 1. **Immersive Farm Experience:** From the moment we checked in, we were given food to feed the alpacas. Stepping out of our room, we were greeted by a large lawn where four gentle alpacas and a little lamb roamed leisurely. Our kids spent the entire afternoon feeding the animals – it was incredibly therapeutic! Waking up, we could open the window and watch alpacas grazing. In the evening, sitting on the patio as the sunset painted the grass was an absolutely unique and magical atmosphere. 2. **Private Cabins with All the Comforts:** All units are standalone cabins, each with its own private entrance and yard. There's a dedicated free parking spot right at the door, making luggage handling and parking super convenient. The rooms were spotless and brand new, equipped with AC, heating, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a smart TV. Each unit also boasts a full kitchen with all the pots, pans, and utensils you could need, so buying groceries and cooking your own meals is a breeze. Perfect for both short and long stays. The bedding was soft, and the double-glazed windows provided excellent sound insulation – at night, all we heard were birds and the wind, ensuring a wonderfully peaceful sleep. 3. **Kid-Friendly & Stress-Free for Parents:** The property features a huge outdoor play area with a trampoline, swings, and a sandpit slide, allowing kids to burn off energy while parents can relax on the patio. The host is Chinese, so communication in Mandarin was seamless. They were incredibly helpful with small things like needing a travel adapter or extra daily essentials, paying attention to every detail. 4. **Perfect Location: Secluded Yet Convenient:** Just a 6-minute drive from the city center, it's quiet and peaceful without the city noise. Yet, it's incredibly close to all the main attractions: Skyline Gondola, Te Puia Māori Village, ZORB, and Agrodome Farm are all within a 1-3 minute drive. No need to rush in the mornings to get to your activities, perfectly balancing tranquility with travel convenience."

Koura Lodge Hotels in Rotorua

"The hotel is in a very good location. The scenery is very beautiful. The service is also very good. The attitude is very good. The hotel does not have hot springs, but there are spas and saunas, which can be used for free. The only problem is that the sound insulation is a bit poor. You can hear any sound."

On the Point - Lake Rotorua Hotels in Rotorua

On the Point - Lake Rotorua

"My wife and I stayed here near the start of our tour of New Zealand and what a great start it was. The setting is stunning and the room was beautiful, with a panoramic view of Lake Rotorua. Sam was waiting for us as we arrived and very kindly showed us around, and to our room. All of the staff were very friendly, polite and welcoming. Mel makes a very good ‘Old Fashioned’ and was very informative and happy to chat about his Māori heritage. The only issue we had was the noise made by the occupants above us who seemed to be walking around in hard soled shoes on a hard floor. This kept us awake until after 01:30am. We asked to be moved and were swapped to a 1st floor room a couple of nights after. Although the noise wasn’t completely the fault of the hotel, I would recommend asking for an upstairs room. Some better insulation or softer floor surface would help to minimise disturbance to ground floor residents. Despite the above, I would highly recommend the hotel because of the location and staff."

Prince's Gate Hotel ★★★★★
"The hotel is beautiful, and comfortable. Staff are very attentive and helpful in every way, from front desk to cleaning the rooms to serving the meals. Sadly the hotels spas and sauna were not functional and the “free” service at the Polynesian was over crowded and full of kids. No towels were supplied and an extra charge is charge to get a towel. But the experience is not overly unpleasant. Location is great as it is close to all attractions and the lake."

"We stayed 3 nights in this lovely motel complex. Our room was very spacious, with room to sit comfortable on the sofa. It included a mini kitchen which we used everyday. Bed very comfortable, bathroom fully quipped with excellent shower. We had double doors out to small patio area in front of a paddock which had alpacas, a sheep & rabbits roaming. On arrival given food to feed the animals if we wanted to. This added to the enjoyment. There were two of us adults, but this is also a very family oriented place with play equipment for children, so would suit families too. We used the onsite laundry services which were a great help. All in all a great stay, well looked after by the staff too."
