Hotels With Wi-Fi in Bay of Plenty, New Zealand

I stayed here for two nights in May 2023. The hotel is located on the main street in Rotorua, about a 10-minute walk from the main shopping centre. Just up the road, about a 5-minute walk away, there are a couple of supermarkets. The airport is a 10-minute drive away. The hotel has plenty of parking. The room was very big with a small kitchenette, large bathroom, table and chairs etc. However, the room was showing its age and could do with an upgrade. Unfortunately the room was cold. I had the heating on but, given the size of the room, it took a long time to heat up. It was uncomfortable. There was no extra blanket for the bed. The wifi worked well. The service at the front desk was good. For what I paid, this hotel was good value. However, for my next trip to Rotorua, I would be prepared to pay a bit more for something warmer and more up to date.

The location of the hotel is very good. It is located in the city center. The tourist center and various tourist attractions are very convenient. The environment is good and the service attitude is very good. I will continue to live here next time. This is the surrounding attractions

Nice hotel good location easy to get to main land city too but also close to all the major activities and beaches Room clean and spacious comfortable bed good view of ocean Rooftop pool and bar with view over ocean and beaches Staff friendly but a little bit more knowledge would have helped! Asked if we could hire a couple of cycles but said they don’t have any asked if they knew where we could hire them and they didn’t know but as soon as we walked down to the main road we found some self renting cycles… also asked where you can smoke and was directed to go through other hotel and out where the 7/11 24/7 shop was and there’s smoking area in courtyard but when we went back to our hotel we found a smoking area on the rooftop not sure why they didn’t tell us this… Entrance to hotel a little hard to find as you access it via underground car park or via the other hotel Would stay here again though..

Had 2 nights here to go to the very lovely collection of gardens for visiting during the 3 day Rotorua Festival of Gardens. Was attending the weekend solo so didnt want to pay too much so $50 a night for my own room was affordable and good value. Would have been worth spending a few more dollars to have had a room with an ensuite which are on the ground floor so also wouldnt have had to go up and down stairs to room on 1st floor and be half way down the corridor from the bathrooms. Just saw in the news yesterday that yha in nz is folding/closing all its hostels....a travesty to nz tourism and national and international travellers! Tragic news

The place was nice, but not as exceptional as we expected by others reviews. Things are a little worn in the room we were in. In the morning my wife went to use the spa/hot tub and after filling it with water she turned it on and it spewed out extremely dirty water. Manager said it was because the hotel was old. I disagree. - it simply needed a better cleaning. Use bleach and fill, run and refill the hot tub until it comes out clean. It’s not rocket science. They don’t offer any kind of refund but they did offer us a couple of candy bars and an apology.

It is a motorhome and campground. It seems to be very popular in New Zealand. When you arrive at a holiday, the family rents a RV and runs around. The scattered spots are few people, so you can only play like this. There is a public kitchen with tableware, but it is less than the seasonings. Bathing is going to go all the way to the open air, and the hot springs are also. The hot springs are not bad, it feels like the door to hell, but of course there is no such landscape. In fact, the door to hell is just a good place to go shopping, so the meaning of the bubble is not so big.

Our stay was fabulous. We had a spa room which was also fantastic even though it was chilly outside. It was well worth it. The rooms were clean, the bed comfortable and it had everything we needed. My husband's only complaint was there were no sky channels available and we needed our own netflix etc. accounts. We did have to fight for parking even though there was parking straight outside the rooms and some people coming with more than one vehicle per room. (Hubby has lung issues so needed close parking), otherwise we thoroughly loved it - thank you.

Peaceful and picturesque location by the lake with well sized rooms and comfortable mattresses. Free laundry facilities, parking and good quality shower gel/shampoo. Room cleanliness could be better. Fridge door had old food stains on it, ironing board cover was stained and our floor didn’t seem to be vacuumed during our stay. It’s not close to restaurants/cafes, apart from McDonalds, which is problematic as the hotel restaurant is shut Monday and Tuesday- the days we happened to be staying. So no dinner or breakfast options available on those days. Staff are friendly and helpful. We had a ground floor room, but I suggest asking for a top floor which has a balcony and better lake views.

I stayed in the Sudima Lake Rotorua Hotel for three nights while attending a conference. The Sudima was selected as it was the cheapest of the four listed by the conference organisers. The accommodation and buffet breakfasts were standard and wouldn’t in themselves warrant a review, either positive or negative. What did warrant a review, however, was the check-in experience. This is the reason for the level-two rating. Having stayed at a range of accommodation – from higher end to backpacker - I cannot recall anything like it, either here in New Zealand or overseas. There was one person at the reception desk and only one other guest checking-in before me. That check-in took a seemingly interminable time, but that can happen for whatever reason. My check-in appeared normal, but thereafter the experience ‘went to custard’. Assigned a room on the third floor I duly went with my bag to the room. Arriving there the magnetic door card wouldn’t open the door. I then returned to the reception desk, explained the situation and was provided with a new set of door cards. I then proceeded back to the third floor and, yes, the door cards this time successfully opened the door. However, upon entering the room I was surprised to find evidence that someone else was using the room. Material around the room showed that this person was also a conference attendee. (Interestingly there was a half drunk bottle of whisky on a table, but alas it was a blend and not a single malt so there was no temptation to take a few swigs.) Using the room’s telephone, I called the reception number but there was no response. Anxious that the room’s inhabitant may return I returned once more to the reception desk to be provided with a new room and corresponding door cards. Another ascent to the third floor finally eventuated with valid room occupancy at the Sudima Lake Rotorua Hotel. The time lapse since first entering the hotel stretched to about 40 minutes.

We came away on a short vacation and were recommended this hotel by family. We were not disappointed! The service was great, the spa was wonderful and the beds were super comfy. The variety at continental breakfast was pretty good and the staff were lovely. Definitely recommend them!

Super friendly, approachable and caring staff, great place to stay and everything is kept super clean and the outdoor area is so nice. Definitely recommend staying here, super nice to be close to the mountain / Beach absolutly great value for your money.

I stayed at this property for a night when travelling on the road. It was my second stay at this property though the previous stay was a decade ago. This time I stayed at a suite for the night. The suite was spacious with a good layout and split between the living area and the bedroom. I was able to do some work, eat, chill out and sleep within the suite nicely. The suite also had a very small balcony though it was just overlooking the back of several buildings around . Staff at the hotel was attentive and efficient, though staying there only for one night meant my encounters with staff was limited. I enjoyed my stay at this property and will consider staying here if I visit Tauranga again in the future.

this is the 4th time we have stayed here . it is close to the main street , has a nice chilled out vibe with good facilities and is a really good price. the only problem we found this time was we had booked to escape our busy lives and relax for a few days. we were put in room 10 under where the owners stay with their young kids i am not sure if they are aware but the ceiling is very thin and for all 3 mornings from 6AM through to 9AM it is just constant running / jumping / screaming from the kids and i know that sounds harsh but when you book a few days away and get woke every morning like this it is very very off putting. i will stay here again but only if we can be at the opposite end of the property. we honestly don't mind people making a bit of noise but constant jumping and thumping rite above your head from early every morning is not ideal at all

Due to a family emergency I stayed here three nights at short notice - lucky to get a room as it is in high demand. The executive studios are good-sized and clean, with new appliances, air conditioning and large TV with access to Sky plus personally-subscribed providers like Netflix etc. Reception very accessible, and from conversations I learned the proprietor has a lot of international experience running high end accommodation. Free parking, and literally across the road from Tauranga Hospital's main entrance. The CBD is a few minutes' drive away, supermarket and eateries within walking distance. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again - terrific

The hotel is located in the city center, eating and shopping is also convenient. Similar to a business hotel, the room is large and clean. The only thing that bothers me is the smart light. At night, no one walks around and it is completely off. It is very unfriendly to me who likes to leave the light at night. I don't know if I didn't set it up.

[Location] The location of the hotel is north of the city of Tauranga, but it is not far away, which is about 800m. [Service] The service is okay, because I arrived early, I ordered coffee in the lobby and waited for a while. After that, the front desk got the room card to find you and said the room was Ready. [Health] Overall good [Facilities] The hotel does not have sound insulation at all. The super noisy facilities are too old, but it does not break. The hotel does not provide toothbrushes and slippers. It only provides shampoo conditioner and soap. If necessary, you can ask at the front desk. (I bring my own toiletries and slippers) The air conditioner has a serious noise. The position of the plug is not provided on the bed. It is too inconvenient to go to the charging bathroom under the TV. The design of the washstand in the bathroom is particularly shallow and old-fashioned. Trouble hotel free parking underground and outdoor but underground needs to find unreserved parking spaces or it will be towed away After the follow-up check-out complained, the hotel sent two breakfasts, but the breakfast type was too small ... you know, but after all, do n’t want the money.

The Motel has been newly renovated and the price is very high. The boss is a very enthusiastic person. When I checked in, I missed the check in time. The boss warmly received us and introduced all the facilities in detail. The facilities are complete, the transportation is convenient, it is very close to the supermarket, not far from the seaside, and the price is very high.

I stayed in room 002, ground floor. This was a two bedroom apartment (I was upgraded). It was spacious, and clean and tidy. I've stayed in Quests from Auckland to Invercargill and this was one of the best. I book serviced apartments when I travel so I can prepare my own food. Often the kitchens are quite poorly equipped. Maybe there's no sieve, or no tin opener, or no vegetable peeler. This one had everything I needed for once! And they passed my personal acid test: the iron was completely free of burn marks! The staff at Quest kindly took my supermarket delivery order and even put things in the freezer and fridge as appropriate (I've had other places leave frozen food to thaw). It's quiet and well positioned for the centre of town. Unlimited WiFi is a real plus. I'm not much of a TV watcher but there seemed to be a full Sky service.

Everything was ideal for our stay at the motel. We arrived without a booking due to complications with another booking we had made in town and Lorraine and Athol found us alternative accommodation until they had a vacancy for us. We found the unit spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The daily servicing was carried out by very friendly staff. The location is within easy walking distance to the CBD to enjoy the variety of cafes, restaurants, bars, shops and an easy drive to the fabulous beaches at the Mount and Papamoa beaches. We will definitely stay there again and recommend the Harbour View Motel as a great place to stay. Thanks, Lorraine and Athol.

Super friendly, approachable and caring staff, great place to stay and everything is kept super clean and the outdoor area is so nice. Definitely recommend staying here, super nice to be close to the mountain / Beach absolutly great value for your money.

Booked last minute as a birthday treat. Did not realise on booking that you had to check in before 6pm, I called at 5.55 to let them know we were 10 minutes alway but no answer. Arrived just after 6pm, had to call the after hours we were meet by a man, we had already prepaid the room which was $266 for a bottom floor, one bedroom apartment. He told us we needed to pay a bond which I assumed would be $50-$100. We had to pay a $250 bond upfront to stay here. That was our dinner and activities money for the night. So had to cancel our plans. The room was dated, there was no body/hair wash left. There was no milk in the fridge so couldn't make a hot drink. As others have mentioned there are signs all over the room about extra charges, if you ring them after 9pm for anything you will get charged, if you leave anything in the room you will be charged and even more unnecessary fees. Tiny rubbish bin. The room was a good size but the headboard on the double bed isn't attached so everytime you turn over it bangs and so when you are there for a child free night you can imagine how much it was banging. It was right next to the road and it was a raining miserable night and it was loud, cars driving past, people walking/running past you can hear everything, image it during the busy season. The noise from the above room you can here people walking around. We were quite disappointed so I had a look at the other reviews this morning and I really wish I had of read them before booking here :( On check out which you had to wait as they are only there at reception between 8.30-10am on weekends. I asked the man to refund my $250 bond and he said that he can't and it won't be refunded until about Tuesday but it can take 10 business days. We had said about the missing amenities and he didn't care. Then we asked about all the bad reviews and he started getting angry. My husband reliased we had left a bag in the room and wanted to go get it and as we were approaching the room my husband made a comment about no wonder you have so many bad reviews and he told my husband to shut his mouth and he locked the room door and said to get out! He was not going to allow us to go back into the room to get our things. And said to ring the police if we wanted our stuff back. By this stage my husband was really mad and I ended up needing to call the police so they could go get our stuff from the room. Our uber driver had shown up and manager/man on reception had disappeared and some other lady that was obviously to what was happening came out and I said can I just get the key and I'll go get our stuff since we don't actually have to check out until 10am and she was saying I can't, I don't know what is happening. A couple minutes later she comes back in with our bag and continued to argue. Even the uber driver heard it and he is a 70 year old man and he came in to the reception and said they should not of been treating customer how they treated us. I will be going to

The dirtiness of the room was pretty under-whelming, there were dirty scissors on top of the shower area, a blanket just chucked in the wardrobe, dirty marks on the duvet, pillows were scattered around the room. I honestly thought our room hadn’t been cleaned when we checked in, the bed looked like it hadn’t been made properly. There was a grotty old soap on the shower drain hole. There was butter on a plate in the microwave wrapped with tinfoil. The blinds didn’t work properly and the window handle was broken so couldn’t shut it. Our front door wouldn’t lock properly and the receptionist looked at me like I was thick and said she would take a look, not sure if she did or not. The apartment next to us were really noisey but the night manager dealt with that really quickly. Location is good and there is a car park available but extremely tight but suffice. I probably wouldn’t return unless I had to.

The place is very accesible from state hiway and few blocks away from Bayfair mall. We did not expect that a motel could have been that complete. The check in was very smooth. The guy accompanied us to our room. The unit has 2 floors. Ground floor has 1 single bed, small receiving area and mini kitchen. Mini kitchen has cuttleries, kitchen utensils, pans and mini fridge. The toilet hAs bath tub and complete with toiletries. Queen size bed is uptairs. I must commend this has the most generous plug/ socket that we have ever stayed in! I think the entire unit has 5 x 2 plugs. Yehey!! Thats 10 gadgets or appliance at the same time. Lol. There is a heater panel as well but electric fan is provided too. We are delighted that we were able to use their heated pool After a tiring day from walking around. The check out was fast and easy too! Will recommend this motel to everyone who does not expect something grand and not fussy. We are happy to stay here again and again in the future

Location was great. Easy walk to The Mount and the beach. Lots of shops, restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Bed was super comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. Could have been more generous with toilet paper, bin liners, and soap provided in the room, but I guess if we asked management for more it would have been provided. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.
