everything was good except for the temperature controller in the room, it was an analogue one which was hard to set the desired temperature to, it was either too cold or too hot, due to this, all of us were not able to sleep too well.
apart from that issue, the family loved the buffet breakfast and the heated pools.

We had a big group and all of us were comfortable. We did not get to use any of the facilities in the hotel as it was a short stay. Breakfast was average but filling. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Rotorua is living proof of the magnificent, and sometimes mind-boggling, might of nature. Smoking hot springs, bubbling mud pools and fast-spouting geysers give the surrounding landscape an almost other-worldly feel.
This New Zealand city sits in the Waimangu Volcanic Valley, the world’s newest geothermal hotspot. It was created after the 1886 eruption that covered Te Wairoa Buried Village, between 2 of many lakes gracing this fertile terrain. By Lake Rotorua’s shores is the luxurious Polynesian Spa with its thermal pools. Just behind in Government Gardens are the city’s best cultural offerings: the Arts Village, Tamaki Maori Village and Rotorua Museum, in an elegant former bath house.
Native animals roam in Rainbow Springs Kiwi Wildlife Park below Mount Ngongotaha, accessible via the Skyline cable car. The views while ascending make it obvious why this is called the Bay of Plenty. Tikitere Thermal Park on the opposite side of the lake is known as Hell’s Gate, but as long as you can ignore the sulphuric smell, the spas are simply heavenly.
More springs are in Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve, whose surrounding forest is popular for mountain biking, and Wai-O-Tapu where the Champagne Pool is a striking mix of green and orange.
Booking.com’s accommodation range is as diverse as the scenery, encompassing luxury hotels, cheap hostels and motels near Rotorua Airport.
So much to do. Something for everyone and options for all ages and abilities. The scenery is beautiful. I loved walking through the redwoods.
The tourist attractions are expensive and that is a shame as you need to choose and cannot do as much as you would like if you are on a budget.
However, it is a beautiful city and I will definitely return.

Rotorua is a great place to stay with plenty to see and do as long as the weather is fine. When wet there are not a lot of indoor activities to do other the Polynesian Pools, Government Gardens, and the Maori Village with the carving displays.
Many restaurants are available with a great variety of cuisines.
Accommodation is many and varied but it can be difficult to find one that meets all expectations as some of the advertising is not that clear.

This house is large and has everything needed but furniture and bedding are old. House could be cleaned a bit better as the room I stayed in had cobwebs in the corners. The furniture is old and stained from use. The sheets on my bed were stained and the bedding was old. All bedding was clean. This house is on the edge of Rotorua and takes about 7 minutes to drive to the CBD. It rates quite a bit above where it should but houses of this size are not that common. We only used two of the four bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped, but we did not do any cooking. Both bathrooms were fully functional. Outside under the carport there are drying lines for clothing. There were towels and blankets hanging on the clotheslines the entire two days we stayed here.

2 or 3 day stay is enough to see the most interesting sights. One of the hot pools is definitely worth a visit, probably Polynesian as they are the staple (or Wai Ariki but that's more expensive). We also loved the gondola and a buffet dinner on top of the hill in the Stratosphere restaurant. One of the maori villages is also a must, we did Whakarewarewa which was informative and the cultural dance was great to see. Waimangu valley is great.

This beautiful town has a wealth of things to do, sights to see and the people are friendly and engaging.
Lots of things to interest most if not everyone.
Ranging from adventure activities, to beautiful sights, thermal pools and spas to relax in and cultural/historical enrichment around every corner. A real treat
The hotel is in walking distance to the Polynesian Spa, the Government House, the lake front with several playgrounds, cafes and restaurants. It has 3 hot pool - one suitable for children, the hottest around 39 degree. There is also the Duke restaurant attached to the property. We enjoyed the mulled wine in front of the fire place. We stayed in the one-bedroom studio with kitchenette which is good for a small family who want to prepare own meals. The hotel staff is friendly and very accommodating.
Having a big spa bath was great. The whole family loved using it and it created some family time together. The rooms were well appointed and clean. It was surprising quiet considering the main road was close by. The Hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful and when we asked to stay another night, they were accommodating and nothing seemed a bother. It was also nice to get a decent bottle of milk, not the little sachets of milk that some motels/hotels give.
Hotel staff were really friendly and helpful online and in person, especially the hotel cat that roams around the facility doing his security checks. rooms exceeded expectations, beds and pillows were comfy, plenty of space for a big family and everything was clean. If you plan on staying awhile in rotorua I recommend this place, Hotels close to all the fun things to do in town I will definitely be staying here again.
Very close to Rotorua lakefront, very walkable. Nice mineral soaking pools. Very eco-friendly practices - loved it! Best of all, the extremely, friendly, helpful and responsive staff. Shoutout to Chloe and Poppy who helped with early checkin, calling airport for lost water bottle, booking canopy tour, suggesting restaurants for vegetarians… they were so friendly and helpful. 5 stars and beyond!!
the property was perfect, clean and had everything you would need! nice big cozy bed, kitchen had lots of complementary hot drink options, and bathroom was perfectly clean.
The man working the front desk went above and beyond to make sure we were well set up for our stay. I will definitely be recommending this place to any of my friends and family that come to visit New Zealand.
My favourite hotel in Rotorua since i was a child. The facilties of the spa are still good. I like the beds and the view of the lake. This is always a draw card. I prefer this location because it’s more quiet and the hotel sits alone without so much traffic and noise. The rooms also have balconies. Something some of the other hotels don’t have.
Nice clean spacious room. We booked this room specifically for the balcony which a lot of other Hotels do not have in Rotorua. The Spa was great and cleaned after every use.Great location within walking distance to a lot of great cafe's and restaurants. Lots of parking outside with a long stay carpark a couple of minutes away.
Great family getaway destination in Rotorua (although the facility is quite aged, there is very nice outdoor heated swimming pool for children to play). We stayed across two executive suite rooms the rooms were clean and cosy. Very friendly staffs especially Aditya’s assistance was noticeable.
Location was great. They allowed us to park our trailer there. They upgraded us to a poolside cabin, which was lovely! Shower water pressure was strong- so unusual in most hotels and motels etc. friendly staff at reception. Excellent kitchen in the unit. Clean and plenty of room!
My family and I loved our stay the Location was amazing and was so awesome with the lake/park within close walking distance. The beds are very comfy, and the pool/spa were a definite bonus. We would stay again without hesitation. Thanks Novotel Rotorua A+ from me and mine.
We had to make a change of plans due to an injury and one of our party was in a w/c.
Richard was really good about working with us to make the changes that we needed.
We would highly recommend this hotel.
They treated us very kindly and professionally.
The location is good with plenty or nearby parking if the main hotel carpark is full. Beds were comfortable. Free wifi was very fast and easy to connect to. Breakfast was okay but had decent selection.
Pool and location. The hotel is suitable for people on the budget. It has everything you need. Parking is off street with plenty of parking available. Great receptionist, very welcoming.
The hotel was located near the lake and walking distance to many wonderful restaurants. The hotel staff was very friendly and provided excellent customer service.
staff was easy to communicate with; location was close to most everything in Rotorua (given you have a car); the rooms were honest and nice for a motel status
The location was great, and we particularly enjoyed the outdoor heated pool. The hotel is very family friendly, and the staff were more than happy to help.
