Top Racing Rotorua Hotel Reviews

Prince's Gate Hotel

8/10 Good

"My room was on ground level and accessed from outside the building. It felt very safe. The room was beautiful and bed very comfortable. There was a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The bathroom was modern and spotless. Great location as you can walk everywhere. I went to Fat Cat café for breakfast which is a great spot."

Millennium Hotel Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Handy location, walking distance from Polynesian Spa, town centre and gardens. Staff were friendly and helpful, spacious well-appointed reception area ideal for meeting up with friends."

Rydges Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Nice"

Kings On Peace

10/10 Excellent

"The one bedroom with kitchen and sitting area was exactly as shown/described. Large kitchen / living room with full kitchen that had quality appliances. The washing machine with 2 detergent packets were useful. There was even a dryer to hang your clothes on. Room was efficiently serviced daily. Short walk to stores and cafe. There is a Māori thermal village that is 5 minutes away. We did not use the hot tub, but that was bubbling away. Recommended place to stay as we were very comfortable there."

Alpin Motel & Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for families! We are super impressed staying at this little apartment. It was perfect for our families needs, very clean and tidy, the host was lovely and welcoming. It was spacious and had a great layout and it was so warm when we checked in, with extra heaters/cooling fans. The main living had a king single and a double pull out sofa bed. It has a well equipped kitchen. Then off the kitchen through the door is a mini hallway with closet space, iron and hair dryer + the bathroom. The bathroom had a heated toilet seat, shower with body wash, shampoo, conditioner, very hot water and great water pressure. Back into the closet area through another door is a queen bedroom and the spa area. I love that you have two doors to close off from the kitchen living area for those watching TV. It also has a communal laundry area on site. The spa was great way to rest after walking and taking in the sites. We normally stay at the Pullman or Millennium, but needed a different amenities and the apartment was more suitable with the kids to come and go. It was also very quiet considering it was fully occupied, we didn’t hear any of the guests."

Marsden Stay Rotorua

8/10 Good

"The rooms were very basic, for the price you can’t complain, A coat hanger would be good just too hang your coats up etc. The room coffee and tea making gear but no milk or fridge so black it is… The staff/reception lady was very helpful. We mixed up our arrival day and she managed to book us into another room for the night with no extra charge.. we booked through Expedia.. Would I stay again….. probably. The place was very close to the redwoods treetop walk which was handy and also close to some restaurants etc."

Arawa Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All great"

Ashleigh Court Motel
