What guests think
Across the reviews for Silver Fern Rotorua Suites & Spa, guests frequently praise the friendly, helpful staff, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and the in‑room spa baths, as well as convenient parking and a location handy for exploring Rotorua by car.
However, many note dated decor and recurring maintenance or cleanliness issues, such as mildew, peeling paint, damp curtains, and worn furnishings. Some experienced traffic or plumbing noise, occasional sulphur smells from nearby geothermal areas, and a few reported spotty Wi‑Fi or limited front desk hours. Overall, expect comfortable, spacious suites with warm service over modern polish.

The staff here is excellent, helpful and friendly. The room was large and the kitchenette had what we needed. We also had a private hot tub on our patio, enclosed and private. After a long day of hiking, the hot tub was a real treat! We appreciated the laundry facilities as well (free wash, $3 dry). They are located mainly in an area with other hotels, there aren’t restaurants close by. They do have a Spa on site also, but we did not use the services but prices seemed reasonable, we just didn’t have time. We would stay here again for sure.

The facility advertises private pools for suites. This is misleading, there are jetted tubs in the suites, there aren’t any pools in this facility

We loved the Spa pool. The guy showed us to the room and I should of got him to turn the TV on the channels. This happens in every motel we go to - or is it just us that not use to complicated technology....lol. We couldn't get the TV to work, but that was "okay" as we were tired and slept. I did ring 0 but was out of hours and left a message—never mind. All in all, we loved the room - spa room could do with abit of a wash down though.

We loved our stay in the family suite. It was a good size for our family of 4, with a bedroom where we could pop the kids to bed and we slept on the larger bed in the lounge. Had a good kitchenette, a large bathroom and a private jetted spa bath outside. Located on Fenton street is a great location as its oretty close to town but far enough away that it isnt noisy. We would definitely stay here again.

Another great stay. Meticulously clean unit. Only complaint - cleaning had gone overboard with the bleach and the whole unit was overpowered with the smell. Burning my nostrils and eyes. Had to leave doors open to clear the air for several hours.

We enjoyed our stay. It was a good sized room with comfortable bed and bedding. The room offered a small kitchenette with basic equipment for small meals. The furniture was a little tired. The bathroom was large with plenty of hot water and good towels. Our bathroom had noticeable hair on the floor when we arrived. The spa was large and inviting.

Booked the "private pool" room, which isn't really a pool. Listing also says a patio area is included, this is not true at least not for this room. Bathroom in dire need of updating- quite a bit of rust and mould throughout and ceiling paint peeling off in the room as well.

Really sad. Has been a great motel but now past its use by date. Unit had a fan in the bedroom that obviously had not been maintained & the blades were knocking against the connections & the couch well past use by date. We raised these with reception straight after check in & they were really nice offered to change units BUT one unit had a fridge with visible rust & the other one really bad shower bath unit so elected to stay where we were. Bad choice we had not checked the bathroom - shower had black mould in it & ceiling was on its way down - not connected at the edges with black mould growing. Obviously been like that for a long time. All the bathroom units looked like they were the originals & showing their age. Went to bed & the sheets were a size too small & would not tuck in. Reception staff nice & said they would get their team to look at things but very obviously if they do they elect to do nothing about the issues but still want to charge top $. Our advice check out the unit before you stay. We saw 3 units all below par. Make you wonder if the reviews are the real deal.

I struggle to understand how there are any positive reviews for this place. The room that I was placed in had a smelly, likely moldy carpet, uncleaned curtains and bed covering, peeling paint on the ceiling above the bed, and rusted fixtures. When I brought up safety concerns about mold and peeling paint, I was told that the smell was from outside (but I could clearly smell the difference between the sulfuric air and the seemingly moldy carpet) and that the peeling paint would be cleaned if it fell on me (meaning after my health was even more compromised). The bedsheets and towels had yellow stains that the management claimed were not stains as we were both staring right at them. When I asked to leave and be refunded the rest of my stay, I was "upgraded" to a room with all the same issues except that the ceiling was stained instead of plagued by peeling paint. The staff left a window open in the bathroom and I came back to hundreds of bugs, meaning that the bathroom remained unavailable for use. This place is decrepit and dirty and run by staff that will gaslight you when you bring up concerns. I cannot recommend less that anyone stay here.

I chose this property for the spa bath situated in the bedroom. I liked the idea of this quirky feature and we certainly made the most of it, having a soak every day of our stay, which was very relaxing. The bath was lovely and big, though it was a little worn and the jets weren't very powerful. My main disappointment with this property was the thin walls. We unfortunately had particulary noisy neighbours and the sound travelled straight through. Overall our stay was pretty comfortable, we enjoyed the spa bath and the owner was very friendly.

Located conveniently. It took about 30 minutes to check in because the room was not ready even after 2:30 pm. Even though they knew I was wrongly charged more than should be (about $20) they would not correct it or wave it for the cost ($20) of a baby cot, which I had to pay it there as an extra. The 2 bedroom was way smaller than on their ads., dark, smelly, and dated. Definitely an over-priced accommodation and not going back.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The staff was incredibly accommodating of us and our needs, especially Antony, who helped us coordinate our late check-in and ensured us a large parking spot for our 12-seater van. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and helpful, and made our trip smooth, comfortable, and personal. The rooms themselves were spacious and comfortable, and we appreciated the private spas in each room. This was a great stay!

A nice motel close to downtown. It was about a 20 minute walk to the downtown area. It did smell pretty strongly of sulfur, but that's just because it's close to the hot pools. The indoor hot tub was fun.

Hotel was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. Facilities seemed a little tired and ready for renovation. Short drive but long walk (1.5 miles) into town for restaurants ( breakfast, dinner, etc). Hotel is located close to volcanic springs so location is particularly smelly (sulphur fumes etc). Could be viewed as adding to charm/adventure or being a detraction, depending on personal taste.

Very happy with this little hotel. Very lovely lady checked us in and gave us some good tourist suggestions. Room was nice and big. Beds comfortable. Location was a little away from the centre - so you have to drive in. Hotel was quiet. No complaints at all. Parking was easy and outside our room (although I think the upper rooms are better, as the ground floor rooms could have car headlights shining through their windows at night. Overall a great nights stay!

We loved our stay in the family suite. It was a good size for our family of 4, with a bedroom where we could pop the kids to bed and we slept on the larger bed in the lounge. Had a good kitchenette, a large bathroom and a private jetted spa bath outside. Located on Fenton street is a great location as its oretty close to town but far enough away that it isnt noisy. We would definitely stay here again.

It was a very nice stay, the ladies at the front desk are amazing. This is one of the 3-4 hotels in Rotorua which offer 11 am check out (all others are 10 am). The location is good if you have a car, you need to walk at least 20 minutes to the next dining locarion.

The staff here is excellent, helpful and friendly. The room was large and the kitchenette had what we needed. We also had a private hot tub on our patio, enclosed and private. After a long day of hiking, the hot tub was a real treat! We appreciated the laundry facilities as well (free wash, $3 dry). They are located mainly in an area with other hotels, there aren’t restaurants close by. They do have a Spa on site also, but we did not use the services but prices seemed reasonable, we just didn’t have time. We would stay here again for sure.

Though it was harder for our family to bring up our luggages in the 2nd floor. We loved our balcony and our rooms were beside each other. That’s a plus! Loved Rotorua and we wished we stayed longer than 3 days. Staff was very helpful & friendly and spa jet tub in both rooms were a welcome extra for our relaxation. The amenities that came with it was an added bonus 👍 Loved the sights & activities nearby too & the restaurants were a good number to choose from! Fantastic Indian & Asian restaurant nearby 👍

Lovely spacious suite extra bonus having a spa pool. Staff are exceptionally welcoming and can’t do or help enough. 30 minutes walk into city centre where u will find lots of shops bars and restaurants. Also nice walk to lake front. Highly recommend visit to Eat Street for evening food. Would definitely be coming back here when next on vacation.

The hotel was nice, a bit dated in the bathroom and could use a new couch in our unit. Overall was good, beds were very comfortable, kitchen was small, but had what we needed to eat breakfast in suite.

Expedia says 5 stars. Trip Advisor says 3 stars. I would call it 2 stars. "Executive 1 Bedroom". " Garden and BBQ". "Deli". There is no Garden and no BBQ and no deli (it's a fridge in the lobby with sandwiches). TV - the size of PC monitor. Hot tub is the base of the shower, try getting in if you're arthritic. Want a hot tub later, after a shower? Good luck - you'll have to clean it first. Shower leaks everywhere. Coffee capsules tasteless. Sofa is a worn-out sofa bed - no support. Bathroom has rotting wood, matter in ceiling fan not cleaned for a long time.. Microwave has rust inside, Facial tissues - a stingy plastic pack of what - 8 tissues. For Expedia to call it 5 star Executive level is so wrong. How could Expedia get it so wrong? Did the property send wrong information? I've lost faith in Expedia. Hesitant to use Expedia again based on this. I have pics but alas Expedia reviews don't allow uploads.

There is no specific smoking area. Our room was at the end of the second floor. Smokers goes and smokes beside our window. We had a new board baby and we can smell the smoke and people as early as 6 am.

A good spacious room which was fine for an overnight stay. Unfortunately we couldn’t have showers in the morning as the shower had lots of mold and smelled very musty.

Comfortable room, easy to heat in winter, enjoyed private spa tub that you filled fresh yourself. Kettle, coffee capsule machine and toaster was sufficient for our needs over a weekend. Glad to have a EV charger available
