Two nights and it couldn't have been a better stop over. The hotel is very well presented with lovely rooms, swimming pool (warm) and mineral pool (hot) which you can reserve for your own use. Minutes walk to lots of places to eat but we had breakfast in both mornings as so good. The staff could not be better. When we spoke to any staff or asked for help/advice they went out of their way to be helpful. Only downside is parking but is not a show stopper as lots of free parking on the top road, a minutes walk away, is available if needed. Check-in and out was quick and smooth.

A very lovely hotel with clean and comfortable rooms and a mini-split for easily controlled room temps. Very walkable to everything in town. On site amenities including the bar, restaurant, pool, etc. were a nice bonus. The Eat Streat area next door has everything you could want to drink or eat withing a few steps. One of our favorite hotels from our entire stay in New Zealand.

Wasnt impressed when entering the room, you could see rubbish and hair on the carpet. The room needs to be thoroughly vacuum. Could see bit of rubbish under the bed side table and chairs. There was a small window that was missing a curtain so couldn't leave the drapes opened or people could have a partial view of inside the room.

Very nice place to stay, the only let down for me was the bed very soft with a topper pad on top. Don’t mind soft but the rather nice sheets, very smooth but a certain level of stiffness just rumpled up so you are sleeping on ridges. Very handy to Eat Street if you are not impressed with the Hotel menu. Has a bar so you can arrive & relax but closes 9pm. Sort of place I might stay again as a bit unique.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom 2 bathroom Executive suite. That extra space and bathroom was fantastic for our family of 4. Hotel is very cute and well furnished. Rotorua is a small town so nothing is that far if you are driving. This location is right next to 'Eat Street' so great for fancy dinners. Note that things close pretty early on weekdays - so check closing times. We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel, but continental spread was offered. Looked like a sufficient breakfast - but nothing amazing.

Joli hôtel au cœur de Rotorua. Service agréable et courtois, de la réception au petit-déjeuner en passant par le service de chambre. Le petit-déjeuner est donné au restaurant de l'hôtel et comporte un buffet et des plats chauds à la carte. La chambre est grande avec un espace de vie, confortable et pratique. Rotorua est accessible facilement à pied, et il y a deux parkings gratuits pour stationner directement à l'hôtel.

It was a good overnight stay and the degustation dinner was lovely, although staff very much went on auto pilot in their description of course, no real passion or knowledge shown but no complains on food, great chef.. Not great to have such a small car park for so many rooms, not happy to park on the road even if it is free. The room seems really lovely at 1st but actually it was a little tired - cracked tile around basin in bathroom, chips on furniture. I would have expected it to be top notch condition. Shower - OK but again not great, everywhere got soaking wet. Bed was lovely and room spacious with good robe

Was expecting to love this place based on some of its previous reviews but just didn't. Room was hot and stuffy and you couldn't leave the windows open due to seasonal flies (this per hotel) and yet the ac was very poor. Restaurant was also a let down - with all their awards I was expecting something special but just wasn't.
