Independent, 3 star Hotels in Rotorua

My cousin and I flicked through the endless accommodation options available in Rotorua. We were on a tight budget, but too old to be hitting the hostels. The Gwendoline was exactly what we needed and more!! Yes the décor is a little dated. But you get a two level apartment! A Jet hot tub!!! Clean facilities and helpful staff. The Gwendoline would be perfect for a family or group of people! Parents wouldn't need to worry about kids breaking things and they can send kids to bed upstairs and enjoy a quiet drink in the hot tub down stairs. If you are a group, you can have your own sleeping space and plenty room to socialise together. All for a really cheep price!!! Don't expect the Ritz, but perfect for those on a budget!!

The good thing is they have free wifi. The bad thing is it's pretty old and more like a motel. The room is quite small, with street side car park.

The owners were able to tell us what to see and do, we had accommodation in Auckland also and coming to rotorua was a breath of fresh air. I would come and stay again, it was within our budget and comfortable for our stay

Good , clean and friendly staff Best environment I will not hesitate to recommend this hotel to all

Lovely hosts very central place highly recommend to anyone. Wouldn't stay anywhere else

Great stay for a low price. The first night in room 12 was a bit hot as it faces the evening sun (and its been an acceptionaly hot year...) but sue was happy to move me to a room on the other side which was aircon'd. Overall excellent and friendly staff and a great little hotel. Very clean and well equipped rooms. Will book again

This is a great place, central, spacious, clean and excellent value. The self contained kitchen is a plus and the hot pool is great after a bit of cycling. The hotel is dated but this is part of its charm. The new manager was very friendly and helpful.
