Quest Rotorua Central

10/10 Excellent

"Room was super spacious with everything you needed. Friendly and helpful staff. Good location, easy walk to Eat St, the mall, Kuirau Par etc. Room was clean, the only thing was the hair in the fridge. I would go back to Quest again for sure. "

Rydges Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, it's right next to the living Maori village. We were lucky to have a 5th floor room facing the village so we saw a great Lazer show 1 night. We would definitely stay again. The pool and hot tubs were nice the pool is really warm which we liked. The room itself is really nice but the balcony couldn't be used because of something with a code violation, but they gave us 2 dinner vouchers because of it and overall liked the buffet. "
