Hilton Lake Taupo

8/10 Good
"The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was great. Unfortunately there seems to be difficulties in the restaurant with dinner service due to a lack of staff. The spa pool wasn't warm enough for us to use which we did relay to staff. Hopefully it's been rectified."

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed only one night but I really think this is a place you would want to spend a couple of days to get maximum benefit from everything on offer. Only issue was the soap dispenser in the shower ran out of soap while I was in the shower (last one of three to use it) other than that enjoyable stay."
