Clean and welcoming— if spare

The staff was wonderful. The room was clean and spacious and just fine for the one night we needed it. I struggle with this review, because I do I have other points a preference in Roturua. The building is older and quite basic and the rooms are very spare. The spa is a bit of a cage/cell. Stairs are carved wood difficult to navigate in bifocals. To my spoiled American self, the issue may be that this doesn’t seem a 3.5 star hotel—it felt more 2.5. But, again, clean and comfortable and welcoming.

Besides the unique Rotorua aroma, we were very happy with how spacious our room was for the four of us. This meant we weren’t tripping o we each other when relaxing before bed or getting flames to go out. Kitchen amenities were perfect for our needs and the staff were helpful and friendly when we a so Jed for more milk. An enjoyable experience and value for money in our view. Thank you 😊

Shower barely had water pressure and could not get any cold water - had to hold washcloth to soak up volcanically hot water and let it cool. Might as well have used the sink! It’s also challenging to park here even with a small car. Limited and awkward spaces.
