Top Waiotapu Hotel Reviews

ibis Rotorua

ibis Rotorua

10/10 Excellent
"The Ibis hotel was clean and clearly one of the more popular hotel destination's in the small city of Rotorua. Despite some check in concerns, in regard to my foreign credit card, it was a fine hotel to stay in, it borders the geothermal park on the edge of the city. The amenities on site were plentiful. I would stay here again. "
