Quest Rotorua Central

10/10 Excellent

"Great service"

Millennium Hotel Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Booked a lake-view room for two nights. The rooms are recently upgraded and very nicely fitted out. If you book a lake view room, request the higher floors. The restaurant meal we had was very nice. We had room service the second night for a small service fee. Only complaint is the doors slam shut which booms up and down the corridor and is quite intrusive. Either a better slow-close or some cushioning on the actual door frame would make it quieter. Car parking is always at a premium but certain street parking is free."

Aura Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Aura Accommodation. Even though we arrived late in the evening, the warm welcome and friendly hospitality made us feel comfortable right away. One of the highlights was our beautiful room with a lovely view of Lake Rotorua. Waking up to the peaceful lake scenery each morning made our stay even more memorable. We also appreciated that our room was serviced while we were out enjoying an early morning activity. It was so nice to return to a clean and tidy room after a busy day. The excellent service, comfortable accommodation, and great location made our family trip truly enjoyable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend Aura Accommodation to anyone visiting Rotorua."
