Top Waipahihi Hotel Reviews

Hilton Lake Taupo

8/10 Good

"for what you pay, if you are not part of a club, it is disappointing that you do not have free access to the WIFI, this is the first hotel i have come across in a while that is the case. Also the having to pay $3 for a bottle of water, (again if not a club member) is a bit rich. Otherwise, the rooms are quiet, well set up, a little tired around the edges now though. The Pool and Spa are really excellent, and the highlight of the nights stay. Parking is frustrating if there is an event on there, and you get stuck coming back late, you have to walk a very long way, like there is not specific close guest parking."
