Great stay for Tarawera Ultra. Lovely old building. Staff were helpful and friendly. Was a bit worried about the parking but paying for parking right out in front from Friday check in till Sunday checkout was only $11 and covered in one transaction on the parking meter.

This character hotel, mostly in the Victorian style, was a good value and centrally located. Rooms could use a refresh. This hotel is very central to the downtown area and just a short walk from lots restaurants, bars and shops. They don’t have much onsite parking, but there is plenty of free parking on one of the streets next to the hotel.

Claiming that this property is 4 or 4.5 stars is an absolute joke. The room that I stayed in was extremely dated (not in a charming way). The bathroom is so old, no amount of cleaning can make it look clean so it looks like a dump. Very misleading star rating and as such, very overpriced. This should be a 2 star hotel room tops. I will say that the staff at the front desk were very nice, check in was easy and the location is great. That unfortunately doesn’t make up for the absolutely awful rooms. Hands down, worst rooms I have stayed in during my 4 week stay in New Zealand.

Enjoyed our stay in Rotorua. Very nice staff who genuinely like to help in any way. Enjoyed hot tub and sauna but would have liked regular pool since weather was hot when we were there. Several restaurants and shopping nearby. Had nice walk to nearby park with historical buildings gardens and geothermal pools. Building is quite old but very elegant with common areas for conversion and drinks with friends. No elevator in hotel but staff will help you if you if you have heavy luggage and room is on second floor. Good value for the money. Highly recommend.

The room needs very significant maintenance: furniture was old and partially broken, carpet old, torn, and worn. Also the bathroom requires some maintenance. The entrance and the exterior of the property is nice but the room is the opposite.
