We’ve previously stayed at the Grandeur Thermal Spa Resort in a Chalet room and it was great! This time we booked a studio room and it was disappointing to what we had stayed in previously. It had everything you need in a studio room. But it was “run down” or “tired” compared to previously. The bathroom in particular was in need of some TLC. Overall it was a place to sleep, and it worked for what we needed for one night.
Excellent value for money. Lovely large 2 bedroom chalet with new looking bathroom and kitchen. The spa bath in its own rear room was lovely and relaxing. Peaceful surrounds but the walls are thin between units. Very accommodating staff who let us check in early. Would definitely stay again.

Friendly staff and clean rooms. Peaceful surroundings and a great location. We had all we needed for an overnight stay.
We had to check in very late and they had everything ready for me, including the heat pump working before we arrived.
The cottage (especially the beds) was really comfortable and fully equipped.
Plenty of place to park in front of your room or cottage.
Lovely quiet place to stay. Unit clean and tidy, nice bathroom, towels nice and soft.
Carpet a bit worn but clean.
A privilege to be able stay there with my dog.
Excellent price.
Will stay again.
Thank you.
Unfortunately there was mold around the windows and frames and my friend has breathing problems when mold is present so she struggled with her breathing through the night. Quiet place to stay.

Very close - next door to one of the most beautiful parks in Taupo. Spa Park is home to several disc golf tournaments. Hole 6 is right beside the entrance to Grandeur. Very handy.
Good linen, parking fine , comfortable heating, excellent bathroom and first class comfortable beds.

The Hotel itself is dated and run down (old heritage quirky). But it suited us as they allow dogs. The inside of our unit was ok and the bed was comfortable and clean. The surrounding grounds are great. A short walk to hot water swimming in the Waikato River. The room rate was very reasonable.

Liked: Staff & service
We had the basics that we needed for a quick overnight stay. Some improvements needed on these: water from the shower doesn’t drain fully because of the floor angle, bedside tables was very dusty.
Didn’t pay much so I guess can’t really expect a lot either. Good place to for an unprolonged stay.

It met our needs for our stay in Taupo. Unfortunately the motel is a bit tired and has lost facilities, like the restaurant. It was easy to use the path to the river and into town

All was great, staff were lovely, only thing that was a put off was the smell in the room, its like solfer or mould smell, but we just opened all the doors and windows while we were there.

The laundry service and the cleaniness were excellent. We received an email after the booking to say pool was closed this was disappointing. The place is a little rundown.
They were very helpful about booking in late.
Due to English being my second language and the front counter peoples second language this was a little challenging.
