ibis Rotorua

4/10 Poor

"The experience is good but maintaince issue is a pain."

Millennium Hotel Rotorua

6/10 Okay

"Reception & Conceriege, Perfect! Although still very slow as not enough staff ratio to guests. Bar …. Was a joke. One girl on, she completely ignored us as was under pressure to serve, clean etc but her attitude sucked. Instead of just acknowledging us and saying hey sorry guys I’ll be right with you soon as I can… she simply pretended we were not there and chose to ignore, be very rude and after 4 attempts to try and relax at the bar I gave up! This alone has made me unwilling to bother staying at the millennium again. Very sad as it was always our favourite go too."

Sudima Lake Rotorua

8/10 Good

"Sudima - Rotorua was a nice stay. Staff were all lovely, check-in was easy, the staff in the breakfast room were friendly and helpful and the cleaning staff were super friendly. The amenities in the room could have been better but we only stayed one night so it was ok. Good value stay and very centrally located. "

Urban Lounge Sleepery, SureStay Collection by BW

8/10 Good

"Room well appointed and beds comfy. Room has thermal heater which heats the room so well and quickly. Balcony a bonus. Mess room had all you'd need. Kids loved pool. Need a hook on bathroom door for toilet bags as bench space is limited. No kitchen cloth or face cloths either. Central location can get very noisy. Walls & glazing are very thin - you can hear everything from outside, neighbours and those above. It seems some people live there: activity from top floor was constant at night until 1 or 2am. Not great for young children. A large, loose panel under the sink in the bathroom looked like a hazard for young children too. Digital check in and digital room key are awesome. When we checked in (early) we were offered to reserve parking for $10 - we booked it. On arrival, there were no carparks available. The property says "1st in 1st served". I took this to mean if you book and are charged for a carpark, you will have a carpark. Noting this isn't the case! I notified this through check in feedback to the property manager but wasn't offered a refund. The photos for this property show adults relaxing in a circular pool that appears to be a spa. This is misleading since there's a sign (not pictured) that says this is a children's pool and it's mildly heated but not warmer than the pool. Our room listing had both "outdoor pool" and "private pool" listed - no private pool. Also no minibar as listed. For the price point, it's ok. But advertising could be more accurate"
