Good Value Stay In Central Rotorua

This Novotel is well above the average standard I have found at other Novotels with good service and a large clean room. The inclusive breakfast was good value with a wide selection and large quantity of food available.

The hotel was very helpful with information on what to do in the local area and was able to arrange evening shows if required.

The hotel is located in the centre of the town with the local shops and restaurants a short walk away. Free car parking is offered in the large car park through out your stay.

The nicest hotel in Rotorua

Okay, Rotorua is a tourist place, but this hotel is really quite nice. It has got spacious rooms, nice view and it's centrally located. It's not 5*-Luxury, but for a few days stay it's definitely okay. I'd go there again.

Better than expected for a Novotel

In a great location, the hotel was large, spacious with good sized bedrooms. There are excellent leisure facilities including two spa's - one with thermal waters - a swimming pool and sauna plus gym - all under cover. Restaurant is a normal buffet offering good value. Overall, for the time of year, the room rate is not cheap though.

Better than expected

We didn't expect a Novotel Hotel to be as nice as this one - the inside was much nicer than the impression the outside gave. Great location, easy to get around. Very nice room plus the buffet breakfast had a nice selection.

Good Value for a Basic Hotel

We found our room to be rather spacious and very clean with a nice livingroom. What we enjoyed most was that our breakfast was included in the room rate and that its location was in the heart of the downtown area. We would return if we were looking for basic accommodations.

Clean and unexceptional

Stayed here in August, 2004. Found the rooms clean, fixtures in good condition, and cheap drinks at the bar (happy hour maybe?) The hotel has its own foul-smelling thermal baths (no worse than the rest of the region) and we did not try the restaurant. There seemed to be a lot of tour groups staying over. Overall, probably one of the better hotels in Rotorua.

Great location, food needs to be better

Spent 4 days in February, '04. Location is excellent. A short walk to everything. Maori Dinner and Concert next door is the best. Breakfast buffet is lacking and served maybe the worst coffee I have ever tasted.

Since so many restaurants are nearby, you have plenty of other options.

Reasonable hotel in a good location

A well located hotel that supplied the necessities. We enjoyed the buffets, the Hangi (Maori dinner), and the staff was quite efficient.

Excellent Hotel

This is a beautiful hotel. Walk out the hotel turn left and all the restaurants are right there. Turn right and Lake Rotorua is just right there. It is just 5 minutes walk to reach the town center. Hotel is really in an excellent location. This hotel is still quite new. I saw a painting on the hotel wall saying it was inaugurated in 1996. The room are large, clean and look quite new. Beds are comfortably firm. Toilet is clean and has lot of hot water. I highly recommend this fine luxurious hotel. Email me if you need more info about this hotel. Drexcor@thesquare.com
