    The hotel has no parking unless you pay $49 for valet parking, where they park your car either onsite or offsite (luckily there was space in the on-site car park for us which is very small maybe 20 spaces?) The toilet and shower areas are made with like a fogged glass which is kinda see through & don’t have locks, just something to consider!

    Really friendly staff and the room itself was nice and modern with a comfy bed

    We had the air conditioning running all night, and woke up to the ugly smell that permeates the air outside filling the room. Quite off putting. The smell wasn’t present when we checked in but was there by the morning

    It is clean, modern and the breakfast was delicious

    I greatly dislike the trend of opaque glass toilet cubicles in hotel rooms. Unfortunately, depending on your choice of room, one will be imposed on you. Both a glass door that never actually closes (nor reaches the ceiling) and semi-transparent glass walls allowing your partner / travel companion great insights into your intimate toiletry procedures has always struck me as pointless, irritating and just a silly design fad. Also, due to the L-shape of the room the aircon was ineffective at cooling the sleeping area - another example of design over function.

    Clean, modern and classy hotel with friendly staff. Like anywhere, the level of room you select determines your experience.

    the room layout / floor plan / design was not five star, i didn't like how the bathroom was basically part of the room... i feel like bathrooms should be seperate for hygiene reasons etc.

    very quick and super easy check-in process, nice friendly and helpful staff, were able to help me straight away and get me to my room without any issues

    One of the lift and room access cards didn't work, even after a different member of staff tried on four separate occasions over three days. Luckily we had a spare one that worked!

    We liked the location because it was within walking distance to lots of restaurants and cafes. The cleanliness of the room was always at very high standard. The bed was very comfortable too.

    Overall good stay but cleaners didn't clean toilet/bathroom and forgot to restock items. Parking in the hotel is expensive. Strong smell of sulfur inside the room in the early mornings (but maybe that's normal for Rotorua :)

    Nice modern hotel in a good location near eateries. Modern spacious room with comfortable beds, pillows and big shower. Friendly, lovely kiwi staff at reception and restaurant. Check in was fast and easy. We would stay here again.

    My room was cleaned even though I had the “do not disturb” sign on the door, which made me uncomfortable. Also, the room telephone did not work throughout my stay, and when I told the front desk, no action was taken.

    The hotel was beautifully situated in the town center and within a short walking distance to Lake Rotorua. I had a magnificent view of the lake from my wall-to-wall picture window. The bathroom in the room was upscale. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    5-star hotels are supposed to have pool/spa. The bathroom is a fogged glass with open top to the room, so there isn't much privacy / smell isolation if you are staying with someone else.

    Clean, nice, comfortable.
