    A great location and a lovely place to stay.

    Check in could have been a little easier. Check out was easy. A little maintenance in the bathroom is required. A small gripe really as we did enjoy our stay at the hotel.

    This is a great location when staying in Rotorua. Easy walk to the lake, information centre and to Eat Street. The breakfasts were good value and the Dinners really nice. The majority of staff were lovely and accommodating. The downside was that some maintenance is required in the rooms. The beds are comfortable. The gardens are lovely and the proximity to the Government Gardens and Buildings is a bonus - a walk across the road. Parking was ample on the side. The rooms have coffee and tea faciliies plus an ironing board and hairdryer. There is a nice area to swim , spa or sauna. The restuarant staff are really friendly and efficient and highly recommended.

    The fire alarm in the room went off, very loudly, around 5pm. Staff quickly acted to stop it beeping. Could have occurred due to smell of sulphur in Rotorua.

    Loved the history and beauty of the hotel, dating back to 1920. Huge room and very clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    One bedroom didn’t have air conditioning, which would have been more comfortable. Breakfast buffet could have offered an espresso coffee with it to make it better.

    Nice style of building, generous size of 2 bedroom apartment. Handy hot spring pools in the courtyard.

    The breakfast food not being hot

    The apartment was very well supplied with all the equipment we needed. We prefer the space of an apartment rather than a hotel room. We enjoyed the location to be able to walk to Eat Street and the like. Breakfast was a good range but it's a shame the food doesn't stay hot. We used a private hot pool & the main public pools which were very enjoyable

    No elevator, which for people with alot of luggage was tough - also breakfast (if you pay separately), is crazy expensive - if you stay, make sure it is a part of your package! But it isn't much special

    Lovely location and a real old word feel which isn't let down by poor quality. Friendly staff, and lovely room with comfortable large bed. Overlooking the street was still nice and quiet!

    The rooms were decorated in a classic style, which was lovely, but all the carpeting and heavy drapes made it a bit stuffy. The person manning the front desk when we went out for dinner was not helpful in finding us a taxi - we ordered one from another hotel nearby!

    I loved the old-fashioned look and accessing the room via the balcony. The lobby was also gorgeous and everything was comfortable. The location is great, right next to sulphur point and the Polynesian spa and not far from the restaurants. It was wonderful to have a nightcap in the sofas downstairs and the bar staff were super.
