This is a grand historic hotel. We stayed in a huge suite that exceeded or expectations. Right outside our suite were three hot pools of varying temperature that were rarely used by anyone else. Very reasonable price for the room and facilities.
United States of AmericaAll rooms were surprisingly spacious. Bed was okay. Location was outstanding.
United States of AmericaLocation was good. Breakfast was off site, but good.
United States of AmericaGreat location, very cute architecture and beautiful lobby. Staff was super friendly.
United States of AmericaWe stayed at the Princes Gate Hotel for our Honeymoon as it was super cute in the photos and it did not disappoint! There is an amazing geothermal heated pool with three levels which is wonderful to laze around in. The bar had a good selection of drinks and the restaurant looked very popular, although we only ate there once for a delicious breakfast. Our room was spacious and thoughtful. The hotel is undergoing a renovation project as there are some parts of the room which were dated and worn, but this did not affect the enjoyment of the room in any way. The location is SUPER - there is free parking in the street around the corner, and it is walking distance to central Rotorua, and right next to the gardens.

New ZealandThe hotel has a Jacuzzi mineral bath and pool. It is next to the Government Garden and the beach. The room and bathroom is spacious and comfy. The breakfast has hot meals, cereals and fruits. The laundry room is in the back.
United States of AmericaVery spacious and nice suite with pretty comfortable bed and outlets everywhere, and the outdoor geothermal pool and the sauna were really really nice, which we took advantage of more than once. The location was absolutely fantastic. It's a pretty easy walk to nice food, and 10 minutes drive to places like Te Puia or the redwood forests.
