My husband left his charger in the room. I tried to inform the hotel and told them if they can set it aside when we come back from our trip outside rotorua. And they found it and got it after few days.

The 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.

Robert United States of America

Very 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.

Alison United Kingdom

Beautiful continental breakfast. Had some hash brown, scrambled eggs, cereals, bread, baked bean and some yogurt fruits. Second morning had some creamy mushroom and bread. Absolutely helpful and friendly staff. We had to catch a flight on 7am, because our room rate included breakfast, the staff kindly helped us pack some fresh vegetarian sandwiches and fruit bowl. The thermal pool was hot and nice, suitable for a winter travel. And the location is right in the city center, 3 mins walk to the bus stop. Definitely would come back.
