Great old hotel, very well kept. Of street parking for motorcycle.
AustraliaLovely staff and comfortable bed and room with a balcony. Enjoyed the hot pools inside and out. Appreciated a free upgrade to our room. Location handy to the shops, park, and a short walk to the lake. Wifi worked well.
New ZealandGreat location, close to all amenities and sights. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the heated pools, private spa and the buffet breakfast on special at 20 dollars per person. Ate in the Restaurant one night, lovely food and not too expensive. Easy to eat elsewhere, which we did as well with very good value.
New ZealandImmaculate hotel, beautifully furnished and excellent location. Excellent restaurant. Very fast reliable internet.
New ZealandThe hot pools on site and the restaurant was amazing
New ZealandGood location near Government Gardens. My room was spacious and comfortable. Didn't have breakfast but dinner was fine with a good choice of menu. Staff were all excellent and very helpful. Will go back if I'm in Rotorua again.
United KingdomWhat a beautiful walk back in time at this graceful hotel from another era. Fantastic staff who were very helpful. When I asked for a room with a view, we were given a room upgrade for a small additional price which included drinks on the house. We loved our soak at the hotel hot pools after our meal out. Although level 2 had just come into force, and the buffet was not permitted, we were served a lovely breakfast off the à la carte menu.
New ZealandAmazing location and the room size was huge. Only a few minutes walk to Eat Street which was why we chose this hotel. We had our mountain bikes as well and the room was big enough to keep them in the room with us. Staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Very quiet considering the age of the hotel and a massive bathroom with a great shower.
New ZealandLocation was near town and a few steps away from the government gardens. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, helpful and serves with a smile.
New ZealandIt is a very lovely hotel in a great location. The premium two bedroom suites is clean, tidy & very comfortable. The little kitchenette is definitely a bonus. Love the classic paintings & mirrors throughout the suites and the wallpapers design match the suite. Would definitely come back again.
