Great facilities, but initially difficult to navigate around buildings and rooms - more signage would be helpful to find rooms.

I stayed just one night. There were 3 people in my room and 8 people is available in my room. There were 4 bunk beds and i stayed the below one. It was so low ceiling so i hit my head so many times 🤣 The bed was not dirty but not clean. The kitchen was small but i think it was enough. So i am almost satisfied with the hotel. I stayed Haka house Rotorua before, so I expected that Haka house in Taupo also be same quality. But in Rotorua was better hahah please check my review of Haka house Rotorua🙂
