Clean and nice deco room, lovely water view, spacious bathroom, however, the facilities such as gym and cleanliness in public areas can be improved. As to location, if you drive, that’s no a problem at all, would love to recommend this resort.
This is the accommodation that I’ll recommend to those who are looking for a nice place to stay when visiting Rotorua. The kitchen is well-equipped & spacious. The rooms are clean & flawless.
I recently stayed at Arawa Park Hotel and had a pleasant experience overall. The location is excellent—close to Rotorua’s main attractions and surrounded by beautiful scenery.
The room was spacious, clean, and featured large, comfortable beds. Considering the affordable price, it’s excellent value for money and ideal for anyone looking for a comfortable, budget-friendly stay.
The staff were attentive and friendly, even offering to heat up meals for guests—a thoughtful touch that added convenience. I also appreciated their focus on security, as they took note of my car’s plate number during check-in.
I noticed that the hotel has washing machines and laundry facilities, which could be very useful for longer stays. While I didn’t ask if these are free for guests to use, it’s great to see such amenities available. Clearer information about their usage would be helpful.
One downside was the lack of adaptors in the room, which made charging devices a little inconvenient. Adding adaptors or universal outlets would greatly improve the overall experience for guests.
Overall, Arawa Park Hotel is an excellent choice for a comfortable and affordable stay in Rotorua. With minor tweaks like providing adaptors and clearer communication about amenities, it could be even better.
We had a generally pleasant experience in Rydges Rotorua. though there were a few drawbacks. The hotel rooms are showing signs of age, and overall cleanliness in our bedroom was just average. A particular letdown was the rusty kettle provided in the room. On the positive side, the hotel offers a good range of amenities, including a heated swimming pool, spa and a children's playroom which are great for families. The buffet breakfast had a good variety of options and was a nice way to start the day. While it's not perfect, this hotel is a fair choice for families looking for a comfortable stay with decent facilities.
The price was really good and the location was great, literally right across the road from the Skyline Luge. Potentially more rooms than available parking, but no complaints otherwise.
Conveniently located. Just a 5-10mins walk from the isite bus stop. Many restaurants nearby. Room is located on the ground floor. Room is slightly small and is quite packed with 4pax in the room. But the bathroom is huge.
Hotel is located at city centre and we found the room to be comfortable and with good basic amenities. No room slipper, shaver like most hotels in Asia, we were provided with shower gel, shampoo, shower cap, vanity kit. Hotel also has gym, pool and hot tub. Overall a pleasant stay with comfortable bed.
The hotel was located right next to the Polynesian Spa and a long walking/biking path around the geothermal area. It's also near restaurants and a grocery store for lots of food options. The room was clean and comfortable, but due to our location on the first floor near the parking lot and major walkway, we heard everyone coming and going. If you're a light sleeper, request an upper floor room, and hopefully you won't hear people in the hallway/parking lot/walkway like we did. Also, I have to be honest, the sulphur smell was so strong at times I was gagging and it woke me up from a dead sleep. Knowing it will smell and experiencing it are two different things! Mostly for this reason, I wouldn't stay here again.
We recently stayed for two nights at Urban Lounge Rotorua, and it was a fantastic experience! The friendly staff welcomed us and made us feel at home. Although we didn't catch the name of the receptionist who assisted us during check-in, both she and Prasad were lovely.
The facilities were excellent. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made it easy for us to prepare our own meals. We also enjoyed the co-lab space, where my wife and I were able to get some work done.
Overall, we felt we received great value for our money during our stay.
Very Good

JJung GyumThe price was really good and the location was great, literally right across the road from the Skyline Luge. Potentially more rooms than available parking, but no complaints otherwise.
QQyimThe front desk staff is very friendly. The hotel is close to the food court, and there are large supermarkets and household goods stores nearby, which is very convenient. The room is spacious.
The shower head in the bathroom has strong water flow and the service is generally satisfactory.
The downside is that the room has no air conditioning, only a fan, and the wall lights did not work properly.
GGuest UserThey have great customer service. Are very polite and easy to talk to. The only two sad things was that I asked for our room to be cleaned while I took the kids out in the morning around 8. But when I arrived back in the afternoon around 4pm, it was not yet cleaned. Also the shower head was very hard to use. Maybe it has some plugging issues. The water comes out outwards, not focused in the middle.

CCielo AzulThe room is large and the facilities are quite complete
The gym facilities are average
The parking lot has narrow corridors, which is not convenient for large vehicles
The hotel is in a good location near Jinjijin supermarket and restaurant

SSyhui HoStrategically located at the city center, this place offers great convenience to a lot of restaurants nearby. The infamous Polynesian spa is within walking distance (about 5 minutes walk) and other attractions such as government gardens, sulphur point, lake Rotorua etc. are within walking distance. We got a double room for more privacy, basic amenities are available but I do not think there is a hairdryer (I brought mine anyway) so prepare one if you were to stay here.
