Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was lovely and big. Comfy beds, hot shower, heaps of towels, coffee pod machine. Pool was great, spa was lovely. Laundry handy. Good little gift shop. Didn’t eat at Rydges as too expensive - $65pp. Hard to find somewhere reasonable to eat in Rotorua, everything overpriced and very touristy.

The hotel was fine and staff very welcoming. Unfortunately our room was very dirty. Toilet not cleaned, floors and surfaces still very dirty and rubbish on the floor. The housekeeper who came to fix was lovely though. On closer look after she left, it was obvious some things hadn’t been cleaned for quite a while.

Massive hotel. Staff excellent. Tidy n clean . I was most surprised it did not have wider range of cable/ sky like CNN, fox, BBC news for such a major quality brand hotel. At check out they were insisting my accom had not been paid which created some anxiety ( happens a lot when I book via wotif) Eventually they discovered it had been paid.

A fun getaway for a family with children. The playroom and the heated pool during winter kept the children and adults happy and occupied. Other activities were offered by the hotel like bikes for bike riding. Rooms were good. The bathroom had a bit of wear and tear. Shower is also a bath, so it was a bit tricky to step in for the children. There were non slip mats for the shower provided to reduce slips in the bath tub. Laundry facility was good but busy in the evenings. Will definitely return back when we’re back in Aotearoa.

FREE PARKING IS GREAT but have to come here to check-in or return before sunset or you’ll never find a good spot food options are pretty great heated pool and tubs are great but wish they ran to midnight at least considering hotels are social places, the pool/tubs close too early at 9:30pm :( we found that out too late on the second night so we were sad, had to try in the morning instead. rooms look dated and the bathroom was yellowing, the carpet looked really gross so we wore the slippers the whole time however the beds were very very immaculate and clean, and soft. i am glad for that. some of the beds in new Auckland hotels are awful compared to the ones here at Rydges Rotorua.
