Top Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve Hotel Reviews

JetPark Hotel Rotorua

8/10 Good

"For the price it was great value. A bit dated but they are currently doing upgrades, it would have been nice to have USB &/or USBC ports for recharging devices. The staff did supply us with a converter at no charge. The staff were impeccable, very friendly, very helpful."

Millennium Hotel Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here for a girls weekend from AKL. We received a room upgrade (Thank you 🙏) staff at reception were lovely and attentive, room was great good view of lake and Polynesian Spa too (which we also took advantage of). We used the pool facility often which was so handy! Room service was good too, to have this option and the Pinacolada at the Bar was delish! Renovated rooms are fab!"

Alpin Motel & Conference Centre

8/10 Good

"The Alpin staff were so friendly and efficient, check in was super simple and allocated parks outside each apartment were great. Overall it was as advertised, but I found a few short hairs stuck to the wall and some rubbish under the bed, and there was a funky smell in the lounge that wasn't sulphur -- I suspect the freezer as it was quite unclean. The lighting is super cold and clinical. The room got nice and warm with a strong radiator which was a plus in the winter and the bed was super big and cozy. The toilet was automatic and fancy but the shower head didn't attach well and kept falling off which was annoying. The tub outside looked super lush in the pics but you had to fill it up yourself which was a bit of a let down. Overall a fine stay."

Ashleigh Court Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was immaculate, clean and comfortable for the two of us. Great bathroom very big and spacious. I had to work for a bit, the desk was spacious and the wifi had good coverage. We did not have a spa pool. Staff very friendly and I used the service sign to have our room serviced; came back and the room was spotless, thank you. Will definitely stay again and the rate was very good. Close to supermarket, town and restaurants so good location."
