Skotel is conveniently located and our second stay for the ski fields.
Check-in is unmanned before 3pm with earlier arrivals invited to wait in the bar, which is also unmanned at that time.
Dinner seems to be limited to 2 hours between 6-8pm but the food is quite good when available.
The hotel was noisy with the late hour conversation from a neighbouring room resonating through the walls. Guests children seemed to use the corridors as a playground, running, yelling and screaming into the evening.
Seems a very casual hotel with very casual standards
I stayed in the backpackers side in my own room with a very comfortable bed, heaters & washbasin. Communal facilities were kept clean & tidy, staff were kind and fellow travellers friendly. The bar and restaurant are welcoming places to relax. Staying at the Skotel is a home away from home 😊
Unbelievable views, sunsets, sunrises. While the interior is (like most ski resorts) somewhat worn in appearance, everything was comfortable. And by far, one of the highlights of this resort is the playroom loft, where our 7 year old played happily for hours!
I cannot say enough good about this place! Wonderful service, comfortable room with private bath/shower, great breakfast buffet (extra), bar, & restaurant (reserve your dining time early). Plenty of free parking. Our room looked out directly at the volcano with a sliding door walk out patio.
Also, great location. We had planned to leave a vehicle at each end of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing but they counseled us that there is a 4 hr time limit after which you are likely to get towed, so we bought a round trip shuttle. Good to have the heads up!
Loved the location for walking, it was central. Did not like the noise from the restaurant, we were right beside it and it was not ideal.
Kitchen facilities were also appreciated and staff were helpful.

Die Lage war top. Gleich am Hotel ein Trail.
Es war für eine Nacht und eine Person absolut ok. Aber für zwei Personen wäre das Zimmer zu klein.
Das Hotel braucht eine Renovierung.
