Travelers Reviews of Waikato Hotels

Hilton Lake Taupo
4.3/5120 Reviews
Poor experience at this hotel. First room service argued they had cleaned the room when they had clearly not and it took photographic evidence for staff to believe us. Also discovered that their check in staff charged the full price room as a deposit ($304) but only mentioned charging $70 at check in; this is an issue as the room was prepaid. The room itself was comfortable and the pool and gym good. But poor and incompetent treatment by staff would put me off choosing to stay here again.
Novotel Tainui Hamilton
4.4/5133 Reviews
Welcome was good. The reception staff were friendly and accommodated our request for a river facing room. Overall the service was just okay for it's price. For its price, I feel that parking should be included. A limited parking that can be reserved at $36 was offered when I called in a day before as well as a free parking further down the hotel that is not guaranteed. We availed of the additional $36, this includes a valet service. The hotel room design was as expected of Novotel hotels, but it was not up to it's best standard. The remote control and kettle in our room was dusty. Amenities needed to be requested, I did this in advance during booking. But there were no slippers in the room upon arrival except for the 4 towels requested. Breakfast buffet was just the usual fare.
Twin Peaks Lakeside Inn
3.9/5105 Reviews
There are some car hotels, right next to Lake Taupo, the scenery does not say, the car stops at the door of the room, very convenient, very suitable for self-driving travel. The rooms are compact but well-equipped, cooking and bathing are not a problem. It is very close to the supermarket and the place to eat, and there are two or three intersections by car. The New Zealand big sister at the front desk was very enthusiastic and stayed with milk.
Heartland Ambassador Hotel Hamilton
3.9/5105 Reviews
Basically, this hotel (inn) has everything you want, but the quality is not high. The biggest advantage is that it is very convenient if you are traveling by car. The fact that you can park your car at the door is very good. Don’t count the other things. , which is also good. There is a large supermarket opposite which is convenient for shopping!
Hygate Motor Lodge
4.1/5107 Reviews
We went to the Hamilton Balloon Festival and booked a suite. It was clean overall, but the carpet felt a little old and not as new as it looked in the pictures. The front desk check-in service was clear and enthusiastic.
Millennium Hotel & Resort Manuels Taupo

The location is very good, the scenery is beautiful, and the service is very thoughtful. The room is a bit small and the facilities are a bit old. Hygiene: very clean, no toothbrush, bring your own Facilities: old, average Environment: very good, right by the lake, first-class Service: very good

Haka House Taupo
3.8/563 Reviews
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🙂
Abbots Hamilton Hotel and Conference Centre
3.9/556 Reviews
The boss is Chinese and very enthusiastic. Everything is good. However, the network is very poor. I hope there can be improvement.
