Historical Charm: The hotel’s vintage, colonial, and European-style architecture was frequently mentioned as a highlight. Guests appreciated the unique atmosphere, classic décor, and historical significance, with some calling it 'a step back in history.'

Historic hotel located in central Rotorua, great location just minutes away from the visitor information center, restaurants and the lakefront. All the basic amenities were available including coffee pods, hot chocolate and also sustainable amenities such as compostable shower caps.

The hotel is beautiful, and comfortable. Staff are very attentive and helpful in every way, from front desk to cleaning the rooms to serving the meals. Sadly the hotels spas and sauna were not functional and the “free” service at the Polynesian was over crowded and full of kids. No towels were supplied and an extra charge is charge to get a towel. But the experience is not overly unpleasant. Location is great as it is close to all attractions and the lake.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I would suggest reviewing dinner menu. Whilst food was reasonable felt it was out of packets and heated. Dining area and bar were chilly even though heating was on.

Really nice hotel in great location. Staff very helpful and friendly and would stay here again. Pool not open during our stay but they gave us free option at Polynesian Spa so could not complain.

Excellent location, right in town, so handy to restaurants and shopping. Room could do with a freshen up but still beautiful inside. The room was advertised with the use of a spa pool, which was under maintenance. The hotel did provide free entry into a spa down the road, which was amazing. The room was also advertised with supplying robes, which our room did not have. The breakfast buffet had a lot of options and was well worth including in the stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at prince gate. Was pleasantly surprised there was a SPA, thermal pool and they gave a first floor room so it was easy for my elderly parents to enter the property.
