This hotel has a good environment and good hygiene. The boss is Chinese, so he takes every detail into consideration. The Bannick salmon in the morning was delicious. It's a 5-minute drive from the town center. You can call a taxi for SGD 20. The only problem is that the room rates are quite high compared to other hotels in town. You can consider it if you are not short of money, and the experience is good.

Hotel is located at city centre and we found the room to be comfortable and with good basic amenities. No room slipper, shaver like most hotels in Asia, we were provided with shower gel, shampoo, shower cap, vanity kit. Hotel also has gym, pool and hot tub. Overall a pleasant stay with comfortable bed.
We have a good 2 days stay at pullman rotorua. It has great location as it is quick to travel to nearby tourist attractions and good food places from the hotel. We enjoyed our stay on the hotel.
The owner and her cute cat (named Paola) welcomed us. The room was clean and cleaned every day. There were plenty of towels. The shower room was a little old, but the water pressure was strong. However, the hot water was surprised by how cold it was every time because it had to go through cold water first. It was fixed in the bathroom, but I was happy that there were tissues. The bar soap had the soothing scent of New Zealand's famous manuka honey. The kitchen was equipped with cutlery. There was a stove, but there was no ventilation fan, so if you want to grill meat, I recommend using the BBQ stove outside. Laundry was $2 for the dryer. If you are looking for a motel in Rotorua, I recommend this motel!
Stayed for 2 nights in a deluxe twin room. The room was quite big but a bit old, the price was on the high side, parking a lot, convenient for self-driving. The restaurant had mutton lamb, which was delicious and the price was moderate.
The so-called breakfast was too poor. It only consisted of two slices of bread, two cans of yogurt, a 200ml box of milk, and a few jams. They were placed in the room on the day of check-in. The key is that the yogurt and milk were not placed in the refrigerator. The so-called motel hot springs are just two tiled pools from the 1970s in China.
This lodge is run by Chinese people. It has just been opened for a few months. It is very new. The location is a bit remote, so choose carefully if you don’t have a car. There are more than a dozen rooms, but they all have everything you need, such as swimming pools, tennis courts, pool tables, rowing machines, bicycles, etc... The scenery is beautiful and you can see Lake Rotrua. p.s. There are a lot of hares around. If you are not careful, you will step on the rabbit hole... The breakfast is very good.
Generally speaking, although all the hotels booked during the self-driving trip around New Zealand may not be available in luxury hotels (after all, the population density is very low), basically all the hotel beds are very comfortable and clean, which is really important. During the day, we are basically outside either driving or hiking, so having a comfortable and clean bed when we rest really ensures our sleep quality. I was mentally prepared before arriving at the room every time, but in fact, every time it was a little bit beyond my expectations. Like the one I booked in Rotorua this time, the room was clean and tidy, the bedding and mattress were very comfortable, and there was an extra bed in the room. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen has an oven, the bathroom has a washing machine, and it's very close to the busiest streets. Because the itinerary is very tight, I arrive at the hotel very late every time and leave very early, so the above conditions are considered satisfactory for self-driving travel👍👍

IIreneI booked for 2 adults and 2 children and clearly had confirmation of 2 children and 2 adults. Called twice 2 days before our trip. The reception male did not know what I was talking about could not find booking then said it was only for 2 adults.He then said he will note down when I explained I booked for 4. Then called again couple of hours before checkin and went through the same thing waslooking forward to relax and they found it hard again to look for my booking and mentioned 2 adults and not including my 2 kids. The hotel was ok and tv channels not enough just 1 movie 1 sports channel. Menu was not really goo VERY EXPENSIVE but food was not okay. Asked for another jug of cold water as we were really thirsty but the lady said they can't provide a JUG of water so ended up organizing uber. Staff need to be abit more upto date with everything etc..
HHelloI love this hotel.
To be honest, I didn’t expect much when it comes to old and vintage hotel. But when I entered the hotel, I found the hotel is quite special and unique. Yes, it’s old and vintage but it is also well-maintained.
For the room, I like it because it has big windows including bathroom and the sunshine can get through.
For the location, I like it because it is so close to the central bus stop, Eatery Streets and Polynesian Spa. Because I don’t drive so location is very important to me.
Like many other places in NZ, this hotel seems to be short staffed too. But the staff still did the best to serve. They are nice and friendly.
I wish I could stay in the hotels for a few more couples and enjoyed the unique atmosphere there. I would stay again if ever I go to Rotorua.
NNur RuzannaVery clean, has everything you need. Wasn’t able to check in by 630pm, called them in advance to inform and arranged for a self check in. Emily was very kind, explained the steps over the phone, and texted again just as a reminder. Self check in was very easy and convenient. Instructions were attached with the key, documents were neatly placed in the room.
Only downside was it wasn’t very close to the supermarket/shops, probably about 15min walk, but it was raining so took us 20min. Driving would have been better.
Please note there’s no lift, so we had to carry our luggage to the 2nd floor.
Overall, would come back again, it was still a great stay!
AAnonymous UserTo be honest nothing bad about this hotel as others mentioned. The staff manager at the front desk is super nice and helped with all sorts of request. Room is in good but not luxury condition which is kind of expected. Pool is closed.
SSiew KhimThe room is clean and spacious. The breakfast quality can be improved. It’s clean but presentation can be better. The buffet spread can be more, food taste good.
Will recommend my friends.
GGuest Useribis Rotorua is located near a public geothermal park, you can visit there to take a look at the bubbling pool and smell the steaming sulphur filled in the air.
GGuest UserGreat location in the heart of Rotorua, right next door to the lake and Eat Street restaurants and came highly recommended to us, but left us a little disappointed - especially for the price.
Room a little outdated, holes in the blinds which let the light in, dirty grout in the shower and the shower head was broken and the glasses were dirty. I never ever leave a bad review, but after a great experience at 4 other different hotels across NZ this trip, the front desk lady on arrival at the Novotel was not the friendliest - it felt like we were an inconvenience to her. It was check in time and she was the only staff member on with a queue of people.
On a positive note, the bed was comfortable.
GGuest UserWe recently stayed for two nights at Urban Lounge Rotorua, and it was a fantastic experience! The friendly staff welcomed us and made us feel at home. Although we didn't catch the name of the receptionist who assisted us during check-in, both she and Prasad were lovely.
The facilities were excellent. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made it easy for us to prepare our own meals. We also enjoyed the co-lab space, where my wife and I were able to get some work done.
Overall, we felt we received great value for our money during our stay.
Rreturn visitorOutward appearance is good, but on closer Inspection it is shabby, once was high class accommodation but now cushions and curtains dirty. Unidentified scraps on bed linen and bathroom had very visible mould. The bath is a great size with headrest, heated floor and good water pressure. Our room had a great view of the lake, but people walking past windows, no real privacy. Good size room interesting room layout.
GGuest UserGreat time had there. Staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great.
Only thing I didn’t really appreciate was, we didn’t have a kitchen sink in our room which we were a bit confused about. Had to fill up the kettle from the bathroom sink. That’s ok, but if I had known previously from the booking, I would have asked for a room with a sink.
Otherwise very satisfactory😁
