This is an older property with not very personable staff, but our room was fine, with a nice view of the thermal springs out our window and right beside the Whakarewarewa Living Maori Village, which we enjoyed touring. The breakfast was exceptional.

A nice but run-down hotel. We booked two adjacent rooms, in one of them the aircon did not work, in the other the kettle didn’t work. Nice warmed up pool and kids play room.

Close to red woods and cultural experience. Pool and spa was good. For the price I did think the room was a bit ordinary, shower over bath and old and outdated. Wall appears to be coming away at the base of the window sill.

Rydges in Rotorua was a great choice for us. It was convenient, safe, and clean. Rydges Rotorua is close to Te Puia, and our room had a view of the geothermal valley. The staff was friendly. However, some staff members were not knowledgeable about the area or activities that Rotorua had to offer. They said to check the pamphlets against the wall and call the places directly. We were used to having a concierge at other places we stayed at (Hilton properties). We were still able to enjoy ourselves at Skyline Rotorua Adventures but were not able to get to the other places that we wanted because everything seemed to close early. We missed the mud bath (you need old swimsuits/clothes that you don't mind throwing away) at Hells Gate, the night geyser tour, and the river rafting. That just means that we will have to return and spend more time there.
