Easy to locate and reasonably handy to center of town. Details to get in were acurate and easy to follow. Unit was clean and great for our purposes. Can recommend.
It could do with a second dinner plate and a couple of desert spoons. hi
Clean tidy easy to book and check in and out
Nothing
Very quiet, great location
Wasn’t that it was an issue but the set up of the room was a bit odd
Excellent place for a short stopover. Clean and comfortable. Easy walk into main part of town to get food etc. Off-street parking very handy.
Nice and clean and close to town
Na
A great place for two people to stay who just want to have a bit of fun and Taupo for a couple of nights
It was small but it worked for us
Easiest check-in. Clear instruction on how to check-in. Most importantly, they're accommodating pets and very understanding. This is my 2nd time staying at Central Inn Taupo, and will come back in the future!

Nice location and pet friendly
There were ants but we know that cant be controlled, but I wanted to add a wee tip is ants dont like Vicks vaporrub so a tiny bit placed by where they would enter helps deter them.
3rd visit, clean, comfy, warm. Good location and affordable

Tight car park

Easy comms with the off site staff

Nice and close to town, excellent lawn area for a dog, room was nice and cozy
Room was abit small, tv remote needed new batteries but had the basics
Central and pet friendly
The double bed was very small, the room was too small for 3 people, beds were not comfortable as other reviews suggested, the sliding bathroom door had large gaps so there was zero privacy. The shower was great but the extractor fan dripped water on us when coming out of the shower. Didn’t help that a neighbouring couple came into our room thinking it was theirs last night!!
Loved that it was located right in town. Also very easy to access and great parking.
No kitchen sink
This was an amazing find. Needed to stop between Auckland and Wellington for a night. Clean, tidy, affordable perfect for sleep n run, or to stay longer. Good find. Really comfy beds, good shower, kitchenette. Good location.
The only thing was the extractor fan would drip on me, but absolutely not a deal breaker. Paid $126 a night for 2 of us and a small doggy. So affordable, clean n comfy!!!
Great communication from the hosts. Great service, such as washing of dishes. The unit contained everything I needed and was clean and tidy.
The bed wasn't the most comfortable but I slept well.
location great
Adequate
Thermostat on heater seemed faulty.
The room was comfy and clean, and it was lovely and quiet. Quite basic but met our needs. Nice and close to town (could walk) and would definitely stay here again when we travel to Taupo.
Nothing we were very happy with our stay.
Always enjoy staying here with my dog.
Great location easy walk to town
Car parking is very tight no good innings larger car
LOCATION WAS OK
LACK OF COFFEE TEA MILK. VERY UNHYGENEC HAVING TO LEAVE CUPS DISHES ETC OUTSIDE
Good location. Quite.
Not serviced daily and wasn't aware till after booked. Meant to be serviced mid stay but dont think this happened as rubbish not removed. Would of been nice if outside bins provided to put excess rubbish into, rather than leave in room or take to work to dispose of.
Great location close to town and a very short walk to the V8 Supercar bus departure point.
Location is perfect, close to town but still quiet and peaceful Room was spotless Bed was insanely comfort!
Nothing! Everything was perfect
I loved the bed it was soo comfy!!!
There was no sink to do the dishes, it felt a bit un co.
That is in central plus dogs are allowed
The other guest that keep on using ournparking spot and one time open our door
Location from where I needed to be for my meeting
Slightly hot needs fan
The unit was clean and tidy and close enough to walk to the shopping area, lake and restaurants. It was dog friendly which was the main reason we chose to stay there. Bed was very comfortable.
Thought it was a bit expensive for what we got. There was a large crack in the basin and also a hole in the door to the bedroom. No soap in the dispenser in the shower. As the owners are not on site, we did not think the soap would be replaced, however someone came to clean the unit next door and was able to refill the dispenser. Also no Sky TV!
location excellent, no staff, let yourself in via key/lock
Quiet area but walking distance to main township.
Couldnt fill our 1 ltr water bottles had to use tap outside.
Was ok..Quiet..
Hard to find.. At back of private residence..No signage Non the main road..Key box was a bit difficult to undo..No host on site..
Being able to take my dogs with me lake is just down the road as well as the town they thoroughly enjoyed there stay as much as I did absolutely loved the walks and swim in the lake 😀
I liked it my dogs loved it there are no complaints
lovely room, very modern, the host was super friendly to deal with.
you could see through the toilet door, the room was hot and the fan didn't cool it down enough.
No face cloth, cold shower, no info binder.
This is quite central so good location.
This is a converted house. Room 3 was very small and there was no sink in the room only very small hand-basin in the toilet. no heating or cooling would be hot/cold at sometimes of the year
Good location. Pet friendly
A bit small
It’s a convenient location, and the price is quite reasonable for pet-friendly accommodation.
No cabinet or storage area
Good and clean. We could take our dog and we didnt have to go upstairs. As there arent any, to carry our luggage. Nice the dog could have a grass area to be walked on. Good there was a porch and there were tables and chairs outside and a bench either stools inside.
The fridge door rubbing on the carpet and there was only a fan for cooling the room which in the heat in summer makes it a bit uncomfortable and we slept with windows open.
I loved it...parking right next to the room. Bed was comfy. Already had a shower before coming there so didn't use the shower. Facilities were sufficiently good.
A lot of noise coming from next door unit moving things around or in and out of their van...not sure what it was, but was quite loud...during the evening after they returned from being away, but gradually quieted down. Then again in the morning....otherwise I did enjoy my stay...gave me a chance to organize boxes of my stuff before moving them into storage which was satisfying for me.
Easy walk to town and lake
Quite small and lacking a kitchen sink
Quite and comfortable
Not enough milk
Great location only short walk to town. Lockbox entry with text message communication.
water for kitchenette/handbasin in bedroom
Inly about 7mins walk from the centre It had a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster
It was very hot and the fan had no power…. Couldn’t go to sleep with the windows open. But not a biggie
Central and close to shops. Clean with a separate bedroom. Helpful staff. It’s a self check in.
Only one sink located in the bedroom, used for bathroom hygiene and for any other needs including filling coffee jug coffee or to clean utensils. No sick in bathroom or kitchen area. The property offers to clean your dishes by placing them in a bin and leaving it outside for them to pick up. We only stayed one night but it would have been terribly inconvenient to have dishes washed elsewhere. We were still packing up and about to check out, when a man came by to ask if he could pick up the used towels, which I thought was a bit rude.
Close to town, average price, staff contactBle
Very small room was okay for a short stay, mattress very soft and lumpy in sections
Solid sized room and comfy bed and easy walk into town
Not just this location but all acoms in Taupo close their receptions at 8
地理位置很好,就在湖边,入住也很方便。

Suited our purpose
Could have been aired out , was musty smelling but once aired out it was lovely
Good location. Had all the essentials. Clean. Cleaners were friendly. Shower had great pressure. Easy check in.
Not enough bedding (got cold and extra rug in wardrobe was dusty). Shower vent dripped on me when I showered and I couldn’t get away. Some furniture a bit worn. Weird location behind a house, no view.
I loved that we could take our dog 10/10 and she could sleep in the room. Shower pressure was amazing.
It took us 10mins to open the lockbox for the key. It was a small room for a family but suffice for the night or travelling solo or a couple if staying longer. Bed to short for my 6ft3 son.
Good quiet location for town (even with road works!)
Electrical points tricky, power tripped even with just kettle and toaster going.
Good location, comfortable stay.
Delay in instructions to access unit. Lack of sensor...or any lighting outside of unit. Lack of privacy in bathroom with no blind or curtain for window. Free wifi?...yes, for one whole hour then unfortunately no wifi until morning. No idea what issue was as we never touched the plugs clearly marked as do not touch!. Maybe batteries in tv remote need replacing as took them out, changed them around a few times for 10 minutes before we could get the TV to work. All in all, quite disappointed with the standard vs the $$ charged and would not recommend to friends or family. You win some, you lose some. This one I take as a loss. Adam tried to be helpful re instructions on accessing the unit, but it sort of went downhill from there. On this occasion a brickbat, not a bouquet. Thank you, Wayne Millican.
Location
Tiny but adequate, could have been a little cleaner
Easy check in
Nothing to complaint. All is good.
Location was good, just a flat short walk into town. Room was small but clean and tidy. Only negative was the cost. I felt $200 for the night was expensive for what I got.
Good proximity
Somewhat cramped. No shampoo. No a/c
A small suite in a prime location close to shops, restaurants, cafés and the lake of course. Perfect for a family of three and their pet. The property is located at the end of a longish driveway, which makes it safer for the dogs keeping them away from the road. Also, there's a small lawn for them as well. Myself, my wife, our 11 year old son and our 1 year old spoodle have thoroughly enjoyed our four day stay there and wish we could stay longer. We'll definitely consider it as our accommodation next time we plan to come to Taupo :)
Location
Smallish
Very comfortable
Couldn’t get the spa bath to work
Cosy room. Great that our dog was accommodated.
Parking for a Ute was a tight squeeze.
It was a good location and close to where I was going.
All good
Great location nice property
Bed soft
Quiet, excellent bed. No need to find staff to sign you in our give you a key. Lock box by door and a concise email was better..
