Very helpful staff
There were items missing from the room, but the staff did their best to rectify this
Friendly staff
The photos didn’t look like the pool and place looked much older and run down
Location was a bliss
Just the stairs lol
Location and breakfast
Room was extremely small and cramped. Reception staff was unresponsive
Accessibility
Not enough parking.
Super obsługa
Piekielne zimno w pokoju
Good location
Rooms were too small
The location, the restaurant upstairs had an amazing view of the lake.
Didn’t have a view of the lake from the view, also the door got locked at 8pm. This made us have to leave through the back which seemed a little inconvenient as it was much further for us
Clean the pool
Central enough to Taupo town centre. Temperature of the room was good. Clean-ish, but very tired fixtures.
Spa pool was full of fern leaves, could be avoided with a proper cover on it. TV did not work in the room, so we got moved to a room where it did work. Second room had a broken light above one of the beds. Shower was broken and would only point at the wall. Pillows were lumpy and beds were not great. The entire place is in need of some TLC & maintenance to spruce it up. 1 teaspoon in a room for 4.
Stayed in the lakefront view apartment downstairs and it was 10/10
Right across from lake. Receptionist lovely.
The restaraunt staff weren’t that friendly and welcoming.
Was great having a restaurant on-site, the room was what we needed and was warm, clean and tidy. The staff were all super friendly with fabulous service.
The bed was alittle hard and uncomfortable.
Location was great. The bar upstairs was handy
Might be time for the beds to be upgraded
Location
Noise
Pool and view of cafe
Spa was disgusting , there was a rugby team there partying all night and out of control, and another guests was verbally abusing them all at 2.30am because he had to get up for work , but no one in the hotel could sleep , so many rude , drunk inconsiderate people staying there. And no staff done anything.
Location was perfect for the event we were participating in.
Clean and friendly if dated Staff lovely
The tiniest room ever,quite funny
Very tiny room,almost clostrophoric. Meal was good, and the service at the restaurant was great.
Small room, no space, smelled of varnish, no view.
Central
Small room
Room was nice location great
We rectified the situation opening doors and window but the heat in the room was like a punch in the face! We thought a heater was on haha!! Lovely room comfy bed.
Loved the location and how quiet our stay was.
Location was great and the restaraunt was very good - service was fantastic.
Rooms are pretty small!!
Right on the lakefront, comfortable and staff were very helpful.
Thank you to the staff member who upgraded us as we were on our honeymoon definitely a 10/10.
Well first of all the room has no air conditioning and this is the middle of winter,bed was very uncomfortable pillows were uncomfortable too flat n cheap I presume with the amount of money we paid I was annoyed ,also the late house keeping was very strange 6.pm she also had 2 black eyes which was very worrying I hope shes alright ...
Busy at night with people using shared bathroom
Friendly staff and the location were great.
Great location and amazing staff
Convenient location and love the onsite bar and restaurant.
Room was a bit small for 4.
Good location with Lake views
Bathroom was very small with a tiny hand basin and no room to put anything. We used the kitchen sink most of the time.
Good location and friendly staff 😊.
Very quiet
Great location for what we needed, room was sufficient for our needs and clean. Staff were very pleasant.
Very much in need of some updates, old and dated. Bathroom has no storage not even a shelf to put toiletries on and we had no hot water on our last morning 😐
Wonderful mountain view
Location
Evening staff the way she talk not friendly
The restaurant is wonderful
Close to where are we when to go!
Noise, easy can hear what next door chat about .
Location
The room and the building are old, needs renovating. The bathroom smells.
The room was very small and cramped. Barely enough room for 1 adult to move around. Small corner wall shelf to make tea and coffee. No fridge.
Location and warm room
Advertising misleading had to pay extra for room I thought I booked
Location. Receptionist was just lovely and very helpful. She was cheerful and accommodating. Very close to everything. Great having tea, coffee etc.
To be fair I booked a bunkroom and it was cheap. Just really stuffy, noisy being on bottom floor near reception. Squeaky bunk beds. Bathroom fan incredibly noisy and roller door needs repair. Kept jamming closed coming off runners. Going forward I'll pay a bit extra and check reviews next time.
Beautiful views of Lake Taupo from dining area
Stayed for one night so it met our requirements
Didn't do breakfast. But had dinner in restaurant and it was great
Nothing
The restaurant up stairs is a bonus
The room was very tiny and cramed
The room was comfortable with everything I needed. Bath and shower was cool. Spa was a bonus extra, however it did need a clean
Proximity
Nothing

Location is good
Rooms are quiet old, our room doesnt have heater. they dont have heat pumps in any room. very poor room , outdated
Price, good parking, clean room. Easy to book
It is a bit tired and could do with a spice up
Great location, heated floors and very warm room. Clean and tidy. Great value for money.
The bed was hard and uncomfortable, guests walking upstairs above us woke us up several times each night, and the spa was almost cold the first day, the second day it was semi warm but not hot like a normal spa temp.
For the price this stay was really lovely. Lots of cute features, clean and great location.
Parking was a little tight but it was a busy weekend.
Affordable price Nice view outside Good for family trip
Shower
Close to town
We were given a room on the first floor. Room above us noisy.
Well organised motel, clean and everything you need!
