Hotel Holdens Bay di Rotorua

Lodge was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Lovely lake views and walls on the beach. Spa pool was amazing on a sunny afternoon. Hotel is quite a way from town ( much too far to walk) but access to town was easy and parking in town is not a problem.

Peaceful and picturesque location by the lake with well sized rooms and comfortable mattresses. Free laundry facilities, parking and good quality shower gel/shampoo. Room cleanliness could be better. Fridge door had old food stains on it, ironing board cover was stained and our floor didn’t seem to be vacuumed during our stay. It’s not close to restaurants/cafes, apart from McDonalds, which is problematic as the hotel restaurant is shut Monday and Tuesday- the days we happened to be staying. So no dinner or breakfast options available on those days. Staff are friendly and helpful. We had a ground floor room, but I suggest asking for a top floor which has a balcony and better lake views.

Hotel ini mempunyai lokasi yang bagus, terutamanya jika anda tidak memandu sendiri. Lantai bawah adalah jalan untuk makan, dan sebaliknya adalah Danau Rotorua. Beberapa tarikan yang mesti dikunjungi semuanya boleh diakses terus dengan bas awam. Terminal bas berjarak 5 minit berjalan kaki dari hotel. Tidak ada bas selepas jam 7 malam, jadi tidak bising. Terdapat banyak kolam gelembung di hotel, dan ada juga suhu air yang lebih rendah untuk kanak-kanak bermain. Pada hari hari lahir kanak-kanak itu, hotel memberikan hadiah kek, terima kasih banyak. Hotel ini secara amnya merupakan hotel lama bertaraf tinggi di China, dan perkakasannya tidak dapat dibandingkan dengan yang baru diubah suai. Ia mungkin masih kekal di peringkat domestik empat atau lima bintang pada 1990-an. Perkhidmatan kakitangan tidak buruk, tetapi tidak ada yang menjawab telefon, seperti perkhidmatan bilik sedikit kemudian, ia dianggap sebagai sebahagian dari budaya New Zealand, bukan masalah yang eksklusif untuk setiap hotel. Sarapan pagi sangat menjimatkan. Lebih sesuai jika anda terlalu malas, kerana anak-anak tidak memerlukan wang, misalnya, penatua saya berumur 11 tahun dan percuma. Walaupun sarapan sangat biasa-biasa saja, nisbah harga / prestasi tidak buruk untuk keluarga, bagaimanapun, tidak perlu makan di luar.

Nice hotel good location easy to get to main land city too but also close to all the major activities and beaches Room clean and spacious comfortable bed good view of ocean Rooftop pool and bar with view over ocean and beaches Staff friendly but a little bit more knowledge would have helped! Asked if we could hire a couple of cycles but said they don’t have any asked if they knew where we could hire them and they didn’t know but as soon as we walked down to the main road we found some self renting cycles… also asked where you can smoke and was directed to go through other hotel and out where the 7/11 24/7 shop was and there’s smoking area in courtyard but when we went back to our hotel we found a smoking area on the rooftop not sure why they didn’t tell us this… Entrance to hotel a little hard to find as you access it via underground car park or via the other hotel Would stay here again though..

A very delightful place to stay in the center of Rotorua City/Town. Very happy that Starbucks was a breath away. The room was very clean with all the needed amenities and the heating system worked perfectly for the cold winter days. Although there isn't a lounge, I found the single chair near the entrance was enough as I wanted for my shuttles to various tours.

I stayed in the Sudima Lake Rotorua Hotel for three nights while attending a conference. The Sudima was selected as it was the cheapest of the four listed by the conference organisers. The accommodation and buffet breakfasts were standard and wouldn’t in themselves warrant a review, either positive or negative. What did warrant a review, however, was the check-in experience. This is the reason for the level-two rating. Having stayed at a range of accommodation – from higher end to backpacker - I cannot recall anything like it, either here in New Zealand or overseas. There was one person at the reception desk and only one other guest checking-in before me. That check-in took a seemingly interminable time, but that can happen for whatever reason. My check-in appeared normal, but thereafter the experience ‘went to custard’. Assigned a room on the third floor I duly went with my bag to the room. Arriving there the magnetic door card wouldn’t open the door. I then returned to the reception desk, explained the situation and was provided with a new set of door cards. I then proceeded back to the third floor and, yes, the door cards this time successfully opened the door. However, upon entering the room I was surprised to find evidence that someone else was using the room. Material around the room showed that this person was also a conference attendee. (Interestingly there was a half drunk bottle of whisky on a table, but alas it was a blend and not a single malt so there was no temptation to take a few swigs.) Using the room’s telephone, I called the reception number but there was no response. Anxious that the room’s inhabitant may return I returned once more to the reception desk to be provided with a new room and corresponding door cards. Another ascent to the third floor finally eventuated with valid room occupancy at the Sudima Lake Rotorua Hotel. The time lapse since first entering the hotel stretched to about 40 minutes.

First stay was 3 years ago when it was still a Holiday Inn. We enjoyed the pools and nearby attractions. Came back this time around for the same reasons. Kids enjoyed the heated pool. And we adults find it soothing after a long day out. When pool towels run out, reception was glad to replenish. We were at a deluxe queen queen room facing the carpark. Room looked tired. Bathroom was even worse. Mould on the grouting and sink had lime scale. Turning the tap was bound to give you a splash. Other than than, room was clean and tidy. Staff were friendly. And doing the best they can on a busy long weekend. Carpark can get full on a busy weekend, you almost dont want to go out for dinner.

We rented a 2 bedroom cabin, which I would describe as ”Rustic”. It's high-end camping. The living room had a huge glass door that slid across and out of the way, so the whole inside was exposed to the outside; quite lovely. The kitchen was large, but not stocked for anyone who wanted to use the oven (had to ask for oven-proof ware). The first night nothing worked so we called and they replaced the microwave and showed us where the circuit breaker was for the stove top (in a cupboard beside the stove). This had to activated before and after using the stove-top! Beds were comfortable; unit was clean; only 2 hangers in the closet. If you're used to camping, this is luxury. P.S. Internet not free and was very iffy.

A lovely new modern hotel in the heart of the Rotorua CBD. Staff are super friendly, rooms are nice with great views! The only downside would be the lack of free parking and valet is rather overpriced at $45 per day.

I 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.
