Interior - we love the heated bathroom floors. The sheets were clean and ample clean towels.
The room was lovely and quiet and everything was neat.
Exterior - we like the view and the quiet location away from the road. The carpark and grounds were well kept.
We are really pleased and will return with whole family.
The men's toilet next to the Bar downstairs was dirty.

Ubicación frente al lago. Muy tranquilo y agradable y bonitas vistas.
El desayuno estaba incluido en el precio aunque era muy normalito. Las vistas al lago desde el restaurante muy bonitas.
El complejo necesita una buena reforma y además no está adaptado para el frío. Supongo que será más agradable en verano.
No limpiaron la habitación ni el baño durante nuestra estancia.

Accomodation was reasonably comfortable and the bed was great.
I didn't like finding out on arrival that there was no microwave or cutlery in our one bedroom suite.

Location and room suited my needs
As I am on crutches I found the floors slippery but this would only affect me not able bodied people.
4.0
The room was spacious and the bed was comfy
We were not aware of the dinning room being closed and there was no information on how to order room service. We had neighbours arrive early evening and they were very noisy and inconsiderate of others.

Very nice fancy hotel. Had the morning breakfast buffet it was really good! Smashing full English! Missing a bit more choice on the continental which meant it was below average. Overall really nice stay.
The walls are fine and could hear our neighbors and people above us.
4.0
The location is amazing. Close to everything with an exceptional view.
Staff were unable to communicate effectively due to their limited understanding of English.

Beautiful spot on the lake with pretty lake views. Beautiful rooms.
A few small things needed maintenance (peeling paint, garden chair, small hole on bathroom wall from previous towel rail) but nothing major and nothing that bothered us.
4.0
The view of the lake.
The hotel badly needs to be renovated. There was paint coming off the walls in our room, stains on the quilt, and curtains not properly hung up. Staff were nice, but the service was very slow.

The staff were extremely helpful & friendly. Dinner in the restaurant was sensational!
Reception was unattended

The staff really friendly and really helpful.
One time back in 2018/19, me and my partner decided to spent our holiday in rotorua and choose VR for our hotel.
The staff, the facility are really nice.
Even when my car broke down, the staff is really helpfull, they offer us to just park the car at the hotel until someone can pick up the car because that time no one available for tow my car. And the one who available was way more then the time I booked to stay at this hotel and I need to fly back to wellington.
They are really nice.
That's why I always comes back to this hotel where ever I come to rotorua.

The view and access to the backyard were awesome. Kids loved playing with the big chess board.
When people walked in the room upstairs we could hear the sound. Not the quietest I would say.
4.0
Friendly check in, clean room. Huge bath tub, plenty of tea/coffee/creamer sachets etc. Location was good, away from hustle bustle but close enough to get to places. Stories on the walls about local legends. We should away longer next time, utilise all the facilities,sauna, pool etc.
It was great. We will stay longer next time.

Really nice, friendly staff.
Could hear all movement and sound from the room above. Was woken up by them at 5 am and they didn't leave until after 9. Not at all soundproof. The spa pool is not thermal.

Location and the bed was super comfy
A little bit dated and our outside door was open all night and we didn’t know as we didn’t go outside via garden

Hotel ist heruntergekommen, viele Stellen sind vergammelt und ungepflegt. Die Sauberkeit läßt zu wünschen übrig. Kein Tisch im Zimmer, damit man sich mal hinsetzen kann. Das Hotel ist schlecht geführt, Umbuchung wurde bestätigt, aber das Zimmer war bereits anderweitig vergeben, da wir ja nicht zu dem ursprünglichen Termin gekommen sind. Türen sind sehr laut und man wird morgens von ständig zugeschlagenen Zimmertüren geweckt, offensichtlich Gäste die früh abreisen.
4.0
The location and exterior building. Very picturesque
Upstairs balcony was very small. Couldn’t fit a chair out there to relax. Would definitely ask for ground floor next time. Shower was not very pleasant. Soap holder broken, nowhere to put own shampoo body wash face washers etc. water would run hot for approx 20 secs then run cold for 5-10 seconds for the entire duration of each shower

Was as advertised
My room was noisy - coming down from upstairs

Unfortunately it could have been brought up in to today’s high standard of spec. Found it to be lacking in sharpness with things like just your basic maintenance, maybe not having a folding shutter partition between your bedroom to your bathroom.
As above

We loved the view of the lake. There was an excellent cafe a few km from the hotel that was recommended by the staff. The heated bathroom floor would be a huge plus in the winter.
The rooms were superficially updated in the last remodel. The repairs were not done. Our sliding balcony door was corroded and hard to open/close. Our a/c would not operate on cool and made a lot of noise. The sliding screen between the trim and bath was broken.
4.0
Good views of lake from room.
Restaurant staff attentive and service great
Room tired with broken fittings.
Staff not helpful when checking in about facilities. Did not use any facilities we hoped to.
Restaurant food OK to bad and expensive - would not eat there again.
Noisy conference party screened off with only a curtain and made dining unpleasant. Restaurant staff were great though.
4.0
Great room with view of the lake in two directions. Wonderful breakfast on offer and great dinner available on site. Kayaks available for hire which we did so could see things from the lake and be closer to the wildlife. Great to have washer and drier available as well.
Kitchenette cupboard needed replacing, but did not matter for us as we ate at the restaurant or elsewhere.

A bit old and not so clear in details. Hotel could be update a bit and change the cold white to warm white light bulb , outdoor spa should have an access inside than outside, not heated pools and changing room with birds poos on the racks… lots of flies marks in rooms and corridor etc.
4.0
We have stayed here 2yrs before and absolutly loved it then. This time we found the rooms have definitely aged. The staff on check in and out are very friendly. And beds are comfortable.
Room in serious need of update and maintenence. Mouldy showers, handprints on bathroom walls, dirt/grease smudged over door trimmings and toilets which flush continuously.
Tea bags dumped on grass outside room.
It was a cheap room. But I'm afraid I'm not rushing back.
4.0
Aww, we loved how the bathroom floor was heated and warm. The spa pools were beautiful, and the outdoor area was just as amazing, especially with children who like to play with the chess board and challenge each other. The playground could have been closer, but that was fun, too. The view was absolutely beautiful, especially on a beautiful sunny day.
Well, the pool was freezing cold when it should have been a warmer pool, especially with kids who like to swim. Even though the spa was there, my kids would have loved it if it was warm, it doesnt help when the pool is cold, and you can get cold easily. It would have been nice if there were a lott more staff to supervise the activity family room, we would have enjoyed it more. 2 nights have been amazing.

The staff was nice. The cleaner was okay on saturday but the cleaner sunday morning was a very nice lady.
I didnt like having nobody at the desk when your needing some help
4.0
We liked our room, bed was comfortable, very good sleep, big bed for 2 adults and 1 child , room was warm especially with the heat pump, shower and bath was good, liked little balcony with the views of lake rotoiti,liked that we got fresh towels and rubbish emptied from bins and milk replaced in fridge, the next day, loved the toiletries in bathroom, if id know i wouldn't have bought my own lol,very peaceful 😀
We arrived didn't really get a proper friendly greeting, checked in, went to room, sink in bathroom needed a clean, could have done with a microwave in room, and maybe a dustpan to sweep up crumbs from what the child ate ,not enough cutlery, no knives or forks and I thought this place was kid friendly? we experienced a guest who opened the door of her room and telling my grandchild to be quiet as we were walking down the hallway omg! Not happy about that!
