Hotels With Wifi in Bay of Plenty, New Zealand

We had a generally pleasant experience in Rydges Rotorua. though there were a few drawbacks. The hotel rooms are showing signs of age, and overall cleanliness in our bedroom was just average. A particular letdown was the rusty kettle provided in the room. On the positive side, the hotel offers a good range of amenities, including a heated swimming pool, spa and a children's playroom which are great for families. The buffet breakfast had a good variety of options and was a nice way to start the day. While it's not perfect, this hotel is a fair choice for families looking for a comfortable stay with decent facilities.

We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at this hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and well-appointed with everything we needed for a short stay. One thing that would have made the stay even better is if the room had included a washing machine. While laundry facilities were available on-site, having a washing machine in the room would have been much more convenient, especially for longer stays or for those traveling light. Overall, a great place to stay — clean, comfortable, and in a good location. With in-room laundry, it would be close to perfect.

Great stay here! Room was newly renovated, great location as it was close to everything we wanted to do while in Rotorua. Definitely recommend!

They have great customer service. Are very polite and easy to talk to. The only two sad things was that I asked for our room to be cleaned while I took the kids out in the morning around 8. But when I arrived back in the afternoon around 4pm, it was not yet cleaned. Also the shower head was very hard to use. Maybe it has some plugging issues. The water comes out outwards, not focused in the middle.

ibis Rotorua is located near a public geothermal park, you can visit there to take a look at the bubbling pool and smell the steaming sulphur filled in the air.

The hotel was located right next to the Polynesian Spa and a long walking/biking path around the geothermal area. It's also near restaurants and a grocery store for lots of food options. The room was clean and comfortable, but due to our location on the first floor near the parking lot and major walkway, we heard everyone coming and going. If you're a light sleeper, request an upper floor room, and hopefully you won't hear people in the hallway/parking lot/walkway like we did. Also, I have to be honest, the sulphur smell was so strong at times I was gagging and it woke me up from a dead sleep. Knowing it will smell and experiencing it are two different things! Mostly for this reason, I wouldn't stay here again.

The location is very central and convenient. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The room has a comfortable bed and luxuriously roomy bathroom. We charged our electric car overnight in the hotel’s car park. Our family of three had a comfortable stay throughout. We would definitely book this place again.

Not great considering the cost to stay. We had to wait 10 minutes for someone to turn up at the reception, and then we had to ask twice for assistance to check in.  Little to no hot water (tepid would be accurate) meant we had to walk out of the complex (with towels and toiletries) and down the main street and back into another room at the other end of the complex to take showers - both nights! Not at all pleasant as it was quite cold and very inconvenient.  And the spa didn’t work and was out of operation. Probably due to no hot water.  No lift meant lugging suitcases up a lot of stairs and no one to help.  Certainly wasn’t a great place to stay. Think we could have stayed somewhere better at half the price and less trouble.

Overall, I was very satisfied. The accommodation was incredibly warm; in fact, on winter nights, it was almost too hot to sleep comfortably. It was well-equipped with kitchenware and bathroom essentials, perfect for preparing light meals. The only slight inconvenience was parking; there's a steep driveway, but it wasn't a significant problem. Its location on the main road made it very convenient for getting around. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. The owner is Chinese and was incredibly friendly and communicative.

After watching the location of the farm, it is very easy to find. There is a children's paradise and alpaca lamb. The only bug is the laundry room. It can be used between 9-18:00, but I arrived almost six o'clock, and I had to check out at ten o'clock the next day. There was no time to wash clothes. I'm going to the next hotel to see if I can wash my clothes.
