Top Rototai Hotel Reviews

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

Novotel Rotorua Lakeside

8/10 Good
"Brilliant staff which makes it feel like that higher 4 star vibe. The hotel itself needs a revamp in the rooms (bathrooms especially) as it’s pretty pricey for what it is. But I do admit the location is worth it and the staff were all exceptional with their service. Everything was easy, they were accomodating and polite and happy to assist as best they could. I was particularly impressed with the young male on reception 14/11 in the afternoon. I really should have got his name. He was a great example of excellent reception staff. Not only with me but I heard his interactions with others too."
