We stayed overnight at Lakeside Rotorua and we really enjoyed it and wished we stayed longer. The people handling the check-in counter especially Roshan was polite and welcoming. The girl who handled our check out was also very nice. The girl named Maggie at the restaurant was not very welcoming. She doesn’t seem very happy to be there and was quite impolite. She was accompanied by an older caucasian guy who also seemed to be dragging his heels and answering our question about the voucher drinks indifferently. Good thing a friendly guy came by (I totally forgot his name argh! Enrique? Or a Spanish sounding name with dark longish hair ) who saved the day by genuinely smiling and telling us that we can park our luggage trolley in the bar area while we wait for check-in. He is very nice! We love our clean room (yes, I checked under the bed!) and clean bathroom/toilet. I was actually on guard about this because Novotel Wellington had a handful of trash under the bed and even had an empty can of drink behind the curtain. I’m glad I had a positively different experience at Novotel Rotorua. We enjoyed the hot pools and the breakfast buffet (16 and below eat free!). The hot pools alone will definitely make us come back and stay again! We love the location being it a few minute stroll from Eat Street. But next time, we’ll try the Novotel in-room dining or Novotel/Pullman restaurants for lunch/dinner and use our Accor card for dining discounts.

Check in and check out staff were great! Room we had was well located and well laid out for our family. Room itself was bit dated but was clean and tidy with comfortable bed for a good few nights rest. We were a bit disappointed as we wanted to enjoy the buffet dinner but when we went down to enquire/reserve a table for later that night we're told fully booked - would have been nice to at least be told/notified even in booking confirmation email that if choosing to dine in-house for an evening meal that it is best to book in advance. Breakfast was good - plenty of choice and refreshed regularly. Overall pleasant stay.

Good stay, nice room and staff were lovely. Carpark gets full fast at end of day and some parks are a bit small for today's vehicle size. Recommend getting back early to get a park.

Great location and comfy beds!

Customer review rating 4.0/5

Anonymous Families - 13/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The experience was generally quite positive. We loved our beds and the room was nice and quiet (lake side). Room was a bit dated, particularly the bathrooms, and one of our sheer curtains was missing so we couldn't have the sheers closed to have a bit of privacy but get the light in from outdoors. The timing of the mineral pools refills was a bit off and so, we only got to soak in them 2x during our 3 night stay. The hotel staff was super friendly and helpful.

Loved the view , Great location

Susan C. Families - 12/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Thoroughly appreciated the kindness of the gentleman that we meet on the front counter, wasn't happy with the first room, as paid a lot for the room online, he was more than happy to rectify that for me by putting me into a room that reflected the pricing I has paid. Made my day perfect after driving from New Plymouth. Lovely Indian gentleman. Couldn't get into the restraunt as it was long weekend and they were fully booked, but that wasn't a problem as I dined in the wonderful bar area and had the most devine cocktails made for me by the lovely lady working it, bar snacks, fantastic variety of scrummy dishes anyway in a relaxed atmosphere. Only complaint I would have was with the phone system in our room, could not connect to room service, so I would have to order through reception. Otherwise, loved out stay thanks to the gorgeous staff. Asian lady on room service our first night was a bit grumpy, not with me but the reception for getting the correct number of extra blankets wrong . When she brought the second blanket, she knocked, but I was upstairs, so she chucked the blanket in the room. Very entertaining. Maori lady that delivered our room service was an absolute sweetie pie! Wanted to tip her, but she took off too soon.

Excellent location and a great facility

aquarian1935 15/03/2021 TripAdvisor review

A six night staycation at Novotel Lakeside Rotorua was an escape from Wellington. Happy with Hotel amenities and food but disappointed that check-in staff did not notice our request for stand alone shower and we had to change the next day. Unusual that Dining at night is limited to $49 buffet dinner. Fortunately can have a selecion of a la carte dishes from the bar. Baby pork spareribs are fantastically good.

Thank you for your review, we really value your feedback. I am pleased to hear you were satisfied with your amenities and food. However, I would like to apologize for receptions lack of attention to detail. Please rest assured I have passed on this feedback top the team and we are working towards resolving these matters. Thank you again for choosing Novotel. We hope to welcome you back in the near future and further improve your next visit.
