I took my daughter for her 13th birthday and her friend. We had late night spas and room service. It was a lovely experience

I was disappointed that my room did not match the pictures on your website from when I booked.

Expensive for what it is

Kane Couples - 22/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We were put in a run down disabled room, there was no bath as shown in photos. There was a hole in the ceiling where a downlight or fire sensor should have been, we could see into the dusty ceiling space from the bathroom because of this. The hotel information was very confusing. Couldn't find a book in the room, rang reception, they said its on the TV, took along time to get the TV working without information on how, finally found hotel channel with no guidance (it was just a photo of the hotel), we tried all the buttons etc to find the information but nothing happened, rang reception again, they sent someone up to show us how to find the information on the TV, the person who came up just told us the photo of the hotel is the hotel information and thats how it has been for years. The room wasn't very soundproof, neighbor woke us up talking ok the phone at 6am. The spa area was very nice although the sauna wasn't working (asked if we could have a free private spa for compensation of broken sauna but the answer was no). Bar and restaurant were also nice, breakfast was great and service was very friendly. Overall rooms very highly priced for what they are. Wouldn't recommend to friends.

The friendly ness of the staff was incredible.

Erich S. Q. Couples - 21/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We booked a Junior Suite 1 King Bed Lake View which was confirmed. On entering the Suite we found that we were allocated a rear Suite facing the back of the Hotel. On returning back to the foyer complaining we were then shifted in to the Royal Suite which has Lake View. This is now the second time this happened to us in one year at your hotel. We are in our eighties and go on holiday to relief our stress and not the opposite. The Royal Suite was OK but not ideal as to get to our bedroom had to go up two flights of steps. We are very disappointed as the same happened in May this year but to our luck the Suite across the passage was free and we had our lake view eventually allocated. We do like the Novatel Hotel but the stress is becoming too much with this type of incidents on arrival.

Brian M. Business - 20/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We held our annual conference at the venue and the service and attitude from the whole team was top notch. As the event organiser, I can say it was the best all-round service we have received with our event in New Zealand. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking at Rotorua for an event.

After a weekend with all the grandchildren, it was so nice for me and my husband to unwind in the spa, have a drink in the bar watching the rugby and then on to diner. All in the one place. Love it.

Very good, I think you need towel hooks on the back of the bathroom door, and the fan didn’t work for the shower steam.

Dear Shaun h., Thank you for taking the time to comment on your stay with us. I was disappointed to see your comments about your stay though. We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience, and it's apparent in this case that we fell short. I have taken your feedback on board and I have shared it with the team to look into all areas we could have done better. So sorry for the inconvenience! Please get in touch with me when you plan your next visit so that we can take good care of you. Sincerely, Edward Judd General Manager

Good stay

Kaci R. Couples - 19/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall the stay was lovely, there was a conference on and the music was quite loud in our room, but besides that we were quite happy. Housekeeping staff were so lovely and willing to chat as well as food and beverage. Reception staff seemed like they had no time for us, including an assistant manager which was the biggest down fall as we don’t come to Rotorua very often so it wasn’t the warmest welcome. With that being said Dave and Keekee On reception were a delight to see and talk to.

Well looked after

Room was tidy and good to stay. But I couldn't get hold of anyone at the reception by phone when I needed to enquire about something which was not on the information on the room TV. I also noticed that hot food for breakfast was not really hot good enough to eat.
