This was an expensively appointed hotel when built but it is starting to tire. Still lovely. But please please clean the windows, inside and out; a simple thing that will just lift the whole experience. Breakfast was excellent and evening dining is good.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. The hotel is a little jaded now but you can still see its former splendour. I thought it was wonderful inspite of its tired facilities. The staff were super helpful and the breakfast is good. I would stay here again.

Reasonably priced place to stay
A good place to stay at a very reasonable price. Room was comfortable but a little dated. Screen between bathroom and bedroom was faulty and difficult to close or open. Limited menu options and food was average, but having a restaurant on site was handy as it saved a 10min drive into Rotorua
Great views from hotel

Great value for money
Great value for money, staff were friendly and helpful, room clean and comfortable. Food was good. The only faults we found were the screen between the bathroom and bedroom was in poor condition and didn’t operate properly and the washing machines in the laundry hadn’t been cleaned properly.

4/10 Fair

The property was clean, though quite rundown and not indicative of the pictures or description. The staff gave limited service and room was not prepared for arrival. They did not have adequate staffing for the peak period and cited more than once that we would have to wait for service due to being at capacity. Whilst the property was clearly quite stunning when originally built, it is lacking now.

Lovely spot
Lovely spot. Very comfortable room. Staff were lovely. Water wasn’t real hot. Not many food places around but hamburgers and chips from side store at the mini market were the best we have had for ages.3 minute walk down the road. Great place to stay to visit Okere falls.

4/10 Fair

First let me start by saying the staff at VR Resort in Rotorua was amazing, but the facilities are in dire need of cleaning and maintenance. At one point in time I could see this was a pristine hotel, but as we walked into our room the drapes had mold, the comforter had bleach stains, the closet door handle came off and the lamp broke in half as we went to turn it on. We decided to go to the sauna and the ceiling had white mold growing. The more we looked around the more we noticed minor fixes that would have improved the visual representation that the facilities were cared for. In addition, cleanliness is a factor, having garbage left in the hallways is not a good representation and guest laundry areas have to be cleaned if they are opened to guest.

This property is clearly older and while that is not necessarily a problem, there is some maintenance that needs to be addressed. There was very noticeable water damage to the sealing of the shower and the sink faucet was loose enough to move around whenever you touch it even lightly. The hot water kettle kept turning off (which is fine if you keep turning it back on) but it had a smell that I wasn’t a fan of. The staff was kind and helpful when we saw them but this is a very large building (apparently part time-share) and only spoke to a couple of people the two days we were there. Overall, the beds were soft, the water pressure was good, and the room was okay for the price. If it were a little closer to the city or the property was in a little better condition it would have been solid.

The hotel setting is wonderful it’s nicely situated on a lake and is in a very quiet location. Mostly things were good although the property is definitely showing its age. Needs a little TLC.
