Clean and Convenient
Just outside downtown Rotorua, Bella Vista was a convenient starting point for travel to area attractions. The staff was extremely helpful. The room was comfortable, but the furnishings were dated. It was very clean, but the sulphur smells of nearby pools of hot springs and vented steam got to us after a while.

Comfortable
Motel was easy to find with parking. Checkin was easy and quick. Room was very clean but not updated, which is fine, but know what you're getting. Personally as long as it's clean I am good, and it was. The only thing less than comfortable was how quick we ran out of hot water in the shower. My husband and I couldn't shower back to back without the second person quickly running out of hot water - even trying to take quick ones.

The picture made the room look much bigger than it actually was. The room is actually quite small. It does have good amenities - small fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, dishes, desk, and TV.

Needed somewhere to stay close to the hospital and was blown away by how good this place was at such a great price. Is situated on a main road so traffic noise but the room itself was lovely with a comfy bed and very clean. The staff were just so lovely. I’d certainly not hesitate to stay there again.

We had a great stay it was perfect with our miniature daschund. A bigger room would have been nice but not available with pets.
