"This was our first time staying at this property, and we were very impressed. We stayed in a suite and found the check-in process to be quick and easy. It was also convenient to find a parking space close to our room, and we appreciated the range of facilities on offer. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The room was exceptionally clean, and the spa bath was more like a spa pool, which was a fantastic bonus. The underfloor heating added an extra touch of comfort...

Rydges Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"Rydges was a great hotel for exploring Rotorua. Kids eat free with an adult at the buffet, which greatly helped with costs. I loved the laundry machines being available to clean our dirty clothes so I could pack less. The hotel was quiet and the room was comfortable for 2 adults and a kid. I’ll happily return for another visit!"
