 "With its huge Mexican cartoon on the wall, nobody will ever miss Cactus Jack! It's just two blocks away from the tourist information centre and restaurants, but far away from the noise. What's striking is its Wild West theme -- bright colours, humorous cartoons, antique decorations, natural sunlight, and relaxed ambiance. Each room has its own character -- the stable, jail, barbershop, and...
 "The Wall is now part of the Base Backpacker Chain, some of the hipper, livelier, busier hostels in New Zealand. The Wall is centrally located in Rotorua and has three floors of rooms. The rooms are simple and clean with mixed dorms. The toilets are clean but could be closer to some of the dorms. One floor has female toilets/showers, another floor has unisex toilets/showers, and there...
 "Hot Rock Backpackers is a popular hostel in Rotorua and one of the main stops for Kiwi Experience and Stray Backpacker buses. It's part of the Beyond Backpackers group and has a good location as it is two blocks from the main part of town and right next to the Kuirau Geothermal Park. Similar to other Beyond Backpackers hostels, it offers dorms, triples, doubles, twins, and singles. Some...
 "Brand new hostel. Everything is sparkling new and spotless. Maybe some would think it a bit clinical but I like clean and new. I stayed in an en suite double room. Great facilities. There is an excellent kitchen, reading area and TV room, and a very friendly and helpful reception. It's only two blocks away from the main shopping and restaurant area. It's one of the best hostels in New Zealand...
 "We had a fantastic stay at Lyons Lake Stay. It is spotlessly clean and furnished to a very high standard. It is a beautiful and peaceful location. Cheryl went out of her way to sort out excursions for us and her organic breakfast was delicious. All in all a great place to stay at a very reasonable prices." … "A very welcoming and relaxing place to stay. Wonderful hostess who cannot do...
 "This hostel is not very good. You have to pay for everything! Internet is 2NZ$ per half an hour, lockers have to be paid with 1NZ$ per closing it (just like in train stations, when the coin falls when you open the locker), you do not have constantly warm water (goes from ice cold to extremely hot), no soap in the bathroom. I expected to have better accommodation in New Zealand as in South...
"The Lakehouse Hotel is a ten-minute walk from the bus stop, but most bus drivers will let you off almost outside it if you ask them nicely. Although it is called a hotel, it has a couple of dorm rooms, most of the facilities a hostel does, and charges hostel prices. We stayed in a double room, which was all that was left when we arrived, but it was a good price. The room has a view out...
 "THE best hostel I stayed at during my four months in New Zealand! My room was actually quite big, there's a bar onsite, and a huge hot tub/pool! It was clean and comfortable — it felt more like a hotel!" … "Nice spot! I camped on their small campsite so I cannot say much about the rooms, but the facilities were excellent, as was the service -- when I asked where hitchhikers can hit the...
MicroTel presents Rotorua’s most flexible, value-for-money luxury accommodation solution. We have a mix of accommodation ranging from luxury backpacker rooms to self-contained 2 bedroom units. Microtel Rotorua is located in the central business district, a stroll away from shopping, the Lake waterfront and Rotorua’s best Restaurants. Our central location makes this a great place to stay for...
"The Spa Lodge is a small, friendly hostel located in a central location in Rotorua. From the outside, it looks a little rundown and it's hard to see the hostel sign from the street, so keep a good eye out. There is twenty-four hour access to the hostel, but you must check in before reception closes around 8 unless you've made previous arrangements. The hostel also boasts its own natural hot...
 "The Funky Green Voyager is a remarkable little hostel with a great social atmosphere but without a full-on party vibe. The Location It is a fifteen-minute walk from the main bus station and well worth the walk to stay here. An airport bus can drop you off at the doorstep on request. Rooms and Bathrooms With fewer than thirty beds, the hostel immediately gives off a warm and...
 "Just a block and a half away from the bus terminal, Rotorua Central Backpackers is a convenient and comfortable place to call "home" while in Rotorua. It's a warm and welcoming hostel and a great place to relax. As a bonus, there are no bunks in the share rooms! The beds are comfortable and blankets are available for rent. The kitchen is large and well stocked with everything you'd need,...
69 Amohau Street
 "Well, well, well, nothing as advertised. the kitchens are of such a poor standard, the pots, pans, crockery, cutlery are ready for the dirt bin. The stove is falling apart, the oven door does not close, and oh my it really needs to be put on the side of the road. The blankets in the rooms need a good wash, the sheets feel stale and not crisp and clean. It was so disappointing as we had...


Rotorua Travel Tips & Suggestions

Comment by cas
Really loved the place. Agrodome, Pig and Whistle Pub, and Hells Gate are all musts while in Rotorua.
Comment by keith
Awesome place for Maori and NZ culture and history, but other than that a little boring for my tastes. Zorbing is a must do though!
