"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...

Top Tihiotonga Hotel Reviews

Prince's Gate Hotel

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at Princes Gate. We would like to acknowledge the efficient, respectful and welcoming staff. Our room was clean, spacious, warm and had everything we needed. The 2 dining room staff coped so well on the night when there were large numbers of guests and they were obviously understaffed. They were very busy and maintained an excellent, friendly, professional service. We enjoyed the breakfast and appreciated the range of food available. We thought the prices for the evening meals were excessive. Limited parking available."

STAY280 & STAY284 Rotorua

8/10 Good

"We stayed 2 nights in a one bed suite, with king single, and spa bath. The room was lovely, seems very recently renovated. The housekeeping staff were very lovely and efficient. The bedding here was my favourite part. Super comfortable, pillows and comforter. Loved it. It's also really well located. Close to all the shops/restaurants and equally close to the all the attractions in Rotorua. Would definitely choose again."

Newina Rotorua

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the friendly and helpful welcome we received, and the beautifully furnished, spacious and immaculately clean 2 bedroom unit we stayed in. Beds - great! Lovely linen and comfy - firm beds but not hard. 2 toilets much appreciated. Kitchen was excellent and reasonably well equipped- a couple of suggestions here though - microwave, sitting on top of rangehood is well above safe height of 1250-1350 off floor and I'd suggest remounting on the wall. Also no bowl of any sort for a salad or microwaving ( if you could reach it!). During our 3 day stay we did cook a little. Bathroom underfloor heating didn't seem to be on and tiles were cold. No handrail etc for climbing into shower over bath. With 2 bedrooms/ 1 bathroom and 1 foggy bathroom mirror , another mirror and/or essential full length mirror somewhere would be hugely helpful. Being downstairs by stairs was noisy at times, but that's unavoidable in this style of motel, as are the extremely narrow parks for medium size SUV's. These are tiny things though, in general I'd definitely recommend Newina and would stay again."
