Relaxing, great service provided for our seminar. Awesome procedures for L2 safety.

Disappointing

Rachelle Families - 10/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Very expensive and not worth it!!! Pool had to be booked and couldn't get in till 9pm - not a great time for kids! No buffet breakfast either. These things not stated on website. Moved to a room that had a view of MIQ facility next door with guards and guests exercising in their carpark. Very unsettling! Kids got food poisoning from room service so we didn't even stay the night - checked out around 10:30pm. Will not stay here again.

Good location and great for families

Ken Families - 09/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We booked 2 rooms for a family of 6. The children loved the free ice cream they were given at reception. We received 2 adjoining lake view rooms which were of good size with comfortable beds. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, we were unable to have the buffet breakfast and dinner at the Atlas Café. However, we did manage to have ala carte breakfast there which was good. The lamb spring rolls that we had as snacks together with out free drinks were nice. The swimming pool colour and décor could use a bit of an uplift, change in colour palate and modernisation. However, it was still a fun filled experience for the children. The staff have been extremely helpful and pleasant to interact with. Overall, it was a great stay and experience. Hopefully, we will be able to have the buffet experience the next time we come.

Well located.

Tracey Families - 08/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Had an issue with safe malfunction, shift changes and miscommunication meant that we had 4 different people come and stuff locked in for a whole day and overnight which wasn’t ideal. That said, friendly staff and good experience.

Great location but poor service

Sheryl Couples - 08/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Loved the corner lake view room. Bar and restaurant service left us feeling annoyed and not sure that we will stay again.

Anonymous Families - 08/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was fine. Only issue we had was that we were are family of 3 but was only provided with 2x towels etc. Asked at reception for extra and was told the extra ones would be bought to room. Didn’t arrive, and had to leave a note for cleaners the next day

Annual Stay

wendyj181 07/10/2021 TripAdvisor review

Another stay at the Novotel, our go to for our annual holiday in Rotorua. Disappointed that we couldn't use the pool area due to the 2 bubble COVID requirement but understand the need. Also disappointed no buffet breakfast but we'll just have to return once we're out of Level 2!!

Business Trip

bhaskars121 22/08/2021 TripAdvisor review

Well located hotel close to eating outlets, lake side and easy walk to town center. Hotel is Clean and tidy with good meeting and entrainment areas. Breakfast is excellent with many options. Front desk reception area needs attention - waited for around 10minutes at check in time while the only person was on the phone.

Kia Ora Thank you for positive review. I am pleased that you had a great stay overall and that we were able to accommodate. I will pass your feedback over to our team as this will encourage us to keep up the good work and areas that need improvement. I am sorry to hear about the wait at Reception. I will also pass over to our team as we strive to give excellent service. I hope we do see you back again with us in the future.

The window had happy birthday on it from previous person staying written in the condensation on the window and rubbish under the bed. Not cleaned fully also the shower head needs a descale or a new one water came out in all directions. Other than that all was great .

Kia Ora I would like to send our sincerest apologies regarding the cleanliness of the room. I have shared your feedback with our team to ensure we make the improvements needed as this is not the service we promise should this occur in the future. I am delighted to hear that the rest of your stay was comfortable and that overall you had a great experience. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards.

Awesome Service.

Enjoyable stay

David H 26/07/2021 TripAdvisor review

Very enjoyable and relaxing stay at Novotel. One of the reasons i stay at Novotel Rotorua is to enjoy the mineral spa. Had a very nice dinner at the Atlas Cafe & Restaurant. I did notice the chef that was preparing and taking orders from diners(I was one of them) seemed a bit stressed out when he was there all by himself doing everything. Overall, my family and I enjoy our stay at Novotel Rotorua as always. Look forward to my next visit.

Kia Ora David Thank you so much for your feedback. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed our mineral spas as well as the Buffet Dinner. I will share your feedback with the appropriate department regarding the service so I send our sincerest apologies. I am delighted that your stay overall was an enjoyable one. We look forward to seeing you back again with us.
