The hotel had a unique character and charm but lacked some essential amenities. The rooms had areas for improvement, including outdated style and cleanliness issues, but the service eventually made up for initial discomfort. The location had potential but needed attention to detail and maintenance. The dining experience was satisfactory, with room for enhancement in food quality. Overall, a mixed experience with both positives and negatives.

The hotel offers a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms are spacious and clean, with great views, but accessing them before checkout can be tricky. The service may feel a bit overwhelmed, but staff are matter of fact and try their best. The location is a bit far from town but offers unique geyser views. Dining options are limited and early, but some extras are available for a small fee. Facilities are average.

The hotel had spacious rooms but was very shabby and cold, inclusive of continental breakfast for $120 NZD. The service, although helpful enough, could improve booking management and room cleanliness. The location was the only highlight, right next to Pohutu geyser and Te Puia thermal area. The dining experience, starting at 7 am, was pitiful and not worth the money. The facilities require better maintenance.

The hotel is in a fairly quiet location, perfect for relaxation with a view of the golf course. The rooms were warm and cozy, ideal for my toddler who didn't need to be layered up. The service was welcoming and helpful overall, although there were limitations due to a relief manager's health issue. The dining experience was basic, but you could upgrade for a cooked breakfast at a small additional cost.

Rooms

The room was lovely with two double beds, a television, safe, and a good bathroom. It was warm, had no smell from the park behind, and even had a small fan heating. Being in a 'Poolside Room' was a great experience.

Service

The service was a bit like a character from 'League of Gentlemen' initially, but eventually, the staff offered to find us a fridge, TV, and even some milk. While helpful, there seemed to be a lack of regular maintenance in this once iconic establishment.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room directly overlooked the geyser, which was a unique and exciting experience for us. The modern room with a flat-screen TV was comfortable and had an excellent view of the geyser, allowing us to watch it erupt all night. This saved us the cost of a geyser tour, which was a bonus. The hotel's location on the main street was convenient, although a bit messy looking, and being next door to Te Puia was a definite highlight.

The facilities were decent, but the sauna area needed tidying up and maintenance. The inability to close the curtains properly due to the hooks being separated was a minor inconvenience.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The large and clean rooms were a plus, but the outdated decor and lack of towels on the second night were disappointing. The service was generally welcoming, but there were moments of discomfort. The location was great, overlooking the geyser, but some areas felt depressing. The dining experience was average, and the facilities were satisfactory.

Staying at this bed and breakfast was an interesting experience. The rooms were great, opening directly onto the Pohutu Geyser, but there were issues with early entry attempts. Despite being clean and safe, the service was lacking, with unhelpful staff and poor management by the same individual. The location, right next to the geyser, was superb, but the overall view was somewhat depressing. The dining, though fairly average, was alright and good value, while the facilities were adequate.

Rooms

The room I had, a suite facing the park and overlooking the Pohutu Geyser, was fantastic. It was a steal for just a small extra cost compared to a standard room. The cleanliness and safety standards were top-notch.
