Were meant to stay two nights here however reduced to one upon check in - as previous reviews have stated, this hotel mainly caters for tour groups. Rooms were ok, bathroom could have been cleaner. Short walk into the main part of Rotorua where restaurants are located. Rotorua itself wasn't as exciting as we thought it would be - we... More

when i stayed here the place was filled with tour groups spending one night in rotorua, so busloads of people would overrun the place and checkout the next day. the restaurant food was good. location is convenient to walks in town and along the thermal lakefront. the room was fine but had dim lighting. the indoor hotel pool was tiny...

What a shame that a little more time and money can't be spent doing up this place as the 2 bedroom suite we had was spacious but just didn't feel that clean. Not a place I felt I wanted to spend a lot time at and the pool area was tired looking. Lovely view and a fantastic breakfast and for... More

The room that we checked into was an absolute disgrace in terms of cleanliness, maintenance and quality of bedding. - huge liquid mess on the back of the door which had not been cleaned up (I don't want to even think about what this substance was) - filthy shabby bathroom with mouldy shower curtain and hair in bath/basin/toilet/floor - pillowcase...

We stayed here recently for one nights stop over. After looking around numerous hotels and motels we found this one to be the nicest etc for our money. Room was reasonably modern with two bathrooms. It was lovely to sit out on the deck on a summer evening with a drink, even if there was quite a bit of noise... More

The Sudima is in a great location for exploring Rotorua especially with the Polynesian Spa over the road. With town a 5 minute walk away. The room was standard, basic, not the roomiest; the bathroom was not the cleanest. Great buffet breakfast made up for the average stay. More

Nice location next to Ploynesian Spa and on edge of lake, not far to walk to town centre. Nothing negative to say about this hotel, room was great with all facilities as described. Breakfast was also very good with plenty of choice. Staff were obliging. Used the Spa once, no frills but ok. Didn't go in the pool. Had the... More

Took a "grabaseat special" at NZD$119/night for a "superior room". Good location for walking around Rotorua. As its off the main street its one of the hotels that doesnt suffer from the road noise typical of the majority. Room was basic, bed was OK. You get what you pay for. More

Seemed to be a bit of basic, clean and comfortable hotel. The hotel is situated right next to the lake so the smell is ever-present. You are right next to the Polynesian Spas so this is great if you want to visit the hot springs. But you are right down one end of town, so you have to walk at... More
