Mm looked fine from the outside but it is immediately apparent it is in need of a thorough update. Our rooms were deluxe spa rooms which we laughed when we found that in addition to a bathroom there was another area at the front of the room which contained another bath with spa jets. Now this bath had been cleaned... more

Booked a king spa room here for $90.00 via Rydges Website (using their proirity guest 10% off) approximately three hours before we checked in. We primarily booked as was cheap, the room had a two person spa and was within walking distance of where we were planning on having dinner. Check in was great and free parking always a bonus.... more

We were scheduled to stay at the Rydges for two nights as part of our honeymoon trip. Very nice lobby and restaurant. The rooms were a different story. We were shuffled off to a far corner of the hotel that looked as if it were an old attendants' or nurse's room. The whole hotel had a very "weird" feeling. Very... more

Stayed at Rydges Hotel for two nights last weekend. We were booked in to another hotel and decided to change to Rydges at the last minute after viewing their facilities online - so glad we did!! Arrived and were told we had received a free upgrade to a spa deluxe room which was fantastic as I had wanted to book... more

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. We were given 4th floor rooms which have panoramic views across to racetrack. Size of room is very impressive. Two queen size beds are very clean and comfortable. LCD tv and air-conditioner are very nice touches. Bathroom is at odd with the rest of the room, old and tired looking fixtures. Swimming... more

For our 18th wedding anniversary we stayed two nights in a wonderful big room with spa bath and wonderful balcony views out towards lake and hills. Overall I would say it was fine for the amount it cost however was spoiled by a few things: - the spa bath had rotten wood breaking off and some of the woodwork was... more

Rydges Rotorua is located a short drive from town centre. Room 302 was a king spa room and we upgraded to this class of room because of the outstanding value for money that the hotel website offered. The room was huge with spacious king bed, kitchenette and a private balcony overlooking the racecourse and towards Lake Rotorua. There was a... more

Stayed for a week in October for our honeymoon. Didn't realise how far from town centre it was. You could walk but it would take you a good 20 mins, which wasn't very pleasant in the cold or rain. Overall thought it was alright, not fantastic, but not terrible either. Main problems were the outdated furnishings and restaurant and the... more
