ibis Rotorua, Rotorua

Good spot for value and close to restaurants and the lake.

That's another standard Ibis, not so much to expect

Short walk from the lake & Eat St which has a number of decent restaurants. The rooms are tiny. We were a family of 3 and barely had any space. The shower area is a joke. Terrible wifi considering they charge $10 per day. Decent breakfast if you get rate with breakfast included.

The hotel was very convenient to dining and shopping, but the rooms were small and showed a little wear and tear. The beds were very firm for my taste. Wifi was expensive and only free for an hour a day in the lobby. It also seems that it is a tour group hotel. A foreign tour group checked in our second night and they were loud talking to each other in the corridors.

The hotel itself is fine, its staff were wonderful and friendly. BUT, I think the hotel hosts a lot of large group of tourists. I stayed for 2 days and the first day, there was 2 big groups of tourists from China. When I went down to have breakfast, it was packed with people speaking loudly. I saw a lady take a spoonful of scramble eggs to her mouse, sniffed, and put it back!!! Then a guy kept putting his coffee cup back to get more milk after having a few sips. The next day, there were 1 group of Chinese, 1 group of Korean, and 1 group of westerners. They completely took over the breakfast area with no single table left for me to sit. The entire area was loud and unpleasant. I have to say, however, that the staff were great and very prompt in keeping the area clean by wiping down the counter areas and taking away used dishes. However, it was an unpleasant experience for me as the solo traveler to have the breakfast, which I paid extra for. So I advice not to stay here if you travel by yourself.
