Very comfortable room and close to a fascinating geothermal park. Only but small concern is a bit of traffic noise.

A good place to stay with a friendly host who was happy to share his knowledge of the area. Easy check in. Clean and tidy room with all amenities catered for. A soft comfy bed. Ample parking. Would happily stay here again if in the area.

Clean and Convenient
Just outside downtown Rotorua, Bella Vista was a convenient starting point for travel to area attractions. The staff was extremely helpful. The room was comfortable, but the furnishings were dated. It was very clean, but the sulphur smells of nearby pools of hot springs and vented steam got to us after a while.

Comfortable
Motel was easy to find with parking. Checkin was easy and quick. Room was very clean but not updated, which is fine, but know what you're getting. Personally as long as it's clean I am good, and it was. The only thing less than comfortable was how quick we ran out of hot water in the shower. My husband and I couldn't shower back to back without the second person quickly running out of hot water - even trying to take quick ones.

Absolutely loved how well the air conditioning worked. I slept like a baby in this quiet, clean, cold motel.

4/10 Fair

I didn't like the room, the bed wasn't comfortable, it was too soft. What's more, the manager was intimidating.

We ended up staying here last minute due to a bad experience at the Marsden Hotel down the road. It was a pleasant stay. The rooms are a bit small if you have a few suitcases, and the WiFi isn't great, but it has all the facilities for a one-night stop off, and I have no major complaints. Would stay here again for the price we paid.

The picture made the room look much bigger than it actually was. The room is actually quite small. It does have good amenities - small fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, dishes, desk, and TV.

8/10 Very good

We have stayed in other motels in this chain and this one was very similar to the others in terms of layout and facilities. The slight downsides of the Rotorua one were a feeling that it needed a little TLC to smarten it up a bit. Also at other Bella Vistas it was possible to get change for the washers and dryers but not here - had to go to the local shop.
