The room price was good and I was upgraded to a larger deluxe room with a balcony. The bed was very comfortable. However, the decor was very dated and looks tired, particularly the bathroom. The shower handle was detached although still usable. The main hallway carpets had large stains on them. I believe if the hotel was given a good upgrade and redecorated, this would be a very nice place to stay. I would consider staying again.

No tea towel, cutlery & plates in the room The beds are very good, just the right comfort. Good shower water pressure, clean linen & towels, hotel service is friendly. V/good breakfast & service.

Arawa hotel is a fine option for the Rotorua area. It is a bit old. The room is very spacious, but most things in the room look relatively old. The restaurant though is very good and very spacious! Staff service (both at lobby front desk and the restaurant) is excellent. There are some restaurants around the area which are good as well.

The property was in great condition. We liked our room which was superior Queen room had two very comfortable queen beds. Bathroom was nice and clean. Room had air conditioning which was the plus point. There was a ceiling fan too. Will recommend to people with young kids as have a lot of space for kids to run around and it was very quiet at night so they can sleep better.
