Budget- poorly run “hotel”
When we arrived the front desk were unable to find our booking, after 30 minutes waiting they gave us a room. The room sleeps 4 (as booked), there was only one chair, one stool, 2 cups, 2 glasses 2 bathtowels, one hand towel, hand soap only, no hygiene kit at all(shower caps, moisturisure, etc..), The beds are very uncomfortable. The mattresses are very soft and uneven. We paid for breakfast. The breakfast was terrible: no hot water, no coffee or tea prepared. The staff expect the guest to fill the kettle and turn it on themselves and the milk was sour. Also there were no alternative milk options such as oat or soy. The food was got cold very quickly as the plate warmers were not on. The dining area was freezing cold as the heating was not on. The breakfast option was very limited and there was no cereal for the children. When we tried to talk to reception about it, after not being interested in finding a solution just ignored us and picked up the phone to talk to someone else.

When we entered the door staff were screaming at each other and stressed. screaming at customers. No customer service. People were waiting for an hour in line to get access to their rooms. The worst experience I have ever had. Laundry was piled up round the corridors of the hotel, beds in the hallway. The place looked untidy and unprofessional. Cleaning staff were working hard but other staff not showing them respect. I will avoid this hotel in the future. Not enough safe car parking.

The room was modern, clean, and very comfortable with plush bedding and excellent amenities. The hotel's location is perfect—close to Rotorua's top attractions yet peaceful. The ample parking was also convenient. Overall, my experience at AWA Hotel was outstanding. The combination of comfort, location, and excellent service makes it a top choice in Rotorua.

It was a lovely place to stay. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was nice and clean, and nice and fresh. However the bedding was too small for the bed so it wasn’t big enough to share with 2 in the bed. Also the beds were hard and the pillows to soft. Other than that was a lovely stay.

The room was tidy upon entering and looked inviting, but during our stay little things popped up, beds are hard as rocks to sleep on, very uncomfy, cobwebs in the bathroom fan extractor blowing around, no side tables with lamps so you have to use the main light for lighting, horrible at night when you want to try relax, the bathroom sink had mold around it aswell. In the two days staying there atleast 6 new staff were at the front reception, some are young and misinformed about the policies especially the bond policy it does not get released back to you upon checkout (one staff member said it did) it takes 10 business days apparently (another staff member said) little to no parking at night time made us feel uneasy at night not having our car outside the hotel under the cameras, its first in first serve with the parking. The hotel has certain guests with gang affiliation who stay there so be prepared for that with yelling and screaming, especially on their drug cumdowns. The owner likes to yell alot and talk very fast aswell, doesnt seem to actually listen to customers, would rate this place a 2/10 to stay. Never again.

The staff were amazing and made up for alot of the issues. The rooms seem new and modern..But there is no furniture only beds, 1 x bedside table, small benchtop with kettle. Tiny fridge that cant fit anything it. No where to put your luggage. Very odd,cOne arm chair. It was advertised as sound proofed!! Only theres no carpet and you can hear everything above..walking, stomping, door slamming alllll night. Outside our room was a sensor light which kept going off and lighting up half our room. Mattresses are incredibly cheap. But again we loved the staff day and night. You get what you pay for and it was very well priced...i would stay again but not on the bottom floor.

Got a great deal price was very reasonable for a solo person.
