"Fantastic upscale hostel/motel"

10.0

I cannot say enough good about this place! Wonderful service, comfortable room with private bath/shower, great breakfast buffet (extra), bar, & restaurant (reserve your dining time early). Plenty of free parking. Our room looked out directly at the volcano with a sliding door walk out patio. Also, great location. We had planned to leave a vehicle at each end of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing but they counseled us that there is a 4 hr time limit after which you are likely to get towed, so we bought a round trip shuttle. Good to have the heads up!

Loved the location for walking, it was central. Did not like the noise from the restaurant, we were right beside it and it was not ideal. Kitchen facilities were also appreciated and staff were helpful.

"A little past it's prime."

Very run down hotel but we kind of knew that when we decided to go there. Everyone there was very friendly and everyone was having a good time. Don't think I would ever stay there again because it was a little below my standards.

Never ended up staying at this property as was unable to confirm after hours booking despite multiple attempts to contact Skotel. Wotif attempted to get a refund but the hotel refused. Poor customer service. Very unlikely to ever stay again or recommend. TBH the location is good, but there’s better places to stay in National Park
