"There are plenty of other options in Rotorua."

2.0

The location was great. We could walk to Eat Street and many of the restaurant options when we werenโ€™t cooking in.

The room was a joke. It was barely room enough for one person, let alone two adults (who were not a couple.) The beds could not be separated. The bathroom was not cleaned well, the toilet needed a good scrub, and there was a clump of hair on our doorstep. Our window was broken - we could not lock it - and there was no way to cool the room off (we were there at the end of May and the room was 25 degrees) and still have privacy from the foot traffic. When we did have it open, mozzies came in. We were offered a fan but it only dropped the temperature by one degree. And I do believe my feet were bitten by bed bugs.

The location is very good in the city center and beds comfortable. Kitchen is very well structured with many facilities.

Toilets and bathrooms from ground floor were out of service and the top floor ones are very dirty, not cleaned often and the bad smell is very strong, trash can always full. Room is very small and there's no space for hanging clothes.

Liked everything the rooms the cooking and eating area actually the whole facilities even the location where it is based

Just needed a cooling fan for at night because it gets like less air at night because too hot in the room but I just opened the sliding door to get cool but having to do that my privacy and safety had none.
