My-Bella-Puka TripAdvisor review

The Hotel experience was diabolical. From the moment we arrived our room wasn’t ready, no explanation just told we had to wait, was given a drink voucher but the bar was closed! 2 hours later we were shown to our tired old room. Chipped sink, no towels, old bath/shower, no plunger coffee, safe broken, furniture old, We changed for dinner and ate at the Atlas in house restaurant- it was terrible! Really bad food, bland, over cooked, slop! I can’t believe that the meals were put together by a qualified chef?? (This was the buffet) the next day we had no towels so couldn’t have a shower for hours, eventually we gave up and went out.. finally we got bath towels around 8pm. On check out the girl at the desk had no customer service skills whatsoever. The one saving grace was one front of house gentleman that managed to be kind and keep guests calm as he kept his cool with all the chaos going on. He needs a promotion! Goodness knows where the manager was hiding? Communication with guests would have been good. Shame on Novotel.

A lovely hotel, in a great location, but getting a bit tired.

We have stayed here several times and love this hotel. The location is great, the staff always good. So when in Rotorua last week, there was only one place to stay. We did enjoy our stay, however the room we stayed in was in need of renovation. I understand that this is easier said than done, but in order to maintain a standard, these things must be done. To sum up, still a great location, still great staff, but some maintenance needs to be done, which took the shine off our stay.

Excellent all round stay !

Pleasant staff, good amenities in the hotel. Nice and handy to the local restaurants and bars. We took the offered upgrade and were pleased we did. It was lovely to open the curtains in the morning and see the sun shining on the lake. The hotel was clean and tidy. We would happily go back again!

Memorable for the wrong reason

We were celebrating our golden anniversary so chose Novotel Rotorua for the occasion - but very disappointed with the standard of our room as we chose a dearer one than normal. There was bad damp smell in the bathroom which we noticed when we returned from dinner later in the evening. It was obvious the fan in the bathroom was not working as the room fogged up instantly when showering. Even with the door closed the smell still lingered all night. We advised the staff at check out - I would have thought the housekeeping staff would have noticed and reported the smell!
