No fruit or cereal, toast or jams, not sure what type of milk, the fruit juice coloured water. But they are not catering for the New Zealand customer and when overseas tourism returns the breakfast may be considered suitable.

Pros: I initially booked a room at the Ibis however due to Covid19 and Ibis being a managed isolation facility, I was upgraded to stay at the Novatel Hotel right beside the Ibis, So my ratings above are in fact for my stay at Novatel Lakeside Rotorua I had an amazing stay and totally recommend. Staff were friendly and helpful, requested early check in, however they advised it wasn't guaranteed when i arrived at 12pm my room wasn't ready so went for a walk and had lunch across the road at Eat Street and did some shopping while I waited by the time i was finished my room was ready and great! also happy with the 11am check out was able to have a spa and swim before breakfast and coffee.

Pros: Loved the room, pool and restaurant. Beds very comfortable, good to have baths in the bathroom. Pool was great size and temperature

Pros: Family get away for Easter weekend.

Cons: The restaurant is a bit pricey.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: best bed ever for comfort; pool great, and was nice and warm

Cons: Was surprised by lack of cleanliness in the room - glassware & teaspoons dirty, a beer can used as an ashtray was still on the balcony, smell of the room from either airfreshener or cleaning products was hideous, and remained the whole time. Even brought home items that sat on the desk that now stink of it!

Pros: Good location downtown, close to waterfront. My "lake view" room was dated, with some cracks in the doorframe and aging furniture. However, was clean and overall adequately comfortable. "Lake view" from 2nd floor simply means a view of the spa across the street, which is actually on the lake - we had no real lake view and actually paid extra for the "view". Would need a higher floor for the view. Room was not worth the price. I would recommend staying away from this hotel. 3 stars at best.

Cons: See above.

Pros: Incredibly happy with Novotel Rotorua Lakeside and well looked after..

Pros: Friendly and very helpful staff. Spotless rooms with amazingly comfortable beds.

Cons: I loved everything- absolutely no issues.

Pros: Loved the location and the room was just perfect with views and soft bed :). Will surely stay again here.

Pros: Breakfast

Pros: We were put on the 2nd floor , but asked to go higher and no problem ; we were placed on the 5th floor wit great views over the city and hills

Pros: All went well, nice place to stay!
