Good customer service.

8/10 Very good

The motel is in an older area and is showing it's age in some areas. Our room door was difficult to open and a few of the interior fixtures were pretty old and low end. It's on a busy road and can be noisy when traffic is heavy.

JOHN, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and roomy

We were upgraded which was a nice surprise. The hotel is in a good location and we were able to walk to everything. The room was very spacious and clean. We didn't expect the room to be cleaned daily and fresh towels so that was a pleasant surprise. It is next to a road but we weren't disturbed by the traffic.
D, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We have stayed in other motels in this chain and this one was very similar to the others in terms of layout and facilities. The slight downsides of the Rotorua one were a feeling that it needed a little TLC to smarten it up a bit. Also at other Bella Vistas it was possible to get change for the washers and dryers but not here - had to go to the local shop.

My room was ar bottom ,too much noise from top room
Faiyaz, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed two nights at the Bella Vista Motel Rotorua during our New Zealand road trip. The motel is a pretty basic establishment good for those who won't spend much time in their rooms but need a nice place to sleep and shower. Our arrival into Rotorua was late, and we were super thankful to the manager for being willing to allow us to check in well after the 8pm limit. We weren't able to arrive until 9:15pm, and the manager had even been willing to wait as late as 10pm. The flexibility helped us hit all of our stops on what was a busy day before our check-in. The complimentary fresh jar of milk was also a great touch, and the milk was really delicious--very fresh and the best we had on our trip! The room itself is pretty basic and somewhat tight on space. Aside from the bed, table, and chairs, there was limited room to move around or lay out our suitcases. The bathroom is spacious but in a linear direction, with limited rack and hook space but lots of counter space. Our internet was suitable--not blazing fast but not particularly laggy. Overall, this is definitely a "you get what you pay for," but highlighted by service and accommodation that went beyond written obligations to allow us to get that much more out of our trip!

Good spot to stay in Rotorua

A nice place to stay. The front desk did everything they could when they realised they hadn't given me a room with two beds. We got given milk free of charge and the internet was fast and the bathroom heater warmed up every room. Opposite Kaiaru park as well where you can see free thermal pools.
