    Second time staying here, got a nice apartment with comfy beds in both rooms. Had a bunch of channels on the TV 📺, a spot to eat, and a chill area to hang out - all handy stuff.

    Overall it was a comfortable stay for 2 nights. The staff were nice, marvellous and fantastic location very close to main shopping centre. The main bar was available on the premises. We loved this stay.

    The bathroom was very dated.

    The location of this hotel close to Kuirau Park, with its mudpools and thermal vents, was perfect and excellent. the studio was reasonably large and well-equipped, especially for the children. - the staff were excellent, respectful, and had a sense of humor.

    The upgraded two bedroom suite with a fully stocked kitchenette was perfect for our needs. Yong, the staff member at check-in, was friendly and helpful, even providing a small carton of milk for our morning coffee. He gave great suggestions for places to eat and shop and provided maps to help us navigate the area. the hotel's two small thermal pools were a nice touch, although they were a bit too hot for us to fully enjoy. However, we still managed to splash ourselves with the mineral water. Just remember to remove your jewelry beforehand to prevent tarnishing. the hotel's location was convenient, within walking distance to main eateries and shopping, and directly across from a lovely park.

    Felt like home, no complaints at all.
