The Bella Vista is simple, clean and had everything we needed, including a fridge/microwave/dishes for making breakfast. There is free parking and even a guest laundry room. The staff were very friendly. The motel is located just steps from the city park with geothermal pools, which is fantastic. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the downtown area with restaurants, shops and thermal spas, as well as the lakefront. We definitely recommend it!

It's located on a busy street, so there is traffic noise -- although we found it mostly calmed down at night and was fine for sleeping.

Hotel was located conveniently close to centre of Rotorua and there was a Chip shop and small store opposite. The gentleman at reception was really helpful even searching for my glasses after I'd left when I'd packed them in my case! Beds were comfortable.

The location next to the main road was convenient but also noisy. There was an extractor fan in the bathroom meaning basically a hole in the wall all the noise comes through. Wasn't so bad with the door shut. Thankfully, was very tired so slept through it.

Excellent place to stay in Rotorua, run by a very down-to earth gentleman. The room I stayed in was spacious, spotlessly clean, well equipped and well-presented. Good quality tea and coffee (even decaf), good size fridge with a small freezer compartment. Heaps of TV channels, and a good pressure shower with eco-friendly shampoo and body soap supply. Even a small recycling bin so you don't have to throw everything in the rubbish or leave bottles and cans etc standing around - fabulous! Although located on a major road, I could barely hear any traffic noise that Saturday night. There is a bakery (nice pies!) and a dairy just across the road, and Kuirau Park with its hot springs is literally around the corner.

Nothing here.

Friendly and welcoming staff, clean and spacious room, excellent hot water and pressure, comfortable beds, decent value.

Beds were a bit too soft for our preference, the entrance to the room was a single-glazed sliding door which can disturb light sleepers but it was fine for us and couldn't hear the main road. The only natural light was the bathroom window and the sliding door but need to have the curtains pulled for privacy so it was a bit dark but can be solved with having the lights on. But something for other travellers to take note if they really prefer natural light.

It was a very clean, modern studio which I managed to get at a bargain rate as part of a special deal on Bookings.com

I'd paid less for very similar rooms at other motels in Rotorua the previous two nights without them being on this special low rate. So I felt that the room was a little small when looking at its regular price. This motel's prices are generally double many other motels in the area so I thought the room would be larger, but it wasn't. But apart from that still very pleasant and comfortable.

Good location. Clothes Washing facilities. Comfortable rooms- typical motel room but spacious and clean. Heater in bathroom. Microwave . Fish and chip shop in same road ( closed Mondays!)

Lack of dishes to use in microwave / only one provided. Looks dated from outside but fine inside. Garden not very appealing .

I arrived early - 9:45am, well aware of the time but stopped to ask if I could drop my bag and use the toilet and I was pleasantly given my room key, no additional cost just moved stuff around to make it happen. The hospitality from the owner was a far reach of finding this service elsewhere, I was unwell and was ever so grateful as I slept most of the day away. Thank you so much for the manaki

Really good location!! The room had everything you needed and was very clean. We arrived later and so scheduled late check in so was accommodating, although not sure it's a regular thing. Parking available so was very useful. Close to everything you need.

It was fine for our stay but the room is on a the smaller side.

Provisions in room was good. Room was clean apart from the shower head. The park next door is a great place to visit.

Seemed to be confused about booking although my paperwork was clear, not a problem however. Noise from other rooms. Ok location next to a good park but a bit further from restaurants than I would have liked.

Location was really easy to get too and find, heaps of things to do around within walking distance too, really nice staff there as well, rooms were really tidy and clean, had everything we needed for making breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall excellent, and will be going there again if I need a place to stay in rotorua
