Top Rotorua Hotel Reviews

Prince's Gate Hotel

8/10 Good

"Such a beautiful old building that the owners are taking very good care of. The rooms were plush but small. The majority of the staff bent over backwards to help us and show us around. Recommend staying here for the history of the building."
