### Regent of Rotorua

2/10 Terrible

"I paid $350 USD for one night, and it feels more like a motel than a hotel. I stayed in room 18 on the second floor, and there’s no elevator, so you have to carry your heavy luggage up the stairs. The carpet feels dirty, and at 12:00 am there’s a lot of noise coming from the bar next door—we can’t sleep. When I called reception, I was told to be patient. If you’re looking for a good night’s sleep after a long day, I’d recommend staying somewhere else. I believe the hotel should clearly disclose the nighttime noise, as they are well aware of the issue and I’m clearly not the first guest to complain. The hotel blamed the noise on a holiday evening—but it seems like a constant issue rather than a one-time occurrence."

The city centre is generally laid out around Fenton Street and Tutanekai Street, offering a wide array of hotels, restaurants, and shops. It's a convenient base for exploring all the geothermal attractions and cultural experiences the area has to offer.
> 
>   
> Couples looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay will appreciate the hotels along the Rotorua Lakefront, particularly those near the Government Gardens. This area provides pleasant views of Lake Rotorua and easy access to walking paths, the Polynesian Spa, and the Rotorua Museum. It allows for a tranquil retreat after a day of sightseeing.

### When is the best time to go to Waiotapu?

> Generally, the summer months, from December to February, offer the warmest weather and longest daylight hours, which is excellent for exploring the outdoor attractions. However, this is also peak tourist season, so you can expect larger crowds, especially around popular attractions like the Lady Knox Geyser and the colourful pools. If you're planning a trip during this time, it's a good idea to book accommodation and any guided tours well in advance.
> 
>   
> For those who prefer a more tranquil experience with fewer people, the shoulder seasons – spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) – are ideal. The weather is still pleasant, often mild and sunny, making for comfortable exploring. You'll find the landscapes are particularly photogenic during these seasons, with autumn offering beautiful foliage in the surrounding areas.
> 
>   
> Winter, from June to August, is the quietest time to visit. While it can be cooler with a higher chance of rain, the geothermal features are just as spectacular, and the steam rising from the hot springs is even more dramatic against the cooler air. You'll likely have a more solitary experience, and accommodation prices might be more favourable.
