I think this hotel was great value for the price we paid. It's literally a 10-15 minute walk from the Te Puia cultural center, which is the reason we fly into Rotorua for the day. 15-minute Uber ride from the airport and back, easy in and out.

Another benefit was the room size. I was able to get a one bedroom so my husband could get some work done while I relaxed in the adjoining room. Wifi was good enough for what we needed it for.

The included breakfast was... Meh. Quite lackluster. Probably one of the lesser quality breakfast buffets we've had in a while... But I wasn't expecting anything spectacular though. The place has older vibes with a stench in the air. I'm not sure if it was a sewage problem, or maybe it was wafting over from the geysers? But either way it wasn't pleasant.

We had an overnight stay in a executive suite. The bed was super comfy, the room decor was little outdated but everything was super clean. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Great selection for breakfast and the D bar is great space to have a few pre diner drinks.
Hotel is close to the redwoods and Te Puia, and a 5 min drive to the Sir Howard Morrison convention centre.

The hotel's service is full of warmth and sincerity, and the staff are enthusiastic, meticulous, natural and considerate, making people feel comfortable and respected.

The room is large, and it is stress-free for a couple with two kids. The facilities are complete and the service staff are very nice. Parking is convenient, and there is a heated swimming pool and SPA. The hygiene is also very good.

The staff is warm and friendly, and the service is thoughtful. Traveling alone can be a bit lonely sometimes, but staying here makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. And it is very convenient to drive to the attractions.

I was really pleasantly surprised when I stayed at Distinction Hotel this time!

Originally I only booked an ordinary superior room, but we arrived early. The front desk said that the room was still being cleaned, so they were very considerate and upgraded us to Deluxe Twin Room for free! I really didn't expect it~ and the staff were super polite throughout the whole process, which made me feel very warm.

The room was bigger than I thought, with two large beds that were soft and comfortable, a desk and two comfortable blue sofa chairs, which were very convenient whether I was sitting and browsing my phone, drinking coffee or packing my luggage.

The whole check-in process was very smooth, and the service was also very good. It felt like a hotel that "cares about the guest experience very well", and the details were arranged very considerately. I didn't expect that an ordinary check-in would become such a happy experience~

everything was great apart from the room itself. Badly needs updating especially the bathroom. Didnt think it was worth what we were charged. Staff were friendly & helpful, food was ok.

In the trip to New Zealand that just ended, I had an extremely wonderful and unforgettable experience. From the carefully planned tour route, to the professional and responsible travel agency arrangements, to the wonderful explanations of the tour guides and the meticulous and careful service of the team leader Dai Jie, every link is perfect. The arrangement of the tour route is unique. Our itinerary covers many highlights of the North and South Islands of New Zealand, from the bustling city of Auckland on the North Island to the magical geothermal wonders of Rotorua; from the magnificent mountains and rivers of Queenstown on the South Island to the bright starry sky of Lake Tekapo. Whether it is natural scenery or cultural customs, we can enjoy them to our heart's content. The itinerary for each day is reasonable and compact, which will not make people feel hurried and tired, but also make full use of time and deeply experience the unique charm of each place. The travel agency's arrangements are very thoughtful. The accommodation options are even more intimate, from warm homestays to luxurious hotels, which can meet the needs of different tourists, and the superior geographical location makes it convenient for us to travel and rest. In terms of catering arrangements, not only can we taste the local specialties, but also fully consider the differences in tourists' tastes to ensure that everyone can eat to their satisfaction. The explanations by tour guide Jerry and team leader Dai Jie were a highlight of the trip. They are well-versed in New Zealand's history, culture, geography, etc. Every time they visit a scenic spot, they can give us a vivid, interesting and easy-to-understand explanation, which gives us a deeper understanding and knowledge of this beautiful country. Whether it is the mysterious legends of Maori culture or the ecological habits of the unique local animals and plants, they can all be told.
The team leader's attentive service makes people feel warm. From patient communication and careful preparation before the trip to the care and concern for every tourist during the trip, he always accompanies us with enthusiasm and professionalism. Jay can solve any problems quickly and effectively, so that our trip has no worries. The happiest thing is that the team leader's photography buff is full. Take beautiful pictures and videos for everyone throughout the journey. Finally, make a travel Vlog for everyone. Be sure to add chicken legs. This trip to New Zealand has become a precious and beautiful memory in my life because of the excellent travel route arrangement and thoughtful team leader service. Amway recommends the Antelope Tribe to friends who want to explore New Zealand. I believe they will definitely bring you an equally wonderful journey!

Vet comfortable bed, nice room and breakfast was good. It was nice to lie in the hot tub in early evening. The only real disappointment was the poor equipment that constituted the gym.

Ive been to many resturants in my time and from my list i would only revisit 2...Nutilius Tauranga and Paesano Melbourne...both cheaper than here by $15 and have a much bigger yummier spread to choose from....my daughter no dealt ate our money worth with her oyster intake but the food was bland....nothing to rave about...a review of the menu is needed especially for the price paid and desent side dishs with roast meat needs updating.....

So terribly disappointed. In the past Chapmans was a name linked to quality buffet dining and so it was my first choice when I visited Rotorua with overseas family. Unfortunately I was dismayed by the substandard choice and the dubious quality of the food. The hot food selection was appalling to say the least, and heaven forbid if you were not partial to cheese sauce on your steamed vegetables, pasta or fish. It was also a bit alarming to note that a 13 year old is classed as an adult and pays full buffet price of nearly $50. My children did highly recommend the dessert selection though, that received the extra star.

Good food for a fair price, don't expect too much. The staff is friendly and eggs can be ordered directly.
