Haka House Rotorua

Cheap and cheerful. Convenient to get to the visitor centre, Polynesian spa and te pu ta.

I never thought a room would be designed right next to the kitchen/common area. Even though there is a reminder about quiet hours from 22:00–07:00, who really follows that? If you don’t mind sleeping with earplugs, then this room might be fine for you. We booked a twin room. The space was large enough, but the location was very inconvenient. It was at the far end of the property, requiring me to go downstairs and then upstairs again. What frustrated me was that when I arrived (around 21:30 for late check-in), I saw at least three identical rooms available near the entrance, but I was still assigned the farthest one. Cleanliness was also very poor. I found toilet paper in my toilet upon arrival, and the chair in the room was covered with dust. All in all, I would not stay here again, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Location was in a place accessible to the city centre however the room had a weird smell and the toilet blinds did not work. The worst part was the smell from it. The walls are paper thin and we could hear our neighbour showering or having a conversation.
