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 The bed was super comfy, the room decor was little outdated but everything was super clean.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.

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.

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.

The hotel is old, but clean and tidy. Excellent breakfast, warm pool, good bar. It's a bit jarring from passing trucks, but not too bad. Very close to the geysers, a 10-minute walk.

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.

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~
