Had a last minute stay at VR hamilton. The reception was bare but welcoming. We had little to no expectations, so was pleasantly surprised given the age of the hotel.
Pros:
1. Price was reasonable given the location and private amenities at 70-90NZD a night.
2. Small hotel bar fridge
3. Large and clean bathroom and bed
Cons:
1.very loud next to main city street, and thin walls
2. Musty due to the age of the hotel
3. Lukewarm showers

I arrived in Taupo on the morning Air NZ flight from AKL, upon arrival at the Chevron Motel, 4 hours before the published check-in time, I had planned to ask to have my luggage stored while I go about other business. The receptionist kindly asked me to wait while she checked to see if my room was ready, and if so, I could have my room right away. Lucky for me it was, I was very pleased with the initiative and flexibility offered. My booking included a living area with dining table, kitchen, sofa, spare single bed, a separate bedroom, and a dedicated parking space. My stay of 5 nights was very comfortable, and I will definitely use this motel again on my next visit. I would like to offer a few suggestions for improvements, first - a split type AC unit was present in the living room, it would be great if there could be a second unit installed in the bedroom. Internet connectivity, available 24/7, while adequate, did have limited bandwidth affecting video streaming from Netflix/YouTube etc. Lastly, it would be great if the TV provided in the living room had a larger screen. In summary, I was very pleased with my stay at the Chevron Motel, the room offered great value for money, and I was completely relaxed and comfortable during my stay.

I had a great stay at this hostel, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The common areas were clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere for meeting other travelers. I ended up making some new friends here, and we realized we were planning to visit many of the same places, so we explored together. That really made my trip even more memorable.
The hostel itself was very clean and well-maintained, and I was impressed with the overall experience.
The only issue I encountered was with late check-in. My bus arrived much later than expected, so I wasn't able to arrange an after-hours check-in in advance. I understand that the instructions were provided by email, but I did have a moment of panic because I was asked to call the hostel's phone number. Since I was traveling with only an eSIM and didn't have a New Zealand phone number, I wasn't able to make the call. It would be great if there were an alternative way to contact the hostel for late check-ins, such as WhatsApp, email, or an online messaging system.
Overall, this hostel went beyond my expectations, and I'd definitely recommend it to other travelers.

We stayed as a family of 4 the rooms were emaculately clean, the beds were beautiful and very generous sizing, local milk in beauitful glass bottles connecting the local rural communiy was a great touch.All appliances were new and whisper quiet, which meant we all slept very well. Glenys gave us plenty of advice on where to take the children, local hot pools were a hit and the domain next door with playground gardens and basket ball courts for free family fun, the exploding geyser was great entertainment, very handy location to all the walking tracks up mt Te aroha, supermarket and shops easy walking distance from motel.
The service was second to none.
Rod and Glenys were amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make sure we all had the best stay.
We had car trouble, and they opened their garage and time to help us get back on the road forever grateful.Truely, beautiful caring people.
We will be back again soon and have told all our friends and family of our new favorite motel

Posted on Sep 11, 2026|KING HILTON LAKE VIEW PLUS
333lA huge thank you to Ms. Mimy at the front desk! We encountered her during both check-in and check-out, and her service was warm and kind. We had booked a lake-view room, expecting a beautiful and wonderful holiday, but it turned out to be a ground-floor room, not a true lake-view at all. She upgraded us to a genuine lake-view room at no extra charge, and even helped us pick the best unit and floor. She also provided an extra bed (which we had originally booked). If it weren't for our pre-booked flights, we would have loved to extend our stay. When we checked out, she learned we were still in New Zealand and kindly gave us two bottles of honey, which was very thoughtful. We'll definitely stay here again next time, and we'd love to stay in the same room. The hotel parking is excellent, with an outdoor lot within the premises. Breakfast was plentiful. There's a small garden inside the hotel that's a must-see, and you can also find geothermal features. To the left of the hotel entrance, there's a McDonald's and a gas station.

Posted on Jul 22, 2026|Standard Triple Cabin Room With Shared BathRoom
Guest UserIt's a small cabin, and the room itself is tiny; I struggled to even open my 29-inch suitcase. It felt more like a student dorm. The bathroom and shower are separate, requiring a walk outside to get to the shared kitchen, bathroom, and shower facilities. This could be quite inconvenient if it's raining or cold. You can park right outside your door, but you can hear noise from the neighboring rooms. The staff kindly provided free plates and pots for cooking in the kitchen, but you do need to ask for them. The bathroom and shower facilities also require a password to enter.

The accommodation was modern, immaculately clean, and provided a high level of comfort. The cleaning staff excelled, delivering service that surpassed expectations. Overall, the experience was positive. However, it would have been beneficial to be informed in advance that the check-in office is located offsite, requiring approximately a 4 minute drive from the main premises. This information would have streamlined the arrival process.
