Hotels met bar in Waikato, New Zealand

Check in was smooth and quick but changed room twice to get everything right. Our first room had urine stains on the toilet, which means this room was not properly cleaned up. That was terribly disgusting to find these spots. Also, the smart TV in the first room didn't work. Our second room was find but has no bathtub as requested. Changed to the third room and finally get the okay one with great AC, working TV and cleanness. It was our first time stayed in a 5-star hotel in NZ and was surprised the standard is quite low compared to the other 5 stars in Asia. Has small heated pool accommodating 6 people max. Swimming pool and sauna were fine but steam room didn't work. Service okay and great breakfast. Will consider the other place next time.

I spent a night at Adventure Taupō Hostel and I can say it's one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The place is brand new, and it shows everywhere: everything is ultra-modern, spotless, and perfectly maintained. The welcome was excellent, with very friendly, smiling staff who were always ready to help. The kitchen is simply exceptional. It's probably the best-equipped backpacker kitchen I've ever seen: very clean, huge, with tons of storage space and all the necessary equipment. The common room is also very pleasant, perfect for meeting and chatting with other travelers. The rooms are modern and very well designed, with USB-C ports readily available for charging devices, a much-appreciated detail. Frankly, it's flawless. For the price, it's hard to beat. I 100% recommend this hostel to anyone passing through Taupō.

We loved everything about the stay. The owner/manager served us enthusiastically. The food is consistently of a high standard and a very relaxed and pleasant dining experience. The staff go above and beyond cheerfully. Since finding Hidden Lake Hotel, we have not stayed anywhere else when travelling from Auckland to Taupo via Cambridge and intend to spend more time there in future.

Was a good one... It was a pleasant trip I had. The location of the hotel was good too. Super friendly staff and good hotel. Will definitely come back again. Breakfast was really impressive. The only sad thing would be.... Super limited parking

There was no shower gel upon arrival, rather than housekeeping delivering it to our villa, we were asked to walk around 500 to 800m to collect it from reception. The other single bed was a trundler bed which was underneth. There should have been signs, we only discovered on the 2nd night so spent 1 night sleeping in the sofa. The villa had a kitchen and laundry facilities so was pretty convenient for our stay.

Great place to sleep to go coromandel and enjoy hot water beach . Only place with many amenities though. Otherwise, the stay was great and we enjoyed our trip . Thank you

We stayed one night en route to Hobbiton and liked it so much that we stayed another 2 later in our trip. Great location, and Cambridge is a relatively easy base to get to other places from. Beautiful decor throughout, nice finishings and really peaceful. It was very busy during our stay (around Christmas/NY) so a little wait for food/drinks but that’s to be expected. We had positive interactions with all hotel and restaurant staff. My only feedback is that the switches in the rooms have blue lights on them, which, for people that like a black-out room, can disrupt sleep. Hopefully an easy fix!

We loved the room which came with a balcony overlooking the beautiful lake Taupo. The grotto and the heated pool were amazing and provided us with a very relaxing stay.

Front staff very helpful, however first bed cover sheet was stained and the replacement sheet had a rip in it. Dinner food was small, overpriced and not tasty however breakfast there was alot of choice and yummy fresh food. Third party service neglected to pass on pet details so was an unexpected added cost however was very convenient to be able to have my pet there. Was a very warm and comfy room, thank you.

Location is central and great. Parking is a bit of luck as reserved places are very limited, but street parking is abundant in the area. No real complaints, but the facility is quite dated. The shower booth reflected this, for example, with a leaky swivel head the sprayed water unevenly. Good for short term stays where you need a central base. Probably not my first choice if you want to lounge around in your room.
