Great place for a cheaper option. The doors were very noisy on the first night as they closed at each time someone went though but that would be the only downside of the property. Room was very clean and modern

Haka House was my First Choice for staying in Rotorua as is it conveniently located close to the town centre. Parking is free at the park close by or in front of the house except from 9-5 Mo-Fr 9-1(?) Asa, Sunday free Shame that some of the residents are not too tidy and seem to be unable to differentiate between the various garbage bins! The kitchen is well equipped and there is enough space for storing food. The boiling water reservoirs are great!

Annoyed with myself for thinking i got a black friday deal, when in fact it wasnt and it was advertised in USD instead oF fNZ. It was a non refundable one so we committed to it. The place is warm in summer, so on hot days you may have to rent a fan. Otherwise good.

Mai

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and well-cleaned, so I was able to stay comfortably! It was also convenient to be able to charge my phone in bed! However, my room was on the first floor, so the noise of people going up and down the stairs and the voices of people checking out early in the morning made it difficult to sleep, which was unfortunate. Other than that it was really great！

Disliked: Amenities
The accomodation was too noicy. We were on a King suite by the stairs. People are running up and down the stairs and the corridor. Rooms are not sound proof at all. I don’t recommend this place for anybody who’s looking forward to sleepin on a vacation.

No frills
Very small room but comfortable. Very noisy when people were congregating in the courtyard or by the gate (which kept banging loudly all night when people came through, which wasn't much fun). Unpleasant smell came up from the shower after using. Free parking outside the hostel was very handy.

It was comfortable and clean. But it was lacking. No fan or AC in the room and there was no soap to bathe. The check in process was fine, but really no soap was surprising. Also the staff could be friendlier.

Good value for money, bunk beds made private since they have thick curtains. Place was being remodeled so common areas were usable but smelled of paint fumes. Front staff / customer service was quite disappointing - for a hostel, they werent friendly or approachable at all.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room and facilities had everything for our 3-day stay. conveniently located in the city, with good street parking and a quiet street. Late check-in was easy with the lockbox. The room was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were firm and comfortable. The little fridge, electric jug and crockery were appreciated. A few little issues. The room was very tight and small, with no room for luggage, the large unit with the hangers needed to be shelves for storage. Was weird with the single beds together, instead of a queen bed. Stayed for 3 nights with no change of towel service. The access security metal gate is heavy to open carrying gear, noisy opening and closing with people coming and going in the night when you are trying to sleep with the window open to cool a very hot room.

Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer im Nebengebäude, leider war dort zur gleichen Zeit auch eine Schulklasse untergebracht, die sehr laut waren. Wir hatten das Zimmer direkt neben der Küche und konnten jedes Wort hören. Abends war es dann jedoch sehr ruhig, auch die Straße hat man nicht gehört. Auf dem Weg ins Nebengebäude muss man die Koffer leider ein paar Stufen rauf und runter tragen. Das Zimmer selbst ist in einem super Zustand und wie auf den Bilder abgebildet. Es ist schön und modern eingerichtet und lädt zum Aufhalten ein. Das Badezimmer wurde leider von den vorigen Gästen nicht gut behandelt. An der Wand gab es Flecken vom Kondenswasser und der Boden war sehr abgenutzt. Das Seeufer und einige Restaurants können gut zu Fuß erreicht werden. Alles in allem kann man hier gut übernachten.
