We are happy with Arawa. The rooms are spacious, water is hot, room is warm. The only suggestion is to offer nicer cafe ambience and buffet breakfast. Normally, guests will go out after breakfast. So, don't worry about lunch and dinner. Focus on the buffet breakfast. God bless Arawa. Don't give up!

Hotel room was very spacious and clean, but hotel is in serious need of a refurb. All of the furniture and appliances are very old/dated. With that being said the beds were very comfortable and it was nice having a small private deck. Room service was very delayed. But staff were friendly. Good value for money overall.

Great location, and friendly & helpful staff. The room was really spacious & beds super comfy! However, the room could do with a deep clean & general dusting. The spa pool hadn’t been cleaned in a while & the luggage shelf was uncleaned too. Other than that, a great option for a weekend in Rotorua if you want to stay centrally, with a parking option.
