Sehr schön am See sowie zentrumsnah gelegenes Hotel
Pros:

Sehr gute Lage; komfortables Zimmer mit Blick auf den See; sehr freundliches und vor allem hilfsbereites Personal; sehr gutes Frühstück und Abendessen.

Cons:

Sehr hellhöriges Zimmer sowie Straßenlärm; trotz Buchung war an zwei von vier Tagen kein Frühstück erhältlich (allerdings wurde der Preis durch einen Gutschein zurückerstattet).

Great location, great on site restaurant, gracious and helpful reception and restaurant staff Happy staff overall
Pros:

Convenient parking and within walking distant to Taupo shopping centre, and lake side walks.

Cons:

Disappointed with our room location. The noise from a locked location beside Room 40 continued at intervals throughout the night, disturbing normal sleep patterns. Location of this room was not peaceful. Hair Shampoo was supplied however no Hair Conditioner. Also bathroom dispensers provided very minimal product so needed to be pumped many times to get sufficient bathroom product.
In this economic climate I understand this reduces output and limits the need to top up dispensers however Taupo is an extremely popular tourist location so perhaps we are not doing ourselves any favours by scrimping on product supply.

Friendly and efficient staff. Location awesome.
Pros:

Great walking distance to town. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Cons:

Quite a basic room for the money, but we did opt for a room with a view.
The restaurant could be open longer, particularly during long weekends/holiday periods. We popped in for a drink and dessert just before 9 but was told the bar and restaurant were closed.
