As always a chance to relax and enjoy the facilities.
Pros:

The hotel is beside lake Taupo with a good restaurant, pool, gym and a spa. Also the staff are very welcoming. Located just a few minutes away from the shops. I particularly like the view of the mountains across the lake and also the lake walkway.

Cons:

Pros:

Bed was a little soft but that’s just me. Marvellous view of the lake and good parking

Cons:

The only fault was personal preference I.e the mattress was a bit soft for me. I thought the breakfast was a bit expensive too. Everything else was fab

Pros:

Location is sublime, lake view rooms must be stunning. Room is very comfortable and bed is huge. All the amenities are in the room. Breakfast is very good. There is free parking.

Cons:

Special coffees like cappuccinos are not included in the breakfast and need to be paid separately. Laundry room is extremely dirty and not well kept. There should be laundry service. Dinner could have more options too.

Twin room with a veiw
Pros:

The veiw was lovely, I did pay extra for it. The beds were comfortable and clean. There was an ac and a ceiling fan.

Cons:

The floors were dirty and stained. There were no knives, forks or bowls in the kitchenette I paid extra for. The hot pool was also closed which I was not told about. I did pay quite a lot to stay at this hotel for it to be a bit of a let down. The shower was also quite small.

ממליצים בחום!
Pros:

מלון מושקע ונקי. אכלנו במסעדה שלו ארוחת ערב (בתשלום) שהייתה טעימה ונעימה מאוד! רחצנו בבריכה החמימה והנהדרת, עשינו אימון בחדר הכושר. מלון ממש על שפת האגם!

Cons:

מקלחת מיושנת.

A very nice location. It was a relaxing room.
Pros:

The bed was amazing and everything else was adequate but it was a cheaper room with no deck

Cons:

I would have liked the pool to be warmer, that was disappointing and no seating around the edge for relaxing. Also there is an area on the lakefront which could have sand trucked in for sitting on the beach. Also the bathroom door would not close as it was ill fitting. Our room was 820.

A lovely stay in a great location with beautiful lake views, and we’d happily return!
Pros:

We stayed for one night at the Millennium Hotel Taupō and really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, with a lovely view of the lake from our balcony. Overall, a great place to stay and we would happily stay again!

Cons:

While we were having dinner, the fire alarm went off, and unfortunately, none of the hotel staff on site seemed to know what to do. No one instructed guests to evacuate or head to the designated assembly point, which was quite concerning. Some additional staff training on emergency procedures would definitely be worthwhile, as I would hate to think what might happen if there was an actual fire.
