Our ferry was delayed so wasnt going to make it back to Taupo in time to check in by 8pm. Rang reception to let them know and they had our room ready with the heater on for us when we got there at 9.30pm. We were really impressed.

Clean motel with helpful, friendly staff. Room was quite dated though and the heating/ventilation could do with upgrading.

Contactless check-in and out felt impersonal and distant...but I guess that was the purpose. KTM is getting dated and tired, but nice to have a soak.

An old favourite
A budget motel that has become a bit aged, but still good value for money. We really enjoy the private mineral pool. It is located handily to the lake and to the township.

Staff at check-in was fab. Down to Earth and excellent customer service. Nice mineral pools. Rooms better then reviews. Downfall is housekeeping only provide a clean towels. Don’t take the rubbish etc, don’t service the rooms just pop a towel on the bed. Motel kitty is a absolute cutie and a bonus though :)

Room was in poor condition needing a ceiling paint and wall touch up. The bench had the top falling off and lights needed replacing. The TV would only work on 1 channel.

6/10 Good

We have stayed at this hotel in the past and have always found it clean, tidying and inviting. Sadly, this wasn’t the case this time. The bed had strands of hair through it, the linen was quite worn and the general look of the room was quite tired. I hope it gets a splash of refresh before Summer kicks in. It’s in a prime spot.
