BUG review
This big old hotel is set right on Lake Rotorua and clearly has history, but it makes for a very strange hostel. The house is massive and sprawling with a kind of spooky and deserted feeling. The bar downstairs has a local, rough-and-ready vibe to it. Dorm accommodation is in three- or four-share rooms with single beds and bedspreads straight out of the 1960s. There are limited kitchen facilities and a few internet PCs for use. On the plus side, a big veranda out back has terrific views of the lake; otherwise, it’s tough to shake the odd vibe of the place.
About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.
We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.
