BUG Review
Blarneys Rock is a small, 40-bed hostel in the city centre next door to a large Irish pub. There are several internet PCs and a small reception area on the ground floor; the accommodation and facilities – a cosy TV lounge, a small kitchen and dining area – are upstairs. Rooms are named for Irish towns, and there’s a leprechaun-and-shamrocks theme to the painted walls. Blarneys Rock doesn’t compete in terms of facilities with most of the Rotorua hostels, though it does have a friendly, personal touch to it that some might enjoy.
Price Dorm bed $19-23 Single room $45 Double room $50 Prices are in New Zealand dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.
