Good hotel, reasonable pricing, kind staff! Nice hot tub however seems like jets weren’t working. Could do better on cleaning the bathroom, small pieces of hair on the bathroom floor and filthy soap dispensers with toothpaste splatters on the mirror. Bed was nice and clean though

Great place to stay a bit out of town but is nice as it has all you need. Great games room for kids as well as nice heated pool and spa. Food was great and daughter loved the chocolate fountain in restaurant for desert. Would recommend this hotel. Rooms were lovely and aircon was on a heat which was super nice at the time as was a bit cool.

Great stay

Our stay was amazing. We went fishing in the Ngongotaha River and stay at the Rydges Hotel, which was not far away from where we wanted to fish.

The staff were very reserved and NOT helpful to their patrons. Even not able to provide minimum facilities like tissues on the site. Rooms are not very air-conditioned. For the same price, we can get far better rooms in a convenient location.

The hotel is on a quiet residential street near a thermal reserve, so the smell of sulphur can be a bit overwhelming at times. Hotel is quite lovely.

Needs a refresh.

Check in was excellent, very warm welcome. . Loads of parking and a very friendly receptionist found me a room so I could check in early. Room was very dated and needs redecorating. Broken tiles in bathroom, terrible tap, old worn carpet and lots of damage to walls. Bed was clean and comfortable. My room on third floor was above the loading dock so at 11pm I was woken by wheelie bins being loaded, then from around 6am, noisy trucks were arriving with load reversing signals and general unloading noises. Walls in room were very thin, as I could near a baby crying and general snoring. A minor hiccup on check out as the receptionist tried to charge me for someone else’s room, but she apologised and it was resolved within 5 mins.
