Arawa Park Hotel, Independent Collection by Evt, an EVT Hotel

Room was big and spacious, slightly dated decor. Great location central and easy to get around. Gym was good but air con not strong. Fire alarm woke us at 2am where everyone evacuated for an hour. Not the hotel's fault but signs were not clear where the fire exits were. The entry from car park is ground floor so could be quite noisy if you had a room on that level.

Right next to a horse race course Very spacious room with a nice Tub

I recently stayed at Arawa Park Hotel and had a pleasant experience overall. The location is excellent—close to Rotorua’s main attractions and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The room was spacious, clean, and featured large, comfortable beds. Considering the affordable price, it’s excellent value for money and ideal for anyone looking for a comfortable, budget-friendly stay. The staff were attentive and friendly, even offering to heat up meals for guests—a thoughtful touch that added convenience. I also appreciated their focus on security, as they took note of my car’s plate number during check-in. I noticed that the hotel has washing machines and laundry facilities, which could be very useful for longer stays. While I didn’t ask if these are free for guests to use, it’s great to see such amenities available. Clearer information about their usage would be helpful. One downside was the lack of adaptors in the room, which made charging devices a little inconvenient. Adding adaptors or universal outlets would greatly improve the overall experience for guests. Overall, Arawa Park Hotel is an excellent choice for a comfortable and affordable stay in Rotorua. With minor tweaks like providing adaptors and clearer communication about amenities, it could be even better.

Lovely hotel and staff, good breakfast and well accommodating for family's with kids. Very comfy beds and pillows. Rooms spacious and warm, lovely facilities great value and only one small criticism was the internet speed was slow when using it through TV to watch netflix/disney

We booked it at the last minutes. The hotel location is very good with a big car park. We will definitely stay again.

The room is spacious and our little one loved it as he can run and play inside. Cot is free for 2yrs and below. Will recommend this hotel especially for families with kids.
