Best Western Braeside Resort

Great stay! Spacious rooms and the private spa was a treat! Only thing I would change is being provided fresh milk rather than a sachet of powder. Very comfortable and accommodating. Would recommend. Great location for families.Rooms: 4/5

Don’t get me wrong, this hotel is great! The hotel staff was nice and really friendly. The beds were comfortable and helped me get a great night sleep. On the contrary, the bathrooms are a little small. I would recommend staying if you are looking to find a place to stay to tour Rotorua!

Absolutely loved staying at this place, we loved the private spa with a enclosed space. That staff are lovely people and so kind and happy to fullfil any needs we had. The room was spacious and we had a fully stocked kitchenette including full cooking facilities and tea and coffee needs, they also gave us milk on arrival. Skyline is just across the road and so is Rotorua monigolf. Eat St is a 5 minute drive and so is the shopping mall. Food & drinks: They offer a morning breakfast delivered to your room which was delicious and at a good price.

Really good motel, large comfortable rooms with a really nice hot private spa. Close to the major tourist attractions but far enough from the main road as well. Really good value for money.Rooms: 5/5

Location provides easy access to all the attractions in Rotorua and the surrounding area. Rooms are functional, but the bathroom of the unit we stayed in had one of the smallest wash basins ever. Still did the job though. Far enough away from the bad egg smell so this will not be a problem.Rooms: 4/5

The ratings given for this motel are grossly inaccurate. It’s very basic and straight out of the 1980’s. This wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t charging the same as 5 star hotels in Auckland and Wellington, we know because we paid the same $275 per night at Braeside as we paid at 5 star hotels in Auckland and Wellington. There are far better places to stay in Rotorua.

I had high expectations for this motel, based on the reviews and photos. I was highly let down, the motel was absolutely filthy!!!! Dust everywhere, cups and cutlery weren’t washed properly. We booked for 4 nights, and had to ask for our room to be serviced cause we came back to the motel and all the dishes were still on the bench, nothing had been done our complimentary coffee wasn’t even replaced only thing they had done was give us fresh clean towels… not even the beds were made. It’s run down, the play room has a pool table, in a tiny little run down shed, we couldn’t even swim cause no one informed us there would be builders there the whole time. Highly disappointed, trust me do not book based on these reviews.

Lots of space in our room catering for 4 adults. Location of electrical sockets was a good brain teaser!! Restaurant on site, pool and golf. Family oriented motel!!Rooms: 3/5

Old. The water in the shower just went from warm to cold by itself. Website's pictures are much nicer than what it actually is. We didn't enjoy the stay.Rooms: 2/5

Clean and comfortable, receptionist is friendly and helpful, location is perfect convenient. Have hot pool, playground. It’s a highly recommend accommodation
