Paul is a very friendly and helpful host with a wealth of local information. The units were quiet, clean, tidy and a good size, with kitchen facilities, sofa and WIFI. Great value for the location, amenities and condition. We look forward to our next stay at the Studio Motel.

We enjoyed our stay at this little motel in Rotorua. It's on the main road into the central city, and about 5 minute drive from the town centre. The motel is down a hill from the road, so it's quiet. It's under new management, and the new owner and his wife are really lovely people. An ex-travel agent, Mr Paul... More

My partner (now husband) and I stayed at the Studio Motel in Rotorua on our trip there and the service was great. The Manager, noticing we were doing laundry, then provided us with a basket for use, also refreshing our towels daily even tho we didnt leave them out in the allocated area, more than happy to help with anything...

A bit worn down, but clean and absolutely fine for a few nights. Stove, micro wave, refridgerator, water boiler. Other wise, the kitchen is very under-equipped, especially regarding cutlery. Basically there is two forks, two spoons and tho knives. No chopping board, no big knives, nothing to use in the frying pan etc. The young staff is very sweet and... More

One small soap and no shampoo, and no milk for a whole weekend for two was disappointing. And there was no light over the bathroom mirror. The gardens which had been a feature on our previous five or six stays now look untouched. The unit was clean, but curtains were showing their age. The bed was comfortable and traffic noise... More

The ads & brochure say it is a "tranquil oasis" & quiet. This could not be further from the truth! Situated right on a main road, the units are very noisy - thank goodness for ear plugs! The service was generally offhand & uninterested. The bed was rock hard & I slept on the couch which was more comfortable. Thank... More
