Top Taupō Hotel Reviews

Grandeur Thermal Spa Resort

Grandeur Thermal Spa Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We booked this place as an overnight stop halfway to our destination after a long drive. Due to unexpected traffic, we arrived around 6pm, but we had been in touch with the receptionist, who was very accommodating and kindly waited for us. Check-in was smooth and easy. The bedroom was clean, tidy, bright, and warm, with high ceilings. The heater had already been turned on before our arrival, which was a lovely touch. The pure cotton linens were very comfortable, and we had a great night's sleep. We really appreciated the green tea and coffee. I especially loved having green tea before bed! The only thing missing was perhaps some hot chocolate for our little boy. There is a microwave to reheat food and a refrigerator for leftovers, which is very convenient for travellers. The shower is small but perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. It's a very budget-friendly place and a great option for travellers looking for somewhere clean and comfortable to rest. There are also free geothermal hot pools and paid hot pools nearby. The only downside was the lack of regular TV signal unless connected to the internet, although the Wi-Fi was good. This wasn't a major issue for us, especially for a short stay. Overall, we had a comfortable stay and would definitely recommend this place for a budget-friendly overnight stop."
