CitySide Hotel Tauranga

10/10 Excellent
"Exceptional stay – highly recommend! We had an exceptional stay at this motel and couldn’t fault it. The location was incredibly convenient, with shops, restaurants and the movies all close by. The room was extremely clean, comfortable and wonderfully quiet. The host was lovely, friendly and welcoming, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into all the little details to make the stay as enjoyable as possible. There was also plenty of parking with a JetSki in tow, which was a bonus. Everything exceeded our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, quiet and well-located place to stay!"

"2 bedroom unit was perfect for our family of 4. Beds super comfortable. Serviced daily with new coffee pods and towels for pool/shower. Friendly reception staff. Kids loved the daily riddles, jumping on bouncy pillow, swimming in the pool (which was perfect temperature for young and old), visiting Beach Road deli or Surf Shack for good coffee and food. Thanks for allowing us to make memories with the 3 other groups of family we stayed with."
