Top Whakapapa Ski Area Hotel Reviews

The Park Hotel Ruapehu

The Park Hotel Ruapehu

2/10 Terrible
"The room was clean and adequate for a night’s sleep after a long day of hiking. However, we were very dissatisfied and disappointed that the spa pools closed at 8 pm and only reopened at 10 am. We arrived around that time, and we specifically booked this place because of its amenities. The restaurant also closed at 8 pm, and breakfast was only available until 9:30 am. This meant we were unable to use the hot pools during our stay, and we could not have breakfast there either. I would not recommend this hotel, nor would I stay there again. Considering it was a Saturday night, I expected longer opening hours."
