Excellent location. We stayed at the largest room 211 king size bed and widest view. Highly recommended.
International Staff are nice and helpful.
The Skotel brought me back in the 80's with its design and deco.

This is the perfect spot for exploring Whakapapa on foot and heading up the mountain. The service is always friendly and helpful, and the stunning views and comfortable beds come at a great price. It’s super cosy and warm, making it an inviting place to stay💕
I’ve been returning every time I’m in NZ for the past 10 years and highly recommend it! It has a charming old-school vibe - yes, it’s a bit dated, but that’s part of its quaint and cute appeal.

Hotel was fine, room as a good size for 3 ppl, a little outdated and the shower needs to be fixed, also not enough lighting.

A very tiny room, had our own bathroom, the food there was out of this world by the receptionist didn't seem the friendliest person

All staff were extra helpful . Their knowledge of the area and willingness to share was great. Nothing was too much trouble. The kitchen facilities were good as was access to walks in the area.
