Manhattan Motel, hotel in Rotorua

Located in the heart of Rotorua, Manhattan Motel offers spacious self-catering units with full cooking facilities, satellite TV and free WiFi access.

We originally booked the Manhattan Motel, but we were moved to the other motel, the Kohwai Motel, which I think is the same owner. It was cozy enough, with complete cooking stuff in the kitchen. They even have a spa pool in our unit, but we weren't able to use it because we were mostly tired when we came back from daytrip. Personally as a woman I would just suggest a big mirror as they have a small mirror in the bathroom and if you're small petite like me, you will barely see your face 😁 but apart from that, overall it was a comfortable accommodation, near to everything and the staff are helpful enough. Highly recommended it.

    Good location not too far from the city centre. Very friendly staff and several friendly cats around aswell. The room was clean and tidy with plenty of space and surfaces to spread out. Spacious bathroom. Loved the private access outdoor spa bath that was tucked away at the rear end of the hotel and very quiet. Kitchenette is reasonably well equipped and things like tea, coffee and hot chocolate are refilled daily. Large selection of channels on the TV
