Close to the main CBD area
Noisy at night with screaming and yelling outside and the room had a funny smell to it even when aired out.

We had a fantastic time at the Astray Motel. The room was spotlessly clean, matched the description perfectly, and featured a very comfortable bed, a well-equipped kitchen, and a large shower. The central location is ideal for day trips around Rotorua. On top of that, reliable Wi-Fi, plenty of parking, and handy laundry facilities made our stay super easy. A huge thank you to the incredibly sweet and helpful owner. Highly recommended!
