It's not expensive, so don't expect 5 start... but it also doesn't have a reception open in until well after lunch. Which isn't helpful if you do something silly like us and leave a key in the room and can't get back in.
The rooms are tired and the place needs a bit of renovation work. TV works but doesn't connect to internet (no netflix, even though it's an option) and it sits on an old TV cabinet designed for a 90's tv.
If you just need a night, in a clean functional room and don't care for a TV then it's fine for the price. Just keep expectations in check.

The accommodation offered good pricing and a convenient location, which were definite positives. The beds were comfortable, the sheets were clean, and the shared kitchen facilities were generally fine to use. However, the overall cleanliness of the room was below expectations. Under the bed appeared not to have been cleaned for quite some time, and there was noticeable mould in the bathroom. In addition, the ovens in the kitchen were not working during our stay. Another downside was the lack of visible staff throughout the two nights we stayed, and our room was not serviced at all during that time.

Staff attitude was absolutely poor. I arrived at the front desk and the staff just picked up the phone, keeping me waiting. I was first to arrive then I should be serviced first not the phone. Then he had the nerve to tell me that I don’t have the patience for 2min to take the phone call. Not good service.
Next there is a sign outside the kitchen saying access hours 8am to 10pm, else they will be fined. This does not make sense. I had to warm up my food at 11pm not knowing this sign was there. But I didn’t go in, due sign about fine. Absolutely ridiculous. No empathy for customers.
I think the customer service is lacking in this establishment.

For the price this was a great place to stay- bang for buck.
Staff were over accomodating and super friendly. I travelled with mum and forgot to ask for the sofa bed too. We asked for sheets to make it upourselves but they insisted that they make it up for us and did.
Great spot, close access to everthing but in a quieter part of town. Gave the real holiday vibe.

We got the 3 bedroom family suite. The only good thing was the beds were ok. The oven doesn't go, there were no baking tins, only one stovetop pan. There were no cloths or washing liquid, a overused washing brush and we had to ask for toilet paper after we arrived. For the price nearly $300 for the night, we expected the in-room amenities to be available. The main bedroom had water leaking all through the wardrobe on the carpet, from the shower on the other side of the wall. Will not stay again with our family, we had to \"improvise\" far too much even just for one night.

The carpet from the entry way to our room was in desperate need of a vacuum. All the walls had scuff marks.

Room smelled bad ... No proper duvet with a cover...instead just blankets and a sheet? Bedside table and lamp very dusty. Nowhere to hang wet towels in the bedroom. Kitchen closed until 7.45 am far too late. Dishes are dirty. . Shower hooks broken cant hang clothes or shampoo. General sense of uncleanliness e.g., surfaces walls etc. No expectations around after hours quiet time - other guests were loud all night and there were no signs about when they should be quiet or a number for us to call and complain. Overall not a relaxing stay wouldnt recommend

No one at reception between 10 and 2. Difficult for arriving or departing. If a staff member can be found luggage can be stored in the downstairs dormatory room. Rooms large with airconditioning, balconies out onto residential streets, tea and coffee making, good wifi, communal kitchen had boxes saying creamer but nothing in them, plenty of power sockets, was possible to persuade staff to order taxis etc but took effort. Seemed to have plenty of parking, easy to find on a major road a few hundred meters from the park in one direction and the beech in another with various nearby shops. Can be very expensive if there's an event in town, service ought to be better when that happens.

Actually this property although it had a big kitchen and dinning area I don’t think it did dinners or breakfast. We thought there was breakfast on the Saturday morning from 8am but sadly l was wrong!!!! If only l read the sign Silver Fern Lodge that would have explained everything.

The price we paid for the night didn’t warrant the $263.40 for one night.

We won’t be staying here again.

After booking originally and getting a not welcoming email with untrustworthy policies ive never seen b4 in near 1000 hotels, the boss of vr hotels kindly rang me and asked me to keep the booking and stay. This showed corporate management want a higher standard from their staff. So i stayed and it was a good fize room with balcony fir lake views. Only issue was toilet rolls had not been replaced so very little was on 1 roll with nothon other and no replacement rolls in the bathroom.

When we arrived we were told that builders would be fixing the men’s bathroom and would be finished by 6:30pm, they were still fixing it at 11:30pm, very loudly opposite our room.
Not very professional to keep working until nearly 12am.
Had a very poor sleep because of this and had to drive very early In the morning.

The hotel was in good condition, however the heat pump didn't work, and one of the other visitors was playing a stereo with infuriating deep base late at night.

Although the bedroom and bathroom was clean and comfortable for a 2 night stay, the shared kitchen was dirty and not enough cups and spoons etc.

Although they have a sign that says clean your own dishes - this does not happen! (The sign was dirty)

I was looking for dishwasher tablets (box was empty ) in a cupboard under the sink and found dirty dishes plus the shelves were broken and dirty. Taps are broken bins not emptied. Not a pleasant space!

Good value

Large clean and comfortable room. Close to shops and eateries. The only complaint is there isn’t someone on site when you’d expect them to be and nobody answers the phone if you need help.

Bed was soft, room was quiet. If I'm ever in Taupō longer than 1 night, I'll try and stay here again.

Positives: Nice shower, friendly staff, clean and quite modern, reasonably priced.
Things that could be worked on: Not enough on-site parking, flimsy bedding, heat pump didn’t generate enough heat, there was a heater but it was too small for the room.
