The room was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. The staff were friendly and always willing to help. There wasn't a lot of parking, but the bathroom and room were both very clean. It's close to tourist attractions and very convenient for getting around.

We had a terrible experience with Silver Fern Lodge Taupō. The property is noticeably run‑down, and the room we were given was not in a condition suitable for guests, particularly at $240 per night. We chose to leave the same afternoon and are still working through the refund process. The “Guest Lounge” was closed, with a paper sign indicating it was being used as a dorm and “for special guests only,” which contributed to an overall impression more in line with a budget hostel than a motel. The general presentation, maintenance, and cleanliness of the property — both inside and out — were well below an acceptable standard. We relocated to Wairakei Resort Taupō for $280 per night and found it to be excellent. Based on this experience, we do not intend to stay at a VR Hotels property again.

Great location—right in the city, convenient for getting around, with everything you need nearby. The room was spacious and stayed warm during winter. Towels, full bathroom amenities, plus tea and milk were provided.

The room is good but the toilet looks old and there’s no cutlery and plate available in the room.

Located in a quiet area, roughly 10 minutes walk from the Tourist Centre. The reception is always empty and only open a few hours during the day. We couldn’t drop off our suitcases as we arrive at 10am. I wrote to the hotel in advance enquiring about it in advance ibut no response
