We have stayed at this Hilton several times as our go to in Taupo and this experience was disappointing. Whomever is managing the property is letting it down we think. Check in not till 4pm, still servicing our room at 6.45pm the following night, we had had a long day and just wanted to relax, overcharged for parking initially, decor in rooms is tired and needs updating. For the price this hotel charges it needs to invest in the experience. Still has comfortable beds which is a plus. We will be trying somewhere else next time.

Our room had seen better days. There were numerous scratches, dents, marks on the walls. The room was very large but had very little furniture which was in poor condition. There was no shelving or drawersfor clothes. The common area to elevator was also in less than ideal condition. It would have been nice if there was somewhere to purchase snacks in the hotel as it was not near any shops.

We absolutely loved this hotel - my kids want to move here now. Friendly staff, beautiful property (rooms, common areas looked like they should be in a magazine), lovely and fun pool and hot tub area that a lot of people enjoyed of all ages, large rooms with plenty of space to relax, fantastic breakfast buffet (fresh honey, lots of egg / meat / baked sweets options, juices, fresh fruit galore, etc.) It's at the top of a hill so not right in Taupo, but that worked out even better - it's very quiet and just a short drive or brisk walk down to town. Plenty of free parking at the hotel. Views in all directions were very nice (we had a view of a canyon/park). It's safe, relaxing and felt like fantastic value-for-money given the superior service and offerings of the hotel. Everything was in great condition in the room and hotel.

The room was nicely equipped and very comfortable. The staff was unhosptiable. Telling us to come back at 3:00 to check and not having a clue where to out us when we arrived at 3:45 and just nit nice through the whole encounter. We booked for three and we went to turn in found no sheets for the pull out. They didn’t answer the front desk phone and when I went down answered with a well ‘sort it out’. No answer as to when or how. Someone needs to train the staff.

Only gripe is that since we were prepaid, upon arrival, the checkin staff asked for a credit card but did not specify what for, thinking it was to check everything matched we found out later it was $50 for a bond (which we later got back) but was just made unaware of this at the time.

The Hilton Lake Taupo was a great hotel for us during our time in Taupo. They graciously accommodated us with a last-minute booking that rescued us from staying in a different hotel we had booked which ended up being bug-infested. The Hilton provided a clean room with a pretty view of the lake, and the staff were all super friendly.

Second visit here. The staff were friendly and helpful. We asked to see the menu for the restaurant and were told it would be on the TV in the room. It wasn't. I ended up walking to the restaurant to get one. Although we booked a King room, the room itself was quite small (NZ$333 per night). In the restaurant our choice of wine was unavailable.We thought the food lacked creativity/style. Ordinary really. Not what we would expect for a higher class hotel. The pool was excellent, and the cleanliness top notch. Stayed this time on the basis of the previous visit, probably would think twice about returning.
