Rock Solid Backpackers & Group Accommodation - TBG

Stayed single room w shared bathroom. The room was simple and w a portable fan. Shared bathroom was really clean and dry and toilet no stain at all. Thumb up to the cleanliness. Very good location to central mall and lot of eateries

I had a great stay here! I love that there are sloped ramps instead of stairs up. There were 3 bunks in my room and 2 single twin beds! I enjoyed a night of not having anyone above or close to me! Staff was super friendly. Lots of supplies in the kitchen for cooking. Walking distance to the Polynesian Spa. Overall loved my stay here!

THE hostel in Rotorua. Perfect location near the city centre and all major bus routes and there's lots to do as the climbing wall and cinema is located just downstairs. The hostel also offers discounts on various local attractions. The facilities were amazing, offering large storage lockers, a decent kitchen and even a TV in the lounge area with plenty of films to choose from. They offer a cheap self-laundry service at 8 dollars in total for a wash and dry, and will change your cash for you at the reception. But where this hostel truly shines is the service. The staff were all super helpful and friendly, especially Dale, who offered me advice on where to go during my stay. All in all this is one of the best hostels I've stayed in, definitely stop by if you're in the area.

Great location with comfortable beds. They organize fun activities and offer discount for some activities. Unfortunately it doesn’t make up for the lack of hygiene. The kitchen was not very well equipped (no salt, pepper, not all the equipment was working), the bins were full to the brim, the bathroom was disgusting and unsanitary, some sinks in the bathroom were clogged, no soap. Please, when you use a bathroom clean after yourself and pick up your hair. To conclude, wear flip-flops and bring your sponge.

We stayed 3 nights in a private room at Rock Solid. The first room we got assigned was just below the lounge area and given the walls are so thin it really seemed like a group of people was in our room. The manager was very nice and moved us into a different room- walls still thin but at least in a different location vs the first room. The common areas are big and clean + laundry area with good prices + you get 50% discount on the climbing wall gym which we used!

The perfect place for accommodation in the heart of Rotorua. Very friendly staff and I absolutely loved the fact that they had space to securely store our 2x cycles during our stay. Parking wasn't an issue since we were there after 12pm on Saturday, so we were able to park right outside the place. The room was nice, clean, tidy and the toilet/shower facilities were clean as well. Their kitchen facility was fantastic too. I would book my acco here again the next time I visit Rotorua.

Wonderful medium size hostel converted from a car park, giving a layout that feels much more communal than some places. Hard working and friendly staff who keep the place remarkably clean - the manager Dale is particularly hospitable. I stayed three nights and saw quite a few tour groups come through, although there are also many independent travellers. Limited toilets and no sockets near beds but the other facilities like the attached climbing wall more than make up for this in my opinion.

good location-- near a lot of shops. Free parking in front of the building but only until 9am. If you want to park in the building, parking fee is $5. Good stay overall.
