Stay away
Terrible place! The place is not what it looks like in the photos. The photos must be 10years old. The place is run down. A backpackers would be a better option. There was old blood stains on the bedding and the mattress. The carpet have not seen a vacuum or a clean in a very long time.

An amazing hidden gem
From 1st appearance you may think you arrived in 19th century wild west but step in the room and its comfort city. Looks and feels like its newly refurbished. Has pool, 5 min walk to free hot pool, smart tv, polite owners and tranquil grounds. As a hotels.com gold member, this is well worth a stay. True hidden gem.

Pet friendly
The place is fairly run down, but I understand new owners have just taken over. The reason we booked here is because it is pet friendly. A lot of motels in Taupo are not. We were only there to sleep, so on the whole the experience was not too bad. The place does some potential to be tidied up.

This is the 2nd time i have stayed here and it will be the last. Both times the room hasnt been clean with scum on the walls and toilet. Very noisy neighbours. Also not accommodating at all. I rode my car off on the way to the motel and the wouldnt comprise with my booking at all.

4/10 Fair

For a name like 'Grandeur', I was expecting a reasonable level of comfort. It may have been nice 5 or 10 years ago. But now feels derelict, barely maintained. It beats sleeping on the streets. But feels like a crappy rental. I promptly booked a different motel.

8/10 Very good

This seems like a business in transition. Some of the unit/buildings had been done up very nicely and other parts were a bit old and tired. The grounds with a thermal stream were beautiful. Other than aesthetics, it had everything expected: nice beds, a stocked kitchenette, couch and tv, wifi, parking, a little playground, and a big soa bath with towels.

Perhaps a little tired but great value for price, Quiet location, easy check in, close to the start of the river walk to Huka Falls

Parklike setting 3 mins from Taupo Lake. Great bed, clean linen and water pressure. Quiet setting. Sadly my superior chalet was unmaintained for 70 years. Curtain rails detached, unwashed cups in cupboard and floor unswept. Things just seemed grimy. Tried to cancel on arrival. I suggested they accurately describe property - there was nothing superior here. Thanks for partial refund given.

This place obviously used to be amazing in its hey day. However the buildings and surrounds are dilapidated and in need of repair. We had an end unit, two beds upstairs and a double downstairs at the back. My son slept on a rollaway bed. Sheets were clean and beds were comfortable. Bathroom was average. Toilet and basins were clean and functional. No towel rail. Shower had no plug and looked gross. Only my daughter used it once. Spa bath was a nice addition although in the freezing back room, however was happy to have a bath rather than use the shower. Kitchen was basic but clean. Overall we got what we paid for. Nothing fancy. Not super clean. Old and tired facilities. Staff Were friendly and helpful. Also gun range could be heard from there which was annoying.
