Stayed with my Father in a 1 bedroom garden view Suite. Room was very big with 2 beds in the lounge (single) and seperate bedroom. Motel was very impressive with a big TV with chrome cast. Seating outside on deck and unit was very quiet. Absolutely spotless. Will definitely stay again.

The service we received efficient, friendly and helpful. We had a beautiful view of Mt Ruapehu. The bed was comfortable. I think heating in the bathroom would add to the comfort of our experience but overall we were very satisfied with the service and comfort level. It was very conveniently situated in that we could walk into Taupo township with ease.

We spent three nights at this very comfortable hotel in Taupo in early June. We were visiting our daughter who lives in the town but didn’t have enough room for us to stay. I was after a hotel with a view of the beautiful lake, but still within walking distance to town as we didn’t have a car. Suncourt Hotel fitted the brief perfectly. We booked a Premier Deluxe Lakeview Studio room. The room that we were allotted was on the top floor. There was no lift, so you needed to climb the outdoor steps with luggage. Our room was very large, with a king size bed, a desk, two comfortable chairs and a coffee table. The bathroom was huge with a walk-in shower and a free-standing bath. There was also a very large balcony with a stunning view of the lake and a further two chairs and a small table. The reception staff were very helpful not only with our original reservation, but also when we needed to add a night and with any questions that we had. The only downside to me was that their restaurant was not open on the evening that we checked in, which was Sunday, and also not for breakfast on the Monday morning. We did know this in advance though, and as the town was easily walkable it wasn’t a problem. We had two breakfasts in the restaurant, and they were excellent. As we had other dinner plans, we didn’t have dinner in the restaurant, but our daughter and her partner have eaten there and loved it. If you are looking for a very large hotel room with a view, then Suncourt is for you. I believe they have much larger apartment style rooms which would be more suitable for families, although we didn’t get to see any of these. …

Great service from checkin to checkout. Clean, had everything we need. And Lake Bistro is awesome too. Power points everywhere you wouldn't have trouble charging multiple devices at once, we haven't been in a hotel with so much power plugs lol! 4 as the bed was too firm for us.

Stayed 2 nights here for work conference. Lovely clean rooms, warm, great showers. Loved the view from our room on the first floor overlooking the lake and the snow-capped mountains. Friendly staff too. Dined here for lunch both days and food was great. Had a really nice stay, will return when we're back on holiday.

Overall, the stay at Suncourt Hotel was enjoyable. The lake-view room on the bottom floor provided a somewhat glimpse of Lake Taupo, although a better view would likely be obtained from a room on the second level. The room itself was comfortable, with the only drawback being the air conditioning system taking a while to kick in, resulting in initial coldness upon entering. However, the hotel staff informed us of this beforehand, so it wasn't a major issue. The room was also relatively quiet, with minimal disturbance from outside noise. The bathroom was bright and clean, adding to the comfort of getting ready in the morning. Although we did not utilise the kitchenette during our one-night stay, it appeared to be well-stocked for a hotel. The check-in process was fast, and the staff were friendly, providing a positive first impression. The location of the hotel is excellent, with a short walk to the numerous bars, restaurants, and cafes in the main town centre. Additionally, the pleasant surprise of waking up on a Sunday morning to a farmers market right across the road, offering local and handcrafted goods, added to the overall experience.…

The hotel is very central. We had a two room suite which was a good size although the only cooking facility was a microwave which I hadn't realised. The tv had netflix, disney, apple tv, amazon prime which was great as the weather was terrible. The spa pool was warm and pleasant but the main pool was unheated. Bar and reception were pleasant and we got complimentary drinks for booking on line.
