Astray is a cheap BBH accommodation in the center of Rotorua. Our host, Frank, was a nice Danish guy who helped us out whenever we asked him something. We stayed in a 4 bed share room with (2 bunk beds) and it was a little cramped, but clean. The showers were clean and a little small as well and the... More

For budget accommodation this has to be one of the best. It is central city with adequate parking. Whilst the room was small it was comfortable and clean. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The unit was also unexpectedly very quiet. I would be happy to recommend and definitely would stay there again.

The Astray is certainly budget accomodation but first class in its field. It is ideally situated in the centre of Rotorua and the rooms, although small, are clean and comfortable. Frank and Sue are very welcoming hosts and the tourist information dispensed by the former is worth the stay alone. We had an excellent two days in Rotorua on his... More

Stayed there for 5 nights. The first night I spent in room 12 which faces the evening sun and the room was quite hot. I asked Sue at reception to change a room and she was happy to put me in an airconned room on the opposite side of the building. The rooms are small but very clean, newly designed... More

Excellent position in town center - by main bus stop including the line to airport. Helpful staff, clean and small single room. Free wifi connection provided by the Rotorua municipal authority - useful surprise (You dont have to buy the connection from the hostel - which is not cheap).

The principal reason for picking this place was that it was one of the only motels in Rotorua that would accept a single night booking. We booked an ensuite room. The room was relatively small and reasonably clean. The mattress was made of quite a squishy foam and so was quite soft. The kitchen facilities in the room were limited... More

Very good owner, very helpful and he appreciated that we booked two nights even though we were leaving at the middle Of the Night, helped us a lot and gave us good advice for day trip ( drive to lake taupo, see the hauka<hope I got name right> falls on way back) Perfect value for money for double room.

We didn't expect anything, as almost every accomodation across NZ offer their double rooms for the same price, but this room was really really small, and double bed meant bunks in this context. I think I have never seen a small room like this, but it did its job. Besides the room, everything was okay: free off street parking, the... More

We had two nights in a private double room at Astray and we were very impressed. The room was decorated to the standard of a hotel and also had a full size fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster as well as a set of crockery and cutlery. There was even a little bottle of washing up liquid, dish cloth and tea... More
