Strongly recommend for solo female traveler.”
I made an extension in 4 people female dorm for 2 more nights (#102), everyone has half of closet to use, room was clean, lucky me I had 2 very good roommates, a girl we met in Taupo then crossed path again. Staffs are awesome, cleaners are amazing! There is a pool table and table tennis for free, can get a special price for bouldering, thought climbing with charming instructors will be good fun. Met a young talented artist at opposite accommodation shop. Definitely come back when visit Rotorua again!

Great place”
Centrally located, this is one of the best hostels I stayed at in New Zealand. The rooms have high ceilings which gave the dorm rooms an open feel unlike some of the more cluttered places that are comparably priced. Beds were comfortable and sturdy, and it had everything needed. Plus it was atop a rock gym for those who like climbing :)

Kia ora Blake, Thanks so very much for leaving us such positive feedback. We are very happy to hear you liked everything to do with our hostel. We are extremely fortunate to be located in the city centre. Plus to have a large window over looking the climbing wall. We still can not believe how lucky we are when it comes to our location. We would love the opportunity to host you again. If you are ever back in Rotorua, feel free to return and maybe give the Rock Wall a go?1 Kia pai te ra (have a good day) - Rock Solid Rotorua.

My stay experience”
I recommend this place if you are looking to stay close to the CBD area. The room is clean and tidy. I don't smell the dust from the carpet which is great. So I hope they will keep the room like that. I am happy with my 3 days and 2 nights stay.

Great location, suited our needs for 2 nights. Easy check in and check out and although there’s no lift there is a ramp which is great for wheelie bags.

Affordable, decent stay”
We were pleased to be given very early check-in. The 4-bed dorm was spacious with a heater, big bunk beds and cabinets; however the walls were not sound-proof. Shared areas were decent, though the ambience looked a bit dark. The most annoying thing was weak wifi that could not reach our room, so we had to sit in the lounge for signals. The second most was very loud people hanging outside, luckily they went back in at around 10pm. You get a small discount from the adjacent rock climbing facility. In the basement there is a cinema, though we didn't check it out. The CBD is small, so it's easy to walk around. There are plenty of similarly priced backpackers around. If you have a car there are more accommodation options in Rotorua.

Kia ora Linh, Thanks so much for leaving us a review. We appreciate it. We are delighted to hear you found our hostel affordable and decent. We always try our best to ensure all guests are comfortable within our hostel. We are sorry to hear you experienced issues with the noise levels after hours and the weak Wi-Fi connection. We ask all guests to be quiet between the hours of 10pm and 6am (earliest). We always try our best to ensure noise levels are kept to a minimum. We have 3 different networks that work well throughout the hostel. We are sorry our staff did not inform you of this. We will ensure all guests are aware of this on check in. Kind regards, Rock Solid Rotorua.

Very good”
The room is large enough for two people and the bed is comfortable. Heater isn’t that well functioning. Small Kitchen and kitchenware provided but it’s little smelly and not that clean. Overall it’s worth with the price and location for sure.
