Lovely hotel - room was spacious, clean with a comfortable bed and large, well lit bathroom and shower. The breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. It is a short drive from the downtown shopping and restaurant venues.

Amazing heated outdoor pool
Location is a little away from the town and lake but just a quick drive to get to and parking is ample all around town and the lake. Rooms were large, bed was comfy but the bathrooms felt a little dated. Seems like they refreshed a few things like the outdoor pool area which was excellent but maybe the rooms will get an upgrade sometime soon!

The Hilton Lake Taupo was a great hotel for us during our time in Taupo. They graciously accommodated us with a last-minute booking that rescued us from staying in a different hotel we had booked which ended up being bug-infested. The Hilton provided a clean room with a pretty view of the lake, and the staff were all super friendly.

Loved the property, it looks grand! We had an awesome room and view. It was a shame we were kept awake with chairs moving, and staff talking and walking around in the restaurant below us at 11pm
