Staff were lovely. Room looked nice but needed a deeper clean, dust under bed, marks on walls and some of the bedding. No kitchenette sink so washing cups in bathroom sink. Ironing board but no iron. It wasn't terrible but just lacked attention to detail

Check in staff friendly and efficient. Bed was comfortable and clean. Room was grubby, mould on back of curtains, cobwebs in bathroom, carpet not well vacuumed. Skirting boards and unit in bathroom dirty. Furniture in room was old and tatty. Reception was not open at 7.30 am when we left so I was not able to discuss with staff.

Some milk for a cuppa and some soap to wash hands (there was only a small body wash) would be good. These are basics.There was mold in the bathroom and no shelf in the shower or bathroom, so either use the floor or toilet seat! Noisy at night from restaurant kitchen. It was clean.

The room was tired, and was not seviced while we were there and for the last 18 hours of our stay we were without an adequate water supply due to inefficient water storage facilities. The police had to be called at 4am due to neighbours loud arguing and when we asked for some sort of compensation but was told we could receive a discount on the next stay.I was promised a phone call after the directors were informed but did not receive one. We would never again stay at Twin Peaks Taupo, even if you paid me.

We had a quick overnight stay as we were travelling south. The room was clean and well appointed. Plenty of hot water and the location close to the Jolly Good Fellows restaurant and bar was perfect for dinner. The staff were very engaging yet gave us a level of privacy.

Clean room, nice staff, good facilities. The only thing is you can only take stairs to the second floor, so if you have big luggage, it will be a bit inconvenient.
