Featuring a garden, shared lounge, terrace and free WiFi, Crashpalace Backpackers is located in Rotorua, 4.4 km from Rotorua International Stadium and 12 km from Paradise Valley Springs. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. The property features a spa centre, evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. Staff is very friendly and helpful, they gave us a short tour around the place (bar, kitchen, hot tub, etc.) and explained how everything works plus gave us useful tips about things to do in Rotorua, where to eat and similar. The room is quite nice too, has everything you need, much better than what we expected. Location of the Crash palace is excellent, would definitely come back if I find myself in Rotorua again!
