Five stars. I asked them why Expedia couldn’t cancel one of my three rooms after an erroneous booking online (called within 12 hours to fix, still 5 weeks from our stay). Was told that “we can’t cancel - only Expedia can.” Got the same story from Expedia “we can’t cancel without hotel approval”). Expedia claims they called twice and cancel was denied. Hotel says they never called. One star. SOMEONE IS LYING. Zero stars. Parking fee is added if you have a vehicle. Three stars. Location is great - near many venues and restaurants.

Fantastic service. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hayden 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service The room was nice and clean but the bathroom is fully tiled with no heat so it was freezing. This would be fine in summer but definitely not in winter ##### Hayden Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### JOHN 27 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Building itself was in keeping with the town history art nouveau style , we spent just the one night on a Monday, which meant there were not many amenities regarding the hotel as they only open the restaurant leading into the weekend and booking in is strictly between 10 am and 4:00pm with somebody managing the front desk, or you have to phone to get somebody to let you in. We were a bit concerned that the hotel was unmanned overnight, it might not have been but that's what it felt like. The room itself was very nice and clean; there wasn't any view other than the alleyway below and the rooftops of the business cross the way. When we were going to bed we found out that the headboard was not properly attached to the bed which meant moving the bed away from the wall and the towel rail in the bathroom fell off when reaching for the towel. We wanted to report this so we went back to the hotel after having our breakfast just after 10:00 and waited to the quarter past but the front door was never opened and we could see that somebody was waiting to get in, as we had a long drive ahead of us, we had to leave without Informing the hotel of the above. Would I stay again probably not. ##### JOHN Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jane 9 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a lovely hotel qith old fashion decor thatvwas well appointed. ##### jane Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Delwyn 29 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Love the old world charm of this hotel. ##### Delwyn Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Johann 15 Dec 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The room was stuffy and very hot. The air con was not working correctly. I was moved to another room. I encountered the same problem in this room. I was told that “it was a hot day”. I drew their attention that it was only 22° outside and the room was set at 17° and it was much much hotter. I was then moved to a much smaller room and assured that the air-conditioner was brand-new which indeed it did seem to be. This room however was very small, had a tiny window and was facing the baking afternoon and the bathroom was like an oven. On stretching out on the bed the old headboard clattered as it was not fixed to the wall. I thought I’d make a cup of coffee to find that there was only instant coffee, and no coffee pod machine. There was no curtain above the bathroom let alone any blackout curtains. This establishment brands itself as a Napier‘s finest five star. I had booked and paid for three nights, but was so tired and had become so disillusioned that this hotel would not be able to resolve the problem despite doing their best, and I had wasted so much time I checked out and found another hotel nearby, which was efficient, cool, and with a lovely sea breeze and view. Overall the experience was wanting, the place seemed very very empty and desolate. If you like the old character and history, it may be of interest to you, but it lacks the basic amenities for any hotel let alone one that brands itself five star. ##### Johann Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith 6 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful old hotel Beautiful hotel in centre of Napier, stayed twice before always wonderful..especially having a balcony to just relax on and the library with complimentary port. ##### Judith Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James J 4 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great older hotel - a bit tired in some regards, but a friendly, professional staff clearly makes it work. ##### James J ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 12 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was great ##### Richard ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin D 14 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent preservation of historic bank turned into hotel.

Lovely art deco style hotel. Outstanding meals (try the lamb rump). Staff are just great. Angela is just the most welcoming and friendly hotel owner you will ever meet. Hotel is in the heart of the Napier CBD and across the road from the Marine Parade. Great secure parking across the street. Unbeatable. ##### Alan Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Euan 6 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The manager and the cleaning staff were all super friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately, the hotel cafe was closed for renovations whilst I was trying. But there are plenty of alternatives within a block or two walking distance. ##### Aaron Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Luis 10 Feb 2024 No recepción ##### Luis Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sol House Mallorca - Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-Sol-House-Mallorca-Adults-Only.h72962.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Raphael](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Raphael.h28507.Hotel-Information) > > [BestWestern Hotels in Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Best-Western.0-0-d179898--bBestWestern.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Anaheim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d5921-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pensions Addis Ababa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Addis-Ababa-Pensions.d289-aaPensions.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Coach House Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dorchester-Hotels-Coach-House-Inn.h5769339.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool in New York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d178293-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Gallery Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Gallery-Hotel.h5310.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Somerton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Somerton-Hotels.s50-0-d6084952.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hilton Mauritius Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Flic-En-Flac-Hotels-Hilton-Mauritius-Resort-Spa.h901901.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in El Cabanyal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Cabanyal-Valencia-Hotels.0-n6355805-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Hebden Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hebden-Bridge-Hotels.d10470.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Lowther Pavilion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lowther-Pavilion-Hotels.0-l553248621532493246-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mercure York Fairfield Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Mercure-York-Fairfield-Manor-Hotel.h17905.Hotel-Information) > > [Aranwa Sarapiquí Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarapiqui-Hotels-Sarapiquis-Rainforest-Lodge.h6531664.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Frankfurt City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Frankfurt-Hotels-Moxy-Frankfurt-City-Center.h27042178.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Yucatan Peninsula](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yucatan-Peninsula-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6209122-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Saudi Arabian Airlines Birmingham (BHX) to Karachi (KHI) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/saudia-from-birmingham-to-jinnah-intl/sv/bhx/khi) > > [Flights from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to Hanoi (HAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sgn/han/ho-chi-minh-city-to-hanoi) ### Cars > [Car hire in Berlin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Berlin.d179892.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Flensburg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Flensburg.d7279.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Ely](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Ely.d55304.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Luxembourg Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luxembourg.d103.Holidays-City-Breaks) ---
