    A comfortable low rise hotel with an Art Deco difference!

    Irish Cafe below my room could be noisy at times. TV offerings were very very limited.

    The ambiance & old fashioned feeling of the place. Pleasant internal courtyards to relax in. Very well located overall.

    • Parking is a challenge. • The street lights on Emerson Street are very bright. Blackout curtains would be a good idea.

    • Unique property in the heart of Napier, within easy walking distance of the Art Deco centre and coastal promenade. • Beautifully furnished rooms, everyone is different. • Guest laundry - yay! • Lots of dining options close by, including some on site.

    Even with grab rails the step up into the shower-over-bath is a challenge and possible safety risk for older people or those with challenges (eg., large or frail people).

    Very comfortable bed. I liked that the room opened onto a terrace looking towards the bay.

    Internal stairs to reach our apartment which we were not aware of. Important for older visitors to know this before booking. No Hotel staff to help with luggage to apartment, 3 ladies in their seventies left to do this themselves. Couches need restoring, springs sagging. Microwave was dirty when we moved in.

    Central location, art deco style. Beds comfy. Nice little outdoor area for sitting. Food at the downstairs restaurant really good. This is not operated by the hotel but it is certainly an asset having it in the building. Staff here were amazing, friendly and helpful.

    Bathroom was a little on the small side.

    The location was lovely, just off the sea front. The room was spacious with the usual amenities. The overall Art Deco theme was great.

    Parking is the biggest problem, as the hotel does not have local parking. There is an area provided for hotel guests about a block away. As we were staying there over the weekend, we were advised to park on the street as there was no time limit. We were lucky as we found a spot right out the front. In the booking information provided by Booking.com, it stated that the Deluxe Studio room had a patio. The staff acknowledged that this was incorrect and would update the Bookings.com page. Our room was at the rear of the property.

    The Art Deco Masonic Hotel was exactly what we wanted. It had so much character and we loved every minute there. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was quite spacious and had been quite tastefully upgraded recently. The hotel is perfectly located, and within walking distance of the central Napier sites. We opted to enjoy the walking tour provided by the Art Deco Trust, which is located just across the road next to the museum.

    Would have benefited from hair towels rather than just bath towels. No one spoke to us or greeted us from the moment we arrived to when we left after breakfast. I don't expect attention but a simple welcome or good morning would have been kind and appropriate. It would have been good to know where to put the keys when we left.

    The room was well equipped and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely.

    There is no parking included on site, so you need to offload luggage and then park/pay nearby in designated location.

    This hotel highlights the Art Deco style with decor and antique pieces throughout. A beautiful 2nd floor balcony, with access from several of the rooms, overlooks the promenade and the bay.

    This is our second stay and we wouldn't stay anywhere else. The hotel is unique and full of character. The location is perfect and everything is in walking distance. We had a lovely view and discovered some great little quirky eating spots. Hope to be back again in the future.
