    It’s in the central of all things to see in Napier. The deco is funky and staff were friendly.

    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.

    Art Deco jewel in Art Deco town. Historic design of hotel fully preserved in doors, staircase, bars and largely preserved in rooms. Great location in centre of town directly facing seafront

    Some areas of the hotel are now due for maintenance work.

    The charming Art Deco interiors with a colonial feel. The very central location. The staff. The restaurant which serves a fusion of Western and Indian food.

    The shower in the room was pretty tiny. Naturally as an older building the lift was quite slow. We’d booked because of included parking which ended up being paid for parking.

    Had a lovely stay at the Masonic Hotel. The room was very comfortable and spacious. It’s right on Marine Parade, hardly any distance at all from the MTG and art deco centre (if that’s your thing).

    The menu was a bit limited in the dining room.

    The hotel was well located in centre of Napier. The room was large and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. Loved the shared balcony looking out to sea.

    Access was difficult with entry from the side street being up a flight of stairs but this can be avoided by entering through the hotel bar at the beach-front. Meals are served in the hotel bar. This was decidedly iffy during our stay as new operators had just taken over. Food wait times were long and some dishes did not meet expectations. There seemed to be a hierarchical service team with some members busying themselves with peripheral tasks behind the bar while the overstretched minions struggled to look after the patrons. Very polite though! There are several local restaurants and these might be better options.

    The Art Deco is all we needed for a couple of nights. It’s a bit old but is clean and comfortable. We were in Napier to play Cape Kidnappers Golf Course which is half an hour out of town and this is an ideal alternative to the $multi-thousand accommodation at the course.

    Air Conditioner in our room had a weird water noise. Could sleep though.

    Highly recommend this lovely, central, historical Art Deco Hotel situated on the prime waterfront position.(There is a road between the hotel and the water) Freshly shucked oysters at Hotel's restaurant downstairs  Lots of beautiful old buildings close by. The Art Deco Centre is across the road.  Friendly welcome by reception. Comfy bed. Smaller room but had an armchair and a writing desk with a chair and was nicely appointed.Bar fridge. One of our two  small windows looked out onto Marine Parade, the sound shell and the huge expanse of the South Pacific Ocean (Hawkes Bay). Black sand beach and turquoise water. There is a guest communal outdoor verandah  overlooking Marine Parade and the water. Lots of eating choices in the area. Hubby happy to receive complimentary slippers :)
