Top Whakatu Hotel Reviews

Beach Front Motel Napier

8/10 Good

"Room was a tad outdated, the carpet in the lounge was wet from something leaking underneath it, the condensaion was really bad in the bathroom and the front windows, alot of chips and scratches on the walls and doors and cracked tiles, wasnt worth the price id paid for two nights."

Shoreline Motel

8/10 Good

"Overall good. Will visit again."

Expressotel

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet, lovely, in the heart of the city. Could see both Woolies from the balcony. A rare Napier treat."

Art Deco Masonic Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was our second stay at the Art Deco Hotel which is as beautiful as ever. A smaller room this time (as booked) meant it was a bit more cramped, though the decor and cleanliness is excellent. We sat out on the shared patio with a glass of wine and watched evening fall. Unfortunately the room felt hot and stuffy due to rattling air-conditioning unit, and the window was jammed so could not open. The bed was very uncomfortable."

Navigate Seaside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, walking distance to shops,restaurants and boardwalk."

Quality Inn Napier

8/10 Good

"Great location and the rooms are spacious."

Napier Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good the staff were fantastic and helpful cabin was nice"

Pebble Beach Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The location and ocean view from the room (which had a balcony) was stellar and definitely earns a 5 star. The room, bathroom and kitchen were very clean, the room well sized with a jacuzzi bathtub (!) in it. Staff was really nice and helpful and the motel has a lift, therefore, bringing the luggage up two floors was no burden at all. Parking was free. Would highly recommend this motel to anybody."

Harbour View Motel on Ahuriri Beach in Napier NZ with sea view suites

10/10 Excellent

"I'm a regular user of this motel. Its always clean and well appointed. Quiet because its not in the main part of Napier but walking distance of all the delights of Ahuriri. The rooms are generous"
