Was great to be complimentary upgraded into a newly refurbished room, nicely redecorated. Represented best value we'd had on the entire trip. However if recently redone, shame tea and coffee facilities less obvious, no small bedside tables nor much space for storage. Felt like a missed opportunity with room facitliies. Dinner in GMK was nice. Quiet that evening, however food... More

I stayed here for 4 nights in April with my son in a twin unrefurbished room. I had read the reviews before choosing to stay here so knew the rooms would be a la 1960's style. The room was comfortable with direct balony access and had a new LCD TV. I don't mind a dated room at the price point... More

Value for Money. We (my wife, our 4 yr old and I) stayed in one of the unrefubished rooms overlooking the waterfront for 2 nights. While the room was dated, it was very clean and comfortable, with a bedroom, and separate lounge. (It is good to see how things were back in the 30s) The GMK restaurant downstairs has daily... More

We stayed 3 nights and my husband was enchanted with the history and old world charm of this motel. Our room opened directly onto the balcony with views across the road to the ocean. The history of the place is one of the drawcards and the reason we booked here. There was one minor drawback. There is no cutlery or... More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Art Deco Masonic Hotel for 2 nights over the Easter period and I must say I was extremely pleased with everything. I was lucky enough to be given one of the new completely refurbished double rooms which had television, a couch, comfy bed, brand new bathroom, radio clock, and wifi My only... More

Staying here was a fabulous nostalgic experience for myself, as I used to stay here regularly as a Commercial Traveller around 1960. I was not disappointed ! It is a perfect location, and has a wonderful outlook across to the Sound Shell and beyond to the Sea. The Art Deco ambience has been wonderfully retained and even enhanced. Lovely rooftop... More

We enjoyed this place including the irish bar downstairs. The location is perfect for sightseeing around the town. Rooms (ask for a renovated room when booking) are fairly spacious, clean with good amenities. The reception area seems to be original which just lends character to place More

Ok, you will be in a hotel with some tour groups and personally I prefer to be with independent travellers. However, treat yourself to a bit of art deco style and enjoy the unusual if faded experience for a few nights. The rooms have french windows opening onto a roof terrace, affording a splendid view of the Esplanade and beach.... More

We stayed here to take in the whole Napier experience and we loved it. We got one of the balcony rooms with a massive comfy bed. The bathroom was pretty dated but all added to the experience for us. Loved the old decor in the lobby and corridors, do think the door numbers could be improved on, laminated paper is... More
