Reviewed 4 March 2018 Very well located in the heart of the art-deco city of Napier, this old art-deco style hostel is an invitation to travel back in time. The personnel is very welcoming and the complimentary breakfast, even simple, is an opportunity to discuss with other backpackers. Very...More

Awful place....More

"Try not to get a room facing the main street as street cleaning and garbage pick up trucks start making noise..." "Get a room back away from the common area." "Various room options from dorms to ensuite doubles" "Can be street noise if on the side of the Rose Bar across the street. I just wore earplugs on weekend nights"
