    Spacious and clean.

    Calming and Enjoyable.

    Liked : The location is very central and walkable to the beach as well as most of the restaurants within the city. The lady at the reception was really sweet and guided us with a some information around the city. We will definitely stay with Expressotel next time we visit Napier.

    Disliked : Our only problem was the TV remote was not working rest everything was lovely.

    • King Studio
  • BerniNew Zealand · Mar 12, 2025 8Very good

    Central to movies, restaurant and shopping. Room overlooking the square was lovely

    Liked : Great location, clean. Excellent service and very accommodating.

    Disliked : There was no soap in the shower only shampoo and conditioner

  • JessicaCanada · Mar 5, 2025 8Very good

    Great value, good location.

    Liked : The room was great, nice jacuzzi tub, great location, great staff help.

    Disliked : The parking is pretty rough, hard to navigate the small space and it may fill up. There is free after 6pm parking in a parkade across the street. The gates lock 6pm to 8am though.

    Also I went to make coffee and when I opened the kettle it had mold in it. That’s the only reason my cleaning rating was lower. The bed, bathroom, and everything else was clean.
