The location was perfect
Pros:

The location was very nice.

Cons:

The bathroom was very small with a window above the sink, mirror to the side. Barely enough room for one person. The room was small and looked a little outdated.

Excellent location in the heart of Napier
Pros:

Enjoyed our stay in this hotel although the standard room was very small and would definitely look to upgrade if we stayed again .. and we would: as it was an enjoyable stay. A little late night city centre noise where we were but not too much of a problem.
