Forget about luxury, flashy decor and all that. The strength of this motel is not based on that. Instead, it is based on cleanliness, proximity and comfortability. The motel is run by a lovely old couple Ken and Kathryn, some of the most friendliest and accommodating Kiwis I have ever met during my 2 weeks trip. Talk about the room... More

The rating for this motel is above average. We stayed in a double unit (8) which was spacious, clean with good cooking facilites.

Excellent value motel, very handy for the CBD & sea-front. Bit dated, but spotlessly clean. We had 3 adults in a 2 bedroom unit, and we had plenty of room to be comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. More

I stayed here over New Years for 2 nights. I stayed in Taupo for 1 night before coming here and our accomodation in Taupo was absolutely terrible and I was so nervous about things being the same here as I didn't read any reviews before booking accomodation over New Years as it was a last minute decision to go away....

It is very budget and old. The rooms were clean. The beds uncomfortable and tired. The area in the rooms was cramped for a family of 4. The bathroom, shower etc was very awkward, pokey and small. No- where to put clothes etc.It was located near supermarkets, cinema some sort of bar restaurant and a short walk in to town.... More

Very good location. We stayed in two separate rooms. One room (#5) was basic but highly satisfactory. The other room (#7) was stated for up to four adults but in reality should only be for two (three at most) as living space too small. More

City Close motel is an older style property that is clean and tidy. The managers were very obliging and the breakfast was excellent. It's location in the heart of Napier is fantastic. It is very good value for money but not luxurious. More
