Great is the word I use for this hotel, un unexpected gem. The Scenic is well positioned on Marine Parade and easy to find, right next to the Hogs Breath Café. Free parking is available behind the hotel, the entrance to the car park is off the street prior to the hotel. The building is glass fronted and has a... More

After our County Hotel debacle, we booked into here, a little saddened we weren't staying in something art-deco but were pleasantly surprisedby Te Pania. What we wound up with was a very nice room on the top floor, with beautiful toileteries and great view of the beach for a very reasonable price. Furnishings were clean and roomy and the bed... More

Stayed for 1 night on the 14th of Jan with my family 2 adults and 2 children. The building design is great. Check in is easy. The lifts are a little small and slow. The room is not the biggest but comfortable enough. It may have got a little tight if we were staying for longer. Great view of the... More

This was a perfectly adequate hotel, great location. But the soundproofing between the rooms (and in particular the outside hallway) is totally non existent. seriously at 2am I dont really want to hear people's conversations... I wouldnt say the views are anything that special, mostly you are looking at the trees and we were on a high floor but to... More

We stayed here a couple of nights and we were very pleased with the hotel. Our rooms were clean, housekeeping was great, nice views of the sea and walking distance to everything local. We ate at the restaurant one of the nights and the food was enjoyed by all 6 of us at our table. Particularly enjoyed the closeness to... More

My wife and I looked at rooms in several other central Napier hotels upon our arrival in town and found them unusually over-priced. By contrast the Te Pania ticked all the boxes at a reasonable price. Being directly opposite the beach, most rooms on the higher floors have a view of the ocean. Our room was large and the bed...

Very close to Ocean Spa and central Napier. All in walking distance. Average room. No coffee at bar. More

Good hotel with all rooms facing the view of the ocean. Only 5 minutes to the town centre and everything clean and well looked after. Good sized room and all the expected amenities - fridge, toiletries etc. Only small gripes were with staff - this was a busy time of year but still don't appreciate housekeeping knocking to come in...

Great rooms and location and comfortable except for the pillows. We stayed for 4 nights and as far as we can tell the toilets were not disinfected for the time we were there. The rooms were very good but could do with a blanket in the wardrobe as it got a little cold at night in Napier. Other than that... More
