We had a lovely time in Napier. Only wished that we could have stayed longer. We had a Family room which was good. Free Internet service which was a real plus. The service that we had was excellent. The hotel staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel is centrally located to shops and restaurants. We would highly recommend. Would love... More

We ended up at the Tennyson because it was Art Deco weekend in Napier and everywhere else was booked solid. We expected it to be below average in quality - and we were not disappointed. The location however is excellent - very central. Most new hotels are strung out along the waterfront - the Tennyson is by the town square... More

We just stayed here with Kirra Tours. The hotel states it is recently refurbished - but it did not look like it! The lobby smell like someone had been sick. The rooms are dingy, bathrooms dirty. The breakfast was OK but the milk was off, as was the yogurt. I plan to let the tour company know. In this economy,... More

First impressions are the most important. The outside of the building gives you an indication of what's inside. On walking through the main doors the smell of cigarette's hit us. Not just a whiff, but a strong permanant smell. En-suite Bathroom was dated but very clean. All the usual hotel items there for the comfort of the traveller including shampoo,... More

This hotel is conveniently located and that is its only virtue. It is dirty, not maintained with old dilapidated furnishings, curtains falling off the windows and general all in an unacceptable condition. Its only saving grace is that it is located only a few metres from Groovey Kitchen. That meant we did not have to eat the toast bread that... More

I traveled the north island of New Zealand in April 2010 for 10 days, and we thankfully stayed for two nights at the Tennyson. The Tennyson was easily the best hotel we stayed at the entire trip, and the entire group was grateful to stay at such a nice hotel for more than one night! The breakfast was excellent, the... More

This hotel is ideally situated in the heart of the city. We were delighted with all it offered. The proprietors were charming and very hospitable. The room was large with a truly comfortable bed with pristine cleanliness in all respects. The free internet was a great bonus. The breakfast was fine also and we were given off street free parking... More

Was very close to the town centre, dont think you could get any closer, we could park the car and walk everywhere. The price was reasonable and the room was clean and had sky, free wifi and buffet continental breakfast standard for all bookings. A little bit on the old side but well maintained. I'd stay there again. More

I stayed for two nights. Great location in the city next to a gorgeous park and a few steps to the city center. Older hotel with a friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. Value for money. Didn't make it down to breakfast because the bed was so comfortable!!!! More
