What guests think

Travellers choose Art Deco Masonic Hotel for its preserved Art Deco character, welcoming staff, and highly central seafront location, with many appreciating the rooftop and balcony spaces that showcase Napier's waterfront and the ease of walking to key sights.

Rooms blend period style with comfort; many are small with compact bathrooms, while apartments and suites are spacious. Parking is off site and a short walk or paid, which some find inconvenient, and noise or Wi-Fi reliability can vary by room, with occasional AC issues. On-site dining and bars attract praise overall, though a few reviews were more mixed. Expect heritage charm and walkable convenience with a few trade-offs.

This hotel doesn't offer onsite parking. We had to pull up on a side street next to the hotel and wait in a line of other cars to unload our luggage at the hotel. It was raining when we arrived, and we had to park three blocks from the hotel in an open parking lot and walk back to the hotel in the rain. Our room was small but nice and quiet.

This is a lovely era- hotel. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable, and the shared areas are great. Superb location - walking distance to great restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. Parking is down the road but really no hassle but it’s only free if you book direct! The restaurant/bar was a bit of a let down. The staff are pleasant but not engaging and service is ok but could easily be improved.

Centrally located hotel in this Art Deco intensive city. All staff friendly and helpful. We were able to use their laundry facilities. Nice restaurant. Checked in early and out late which was quite helpful. All in all a pleasant stay if you’re here to enjoy Art Deco. Really nice museum on the corner across.

We enjoyed our stay at Art Deco Masonic Hotel. Our room was a bit cramped, but very comfortable otherwise. The hotel has a large balcony overlooking the sea. A very nice place to enjoy a glass of wine before dinner. You are in the heart of Art deco Napier. There’s a tour company across the street, and lots of local shopping & restaurants. The hotel leases a private lot a block away. Very easy to unload luggage & keep your vehicle there. A safe place to keep your car. The best thing about this hotel is the staff. They are very kind & helpful. We had a problem with a tour we booked & were over the top in helping us sort it out. Many thanks to them for their kindness. The hotel offers a washing machine for those travellers on the road for a while. The wash is free, but drying is a nominal fee. A nice touch.

Great hotel experience from start to finish. We were welcomed by a friendly receptionist and we loved the art deco interiors of the hotel - so stylish and cool. We were happy with the room and were impressed with the amenities, as well as the closely located car park for $20NZD a night. The hotel is perfectly located in Napier and we hope we can visit again soon!

The Art Deco Masonic Hotel was beautiful, and the staff were quite helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed the style and historic feeling while staying there. The room was extremely clean as well - definitely better than other hotels we've stayed in recently. Its location is ideal for walking anywhere in Napier, and the hotel parking situation was pretty convenient (2-3 min walk a couple blocks over). You'll have no problem getting to restaurants, art galleries, the National Aquarium, the Faraday Museum, and the oceanfront from here. We would stay here again in the future.

Got a superior room but it was tiny, great location. Everything walkable., We’re early risers and not much open until later. Hotel restaurant and bar were both good. Shower was tiny, you better not be a large person and there’s quite a drop off from shower to floor. Dangerous if you’re unsteady on your feet. Reception was very nice and helped get our luggage up the steep front steps. Parking is fairly close, easy walk, or if you luck out you can get after hours parking for free. Cape Kidnappers was an easy drive from there.

Very pleased with this Hotel for its position right up to the seafront but on top of the many shops and eateries. Yes the parking needs better information to allow you to set down and unload before you park up. Time arrival right and it’s free overnight with. $7 full day’s parking 300m down the road. Breakfast is over the road in a delightful eatery and the bar serves good beers and wine.
