Travellers describe The State Hotel as a stylish, centrally located boutique property with consistently friendly hosts, very clean rooms, and thoughtful touches like a guest lounge, free laundry, and convenient parking that make short stays comfortable and easy.
Rooms are compact with small bathrooms, though beds are often praised for comfort and the decor is distinctive. Some guests noted street noise, an unstaffed or app-based check-in, and the lack of an elevator. Expect a cozy, character-filled base in the heart of town.

Off-site parking and check-in details provided in detail prior to arrival. Alarmed about having to give debit/credit card details via an app other than hotels.com, even though had paid upfront with no intention of accruing debts to the service. Had to ring doorbell to attract reception. He gave us the envelope and gestured to the stairs and room whilst continuing with a phone call. We were aware there were no lifts at this facility. We knew it was a small room when we booked, it was a bit claustrophobic for us. Bathroom with toilet had an opaque glass door. A separate seating area was occupied by a group whom were quite noisy. Fortunately we were tired after 4.5 hour drive in the rain and wind on winding roads so could block out the noise. Pleasant checkout by same check-in reception personnel with the offer of carrying our bags down the stairs. Accommodation chosen for convenience because it was midway between Wellington Ferry and Auckland.

If you want a unique, boutique hotel experience look no further. What a gem. You know that Luke and Co. have really thought about the vibe of the place. Really well done. Quirky with style. NOTE: no elevator. Not a criticism just a reality for some Travellers to consider.

Nicely presented with art. Easy check in and out. Good shower. Good location for town. Quiet. Main criticism is that room had strong smell of tobacco which required me to keep the windows open. Because the windows were open I couldn’t sleep due to cold and noise from air conditioning units. Smell was coming from the closet, so I couldn’t use that to avoid my clothes getting the smell.

The decor was cozy and homey, the property was extremely clean and well-managed, the staff was extremely friendly, check-in was quick and easy, and the room was just as great! It's in a great location to explore and walk through town and we highly HIGHLY recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay in New Plymouth and the State hotel. Staff was super friendly. They offered an EV charging station but only had one so we weren’t able to use it the second night. The rooms was very clean and comfortable, but small. The area is very nice with lots of dining and things to do. Downside was there was no lift in the hotel and it was quite noisy at night with loud diesel truck driving around and drunk people singing in the middle if the night. If not for these things would have rated it a 5.

Our room was a little on small side. Once we had our case and other bags in there was no room. I think our room…room 1 … was more for a corporate traveller. We were a couple doing a two week road trip so lots of stuff. The lounge was nice. Good location to walk round town and cafes, restaurants. There were silly little things that didn’t work such as two of us. Two towels, one face cloth, one handprint towel. No milk. Coffee plunger not returned. These things were rectified when we asked. Housekeeping check list?

We were somewhat surprised by the size of our room, considering what we paid per night to stay. Bathroom is very small and ackward to get around in. Thought there would be more space around the bed. Loved the interesting art work and the quaint hotel lounge (echo of another era). The Manager was very helpful and engaging but don't think this represents good value for money.

It was a surprising gem for my wife and I. It had exactly what you could need from a hotel and provided everything in-room that most high end hotels would have as extra...this said, be prepared for the smaller bathroom which was fine - some people seem to want a bathroom bigger than their bedroom for some reason. The rooms were well appointed and really comfortable. We only stayed a night because it was a drive through visit for a wedding BUT would definitely have been happy with a 3 day stay or more. The hosting managers were helpful and great to deal with but the PRICE was by far the catch for us, given some surrounding offerings were not as nice and more expensive. A business traveler or personal trips to regions, its just relaxing and in a central location you have everything at your disposal. We loved it.

It has been restored beautifully with a modern touch on old world luxury. Luke was a great host both greeting on arrival and farewelling on departure. I would definitely stay again.
The State Hotel is in such a handy location in the middle of town. Off street parking is a must in the CBD and Joe's Garage underneath for a great breakfast.

I just had a three night stay at The State Hotel. I had pretty high expectations given the photos and prior guest reviews and I was not disappointed! The hotel has a cool vibe with really interesting/hip art and decor. Everything was new, clean and fresh. Check in was a breeze and I never had an issue finding a (free) parking spot in the hotel parking. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the pillows were fluffy and the bedding was crisp and white. The provided tea/coffee/milk pods in the room was much appreciated. My room was always serviced promptly and the staff I encountered were very polite and welcoming. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the State Hotel and if I came back to New Plymouth, I'd definitely stay here again. Oh, and Joe's Garage (the restaurant attached to the hotel) is excellent. I think I ate there 6 times during my stay lol.

The hotel is really special, it is very well decorated, all the spaces are so pretty, the room is really cute and you have everything that you need with very good quality. The hotel is in the city center very close to the shops, restaurants, coffee shops and all the touristic points. They have a private parking lot that is so convenient.

Great location to explore NP and beautifully appointed. Loved the access to the gym around the corner. I thought it might be noisy being so central but didn’t hear a peep. Hope to return.
