At East Pier Hotel, travelers highlight the superb seaside location in Ahuriri with lovely ocean views, easy parking and access to trails and Napier, alongside modern, clean, comfortable rooms and generally friendly, helpful staff.
The on-site restaurant receives praise for tasty meals and attentive service, though a few guests found the menu limited, prices high, the sports‑bar setting not to their taste, or the bar and restaurant closing earlier than expected. A few reviews note weak shower pressure, occasional noise from nearby guests or the restaurant, minor maintenance or housekeeping lapses, and a delayed check‑in. Expect a scenic, convenient base with mostly comfortable stays and warm service.

Ahuriri is a small boutique village 5 minues drive from the Napier CBD. East Pier in Ahuriri offers a lovely location with the rooms having ocean views with free on site parking. Studio room was spacious and the bed so comfortable. On site restaurant is ideal for those who dont want to venture out for all their meals. There are plenty of good restaurants, cafes and bars in walking distance of East Pier or you can drive into the CBD (5 minutes) if preferred or to one of the many wineries around the district. Check-in and check-out was easy. Staff were friendly and helpful. On site storage for bikes was ideal for us, as were the handy bikes trails.

We booked a room that was a titled "Family Suite that has 2 bedrooms". It was for 3 of us including my elderly father. The room was not a suite, just 2 adjoining studio rooms with door between and no separate bedrooms. One thing that mostly decides if I like a place or not is the qualify of my sleep. My room my wife & were in, had 2 beds and a total of 8 pillows. These were all very fat pillows & as I would rather have a thinner pillow, (my Father thought the same), it was very uncomfortable trying to get some sleep. The beds are impressively thick, but offer little back support, so my back is suffering. The place has a restaurant & bar, apparently good, but we were shut out of it mid Sunday afternoon for staff training & the restaurant closed to guests for the night, (room service available). If you are running staff session on mixing cocktails & only a couple of guests left in the bar, why not offer a complementary cocktail. On returning to our rooms on day 2 (stayed 2 nights/3 days), found one of our rooms unserviced, they embarrassingly got it serviced, but failed to empty the bathroom rubbish bin. The privacy lock on our bathroom was broken. With no seperate bedrooms, I was unable to sit up late & watch sport on TV as I had hoped. I'm still trying to figure out a snacks charge on my bill which I've paid for. If I stayed there again (probably unlikely) I would just order 2 rooms seperately & get myself the very best room they had for myself & take my own pillow.

Modern, attractive accommodation in an excellent location right next to the sea. Lovely views and fast access to walking/cycling trails. Rooms are clean and attractive. All have a balcony. We did not eat at the hotel as there are many good, local options. It is a good price point and works well for visiting area attractions if you have a car.

Our check-in was delayed in the reception - not fault of the adm in lady, but.... it was dissappointing considering we had plans that afternoon - and that wait time chewed into what we had hoped to have time to do. The room (ground floor with 'ocean' view) was lovely, the bed super comfy, the view to the inner waterway (not ocean) was good enough. Bathroom was a good size but the shower pressure was very poor. Good to get 4 towels even though we didn't use all of them. Kitchenette was small but functional for our one night needs. The night was long - party time for the guests close by on their balcony - they talked really loud right till 2 or 3 in the morning. No fault of the hotel, but it would have been nice to have had a phone number to ring to get someone to tell them to shut up! A long sleepless night. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant so can't comment on that.

Our room was nice, there was not enough toilet paper or towels, as well as needing to ask for more, the book with instructions was hard to read due to being old and it would be more convenient if the room had a sink. Also the sliding door in the bedroom was covered in seagull poo, didn’t make for viewing out, also the guests down below in the restaurant early were extremely loud, difficult to sleep through, overall a good stay

Our check-in was delayed in the reception - not fault of the adm in lady, but.... it was dissappointing considering we had plans that afternoon - and that wait time chewed into what we had hoped to have time to do. The room (ground floor with 'ocean' view) was lovely, the bed super comfy, the view to the inner waterway (not ocean) was good enough. Bathroom was a good size but the shower pressure was very poor. Good to get 4 towels even though we didn't use all of them. Kitchenette was small but functional for our one night needs. The night was long - party time for the guests close by on their balcony - they talked really loud right till 2 or 3 in the morning. No fault of the hotel, but it would have been nice to have had a phone number to ring to get someone to tell them to shut up! A long sleepless night. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant so can't comment on that.

Ahuriri is a small boutique village 5 minues drive from the Napier CBD. East Pier in Ahuriri offers a lovely location with the rooms having ocean views with free on site parking. Studio room was spacious and the bed so comfortable. On site restaurant is ideal for those who dont want to venture out for all their meals. There are plenty of good restaurants, cafes and bars in walking distance of East Pier or you can drive into the CBD (5 minutes) if preferred or to one of the many wineries around the district. Check-in and check-out was easy. Staff were friendly and helpful. On site storage for bikes was ideal for us, as were the handy bikes trails.

Modern, attractive accommodation in an excellent location right next to the sea. Lovely views and fast access to walking/cycling trails. Rooms are clean and attractive. All have a balcony. We did not eat at the hotel as there are many good, local options. It is a good price point and works well for visiting area attractions if you have a car.

We booked a room that was a titled "Family Suite that has 2 bedrooms". It was for 3 of us including my elderly father. The room was not a suite, just 2 adjoining studio rooms with door between and no separate bedrooms. One thing that mostly decides if I like a place or not is the qualify of my sleep. My room my wife & were in, had 2 beds and a total of 8 pillows. These were all very fat pillows & as I would rather have a thinner pillow, (my Father thought the same), it was very uncomfortable trying to get some sleep. The beds are impressively thick, but offer little back support, so my back is suffering. The place has a restaurant & bar, apparently good, but we were shut out of it mid Sunday afternoon for staff training & the restaurant closed to guests for the night, (room service available). If you are running staff session on mixing cocktails & only a couple of guests left in the bar, why not offer a complementary cocktail. On returning to our rooms on day 2 (stayed 2 nights/3 days), found one of our rooms unserviced, they embarrassingly got it serviced, but failed to empty the bathroom rubbish bin. The privacy lock on our bathroom was broken. With no seperate bedrooms, I was unable to sit up late & watch sport on TV as I had hoped. I'm still trying to figure out a snacks charge on my bill which I've paid for. If I stayed there again (probably unlikely) I would just order 2 rooms seperately & get myself the very best room they had for myself & take my own pillow.

Loved the location - view of the ocean, lots of lovely cafes nearby, right by the beach. We were in room 1, which was on the end downstairs and nice and quiet. Decent-sized, clean rooms. Loved the walk-in shower! The room had cutlery, utensils, crockery and microwave which was handy. Plenty of storage space. Easy parking. Bar and restaurant onsite so option for room service too. Would happily return!
