Top 10 The Mayfair Hotels

Had a wonderful stay at Porters - lovely room, king size bed, with everything you need, and a small private balcony. Perfect part of town, so close to everything, undercover parking included. We found the staff to be absolutely top notch, so welcoming and happy to do absolutely anything to make your stay as good as possible. In particular, we'd like to compliment Christopher, who was so helpful and kind. On the nights we were there, the restaurant wasn't open for breakfast, so we were given vouchers to Maina nearby and it serves about the best breakfast you could find anywhere! Basically, this is a great hotel, they're doing everything right.

First place the best. It's in the middle of the city and just across the road is the spa and the sea. The rooms are okay, and the downside is that there is a little noise in the morning as it is right behind the main road.

The hotel is by the sea, the balcony is on the sea and the scenery is beautiful. There are many coffee shops nearby for breakfast and there are plenty of bars. The rooms are the right size, clean and tidy, with microwaves and cutlery for a light meal. It is a little far from the city, but if there is a car, it will be 15 minutes.

The staff at the hotel's front desk are friendly and the rooms are very clean. It's about a 10-minute walk to Napier beach. The scenery along the way is very beautiful and it's worth recommending.

We stayed one night before flying to Wellington. Check in was a breeze, the staff was excellent and we loved the art deco features in the hotel. The rooms were renovated with the bedroom having lots of art deco style but the bathroom was more modern - which we appreciated. They hid a power cube with usb ports, which was helpful. Parking was one block away and east to get to. You can’t beat the location for waterfront access and shopping nearby. Some good dining options as well. Only downside is Napier goes to bed early.
