We chanced upon City Close Motel purely by accident. The unit was very clean, tidy, and for a 3 night stay over a long weekend, this worked out well. It is a 3 star property, basic, but comfortable with TV, stove, microwave, fridge , off street car parking, and laundry facilities. Bedside lamps turned on / off by touching them... More

We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment that has definitely seen better days. The furniture dates back to the 1960s/70s and is quite a shock to someone who is younger than that. The standard of cleanliness was ok and the receptionist very friendly.

Very close to town and supermarket. Clean and tidy units even though there dated. Nice to have a fan in the room for those hot nights. Could have done wiith a information booket in the units with details of things to see and do.

The motel is close to the centre of Napier. The hosts were very friendly and we were given fresh milk on checki-in. There is a reasonable kitchen area in the double unit. We found the place rather dated, especially the shower room. However, it was fine and clean. The unit was quite tight for space. The motel was busy as... More

Forget about luxury, flashy decor and all that. The strength of this motel is not based on that. Instead, it is based on cleanliness, proximity and comfortability. The motel is run by a lovely old couple Ken and Kathryn, some of the most friendliest and accommodating Kiwis I have ever met during my 2 weeks trip. Talk about the room... More

The rating for this motel is above average. We stayed in a double unit (8) which was spacious, clean with good cooking facilites. A slightly older property with very friendly hosts and within walking distance of everything you want to do in the CBD. The room rate was slightly inflated due to it being 'the Rod Stewart' weekend - but... More

My last afternoon and night in Napier prior to flying home to Perth WA was very restful in this spotlessly clean Motel. Very central to CBD and Marine Parade. I will certainly recommend same.!

Excellent value motel, very handy for the CBD & sea-front. Bit dated, but spotlessly clean. We had 3 adults in a 2 bedroom unit, and we had plenty of room to be comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

I stayed here over New Years for 2 nights. I stayed in Taupo for 1 night before coming here and our accomodation in Taupo was absolutely terrible and I was so nervous about things being the same here as I didn't read any reviews before booking accomodation over New Years as it was a last minute decision to go away....
