Swiss-Belhotel Napier

8/10 Good
"Our room was as per photos, plenty of space & nice & clean. We had a noise issue which the Staff had us moved to a different room within the hour. We never really used the Bar & Restaurant but it looked clean. Parking was not really a problem as we were out most of the day. Location is good just a short walk into town & beach. Would come back again."
