Great historic hotel with lots of character. Our room was very comfortable and well decorated. The hotel is wonderfully quiet but perfectly located to explore Napier. A nice touch was the decanter of port in the library which you can help yourself to before bedtime.

The hotel was unique in its Art Deco decor & extremely comfortable & clean. The food in the restaurant could not be faulted. The standout though was the warmth & professionalism of the staff, particularly Karen who was extraordinarily helpful & pleasant.

Absolutely delightful old style hotel. Our hostess was so welcoming, helpful and friendly. Our room was fantastic - very lush decor with all the glamour of the Art Deco period. Especially loved the gorgeous old library well stocked with books. The provision of some port to drink while relaxing in the large comfortable leather chairs with a book was a real treat. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel, particularly for those who welcome some good old fashioned hospitality. A great 4 nights and would definitely return. Many thanks.

A superb location, and a beautiful historic building. Add to that a very comfortable room and great hospitality, and they have a winning formula. This is a boutique hotel, that doesn’t have every service (eg: breakfasts) but they are very transparent on that, and helpful about finding those amenities. Angela was a wonderful host! And you feel like you’re living in a 1930s Napier art deco world!

The hotel is the ideal art deco experience in the Art Deco Capital of the world. The room was excellent and the bed super comfortable. We especially loved taking port in the library with our fellow guests each evening. 5 stars

My wife and I have stayed at the County 8 - 9 times since 2009. Lovely art deco style hotel. Outstanding meals (try the lamb rump). Staff are just great. Angela is just the most welcoming and friendly hotel owner you will ever meet. Hotel is in the heart of the Napier CBD and across the road from the Marine Parade. Great secure parking across the street. Unbeatable.

This is a centrally located hotel, with lovely elegant rooms that are warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, the hotel cafe was closed for renovations whilst I was trying. But there are plenty of alternatives within a block or two walking distance.
