Great older hotel - a bit tired in some regards, but a friendly, professional staff clearly makes it work.

Excellent preservation of historic bank turned into hotel. Kept the charming Victorian elements in this Art Deco city. Excellent restaurant (Curchill) with very good wine list.

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.

Great location, close to the CBD. Very well appointed room and great decor throughout the hotel matching Napier's art deco theme. Loved the complimentary port in the library, would buy a bottle if it was for sale. Would definitely consider staying here again next time we're in Napier. Dean & Michelle

The staff were very responsive to issues and our stay most enjoyable. One day I will stay in a hotel that makes it clear that my rubbish can easily be discarded in a recycling fashion - paper, plastic separate..
