    We started with a very good 'winter' rate then on arrival they upgraded it to a balcony and spa for no extra charge. Staying another night was easy.

    Was a last minute booking and we were happy with it. Nice view from the balcony, though you are right on the street as well. Room was clean and comfortable and good value.

    "Wow! Booked a studio, but got upgraded to an ocean-view apartment at Hotel Nautilus Napier! Stunning sunrise views right from our window. Spotlessly clean, modern amenities, and friendly staff. Perfect location near Marine Parade. Highly...
