Criterion Hotel Napier

Criterion Hotel Napier

8/10 Good
"Clean room, lovely style. Close to everything you need. Kitchen in room (although someone in another room burnt something and we had a 6:45am evacuation on my last morning) but no staff on site to help guide that. Receptionist tried to charge me when I had already paid via Expedia beforehand so that was a bit annoying. But would def book again."
