Scenic Hotel Te Pania

A fantastic hotel great rooms with a wonderful view conveniently located. The bathrooms could use an upgrade our shower curtain had seen better days and the polyester duvet inner could have been inside a cover or replaced it was pretty old. Improvements could be made to the in room amenities also the old plastic jug could be metal and the coffee tea bags were pretty terrible. Instant coffee would be better and perhaps more than two and fresh milk other than UHT. Service differed from person to person some were very freindly and helpful others not so much the apples on offer were a nice touch would've been nicer if they were local and not American very weird. All in all a great place to stay with some Improvements this hotel could be truly amazing. Would definitely return.

My four-night stay at Scenic Hotel Te Pania was amazing. The staff I encountered are all friendly, helpful and attentive. The Ocean view in my room is breathtaking, especially the sunrise! I dined in the restaurant a few times and the food are amazing. Thank you Nirjal the Restaurant Manager and the team for such a great experience. The dried flower was a nice touch too. I love the ambiance of the restaurant, it feels warm and welcoming. The property is very well managed. I will definitely rate my stay 5 out of 5!

Our Scenic Hotel experience was awesome. The place has great location because it is close to restaurants, and almost all tourist areas like Ocean Spa, War Memorial Museum, National Aquarium NZ, MTG Hawkes Bay, etc. The hotel also surprised us with small token for our wedding anniversary celebration. Also delicious buffet breakfast and quite ample parking space for free.

The hotel is on the front in Marine Parade so perfectly positioned. Rooms are nice clean and modern with good sea views especially on higher floors (5 & 6). Facilities are limited but there is free access to the Ocean Spa gym opposite and a small cost to use the lovely pool (lido). Staff were welcoming and one minor issue we had was sorted without fuss. Plenty of on hotel parking which is free. Would stay here again.

This was a perfectly fine stay but the hotel definitely has both pros and cons. On the plus side, it's located on Marine Parade, an easy 5 minute walk to the main streets and just across the beach. There is free parking for hotel guests at the back of the hotel too, which is great. Staff were friendly and helpful too.||On the not so great side, the hotel could use a bit of a refresh as it's a bit dated. It was the first time I've seen a shower curtain and anti slip map in a shower for quite a while now. But while it's a bit dated, it is very clean so that's a big plus.||Noise was a bit lof an issue too. Despite us being on level 6, we still got a bit of noise from the road. So if you're a light sleeper do consider that.||Do note that there is only so much parking available so it's first come first served. We came back one afternoon and all parks were taken, so grabbed a free 2 hour parkimh spot at the front of the hotel in the meantime, but kept looking out for someone to leave and then pounced on the free spot. Oh if you're in Napier on a Sunday parking in town is free which is very helpful.

Ive been travelling to Napier for work for the last 9 years. Why didnt I come to Scenic Te Pania before now? I thoroughly enjoyed my stay from check in, to room service, to check out. The room was the sort of haven I was very happy to remain in for the rest of my stay - no need for dining out. I will definitely be back.

The staff were beyond helpful, they were kind, attentive, and especially accommodating for someone with extra needs re: disability. Being so close to the water and walking distance to many main strips of shops gave us plenty to do and explore. The coffee was delicious, the food (beer battered fish, grilled chicken and risotto, panko chicken schnitzel) were divine and perfect portions. The whole place is so well maintained, clean and comfortable. Again, I must mention the staff who were all so absolutely wonderful, friendly, compassionate and truly the backbone of Te Pania. Would absolutely stay again and would definitely recommend to anyone coming to this part of NZ.

I had a truly wonderful stay at Scenic Te Pania Hotel in Napier. From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless – the accommodation was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed, making it easy to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. What really stood out was the food – absolutely amazing! I had the best steak meal I’ve ever had in a hotel, cooked to perfection and full of flavour. The dining experience alone would bring me back. Overall, Te Pania delivered on every front – great service, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Napier!
