A very Nice Hotel
Aptly named Nice Hotel. Quaint and Quirky. Loads of character and charm. Spacious and well set out. Chef provided excellent food. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Handy to downtown New Plymouth. Would stay again if ever returning to the region.
What a find ! Nice hotel is an oasis to relax and recover in comfort in fascinating surroundings and day core. The food is superb served by an imaginative chef and team. My two nights were not enough. Highly recommend
I’d like to say a big thank you to Terry! I sent photos of the rooms to everyone and they all loved how luxurious the rooms looked. Every detail was looked after, and I especially loved the bay window in my room.
Thanks again for an amazing stay :)
I absolutely loved staying at the Nice Hotel, it was a clean and comfortable room. Great atmosphere and the food in the restaurant was wonderful.
If anything the maid wanted to clean the room 1,5 h prior to check out time. If was a someone that wanted to sleep in that would have been annoying, as I was in the middle of a online meeting I had to put people on hold to talk to her. Other than that wonderful.

Beautiful hotel with carefully thought out decoration. Staff were lovely and the food was excellent
Terry was a fantastic host - so welcoming and my parents absolutely LOVED staying there. They had an amazing dinner at the in-house restaurant and have not stopped talking about how fabulous their stay was! Highly recommend and I have no doubt, they will return.
