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.

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 :)

Lovely Hotel

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.
