We stayed at the Nice Hotel on A recommendation from a friend. The hotel is in an old character home that has been extensively renovated and extended so can't really be compared with a more modern building. However the room was beautifully decorated, the bed was very comfortable and it included all the conveniences expected in this class of hotel.... More

We recently had our wedding hosted by Terry and the team at Nice, and our guests all stayed at the Hotel. The set-up was beautiful, the food fantastic and Terry exceptionally helpful. Our overseas guests were particulally impressed with the hotel rooms and service. The garden and deck where we had the service were perfect and the heating (the day... More

Did not what to expect and were very pleasantly surprised - particularly in the view of the name of the Hotel ! - by the whole package. We knew it was in the city centre but it was not very noisy and the rooms were interestingly decorated and well furnished. Food was excellent and the owner had stamped his personality... More

We stayed here and enjoyed a good meal in the restaurant with others and could continue our dining experience to very late. Best part was only had to walk up the stairs to bed. Serves a very good breakfast.

We stayed here two nights on our trip in New Zealand. When we arrived, we were briefly greeted by a staff coming out of the kitchen, who gave us the key, told us where the room was and disappeared again. We had a very spacious and very comfortable room. The only point of improvement was that the noisy fridge would... More

I was in New Plymouth on business and did not pay for this b&B so can't comment on the price but New Plymouth is a sweet town and coming to home and waking up at the Nice Hotel has the qualities of coming home. The food is good, the rooms quirky and interesting and library full of books that are... More

We had so been looking forward to our Easter break at the Nice Hotel. The hotel and its owner Terry had been highly recommended to us. We were also looking for somewhere to hold a special private function later in the year and hoped that the Bistro (Table restaurant) at the Nice Hotel would fit the bill. To start with... More

Will start by saying that the owner Terry is away which may be why things are so sloppy here but our three night stay was a real disappointment. At two hundred dollars plus a night shouldn't have to remind them to refill coffee shower gel etc but that was only start. Turn down service first night only . Despite wording... More

I cannot speak too highly of this hotel and especially its bistro. Don't expect a lavish reception area - just a pleasant Kiwi welcome and rooms which are both well appointed and clean. Everything worked fine and even though some guests might find the roadside room a little noisy frankly the quality of the rest of the amenities makes this... More
