BUG Review
Enter this stylish hostel and take a step back in time; it’s set in Napier’s largest Spanish Mission/Art Deco style building, an old hotel that opened in 1932. The lobby is nicely restored, with big red couches and lots of great period details on display, including great windows and fireplaces. There’s also an excellent kitchen, a dining room and a small separate TV lounge. Rooms are good-sized, if a little bit more tired than the common areas. A downstairs bar and café, “The Cri” caters to backpackers, but gets lots of local action as well, and is a lively and popular place right in the centre of town. It is a unique place.
