Our stay at The Nautilus in Napier was distressing. Slippery, unmarked tiles led to us slipping injuring ourselves. The bathroom flooded, soaking our belongings, and staff refused to take responsibility, offering no assistance. A used cigarette was found in the kitchen cupboard. Management was rude, swore at me, and refused compensation, We spent the night unable to use the bathroom. This experience was traumatic and unacceptable.

Reception shut early at 8pm so if you had booked - and there was no mention of this when booking - it was a major drama to get checked in especially when the rude receptionist yells at you on the phone and demands a copy of your bank statement to prove that the bond taken off the card you provided wasnt stolen. A huge language barrier, so much that she had to text you her questions. Never ever have I been subjected to such rude behavior
