The Dome Boutique Apartments

The view from the room was spectacular. The beach was across the street and the walking path went for miles. The room itself was nicely appointed and very comfortable. Our host was very responsive and helpful. She even made a dinner reservation for us. The location of the Dome made it possible to walk to most everything we wanted to do/see. The lounge area and laundry were also big bonuses. Good value for the cost and we would stay here again.

We stayed in the dome eight years ago and thought it would be a great place to stay agin , however we were quite disappointed with what has become a weathered and well worn room. The room had stains on the floor wire sticking out of the wall broken slats in the door holes and chips in walls all over the place not quite what I would expect for a premium accommodation stay at $570 a night, Outside there was mould growing along the walls and generally the place had a run down well used vibe to it not sure I would stay there again for that sort of money. Then there was an issue paying for the room that seemed very strange .

Wonderful light through flow to ceiling windows in the Cape View Penthouse. Lots of room, fully outfitted kitchen. Dining area with table that seats six. Centrally located. It is good to note, the town is very quiet in the early morning hours and after 7pm, so being located on the main road is not a problem.

Always so clean and tidy. Nice people to deal with and so close to great cafe's and waterfront. I stay here for 2 nights each month. I keep coming back so obviously rate it. Cody is such a great host. A very friendly and professional young man. Nga mihi

I recently stayed at The Dome Boutique Apartments, and unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by a serious breach of privacy and security. One evening, another guest entered my room using their key, mistakenly believing it was their own. When I raised this concern with the hotel, their response was both dismissive and disappointing. They initially blamed me for leaving the door unsecured without conducting a proper investigation. Despite their assurance that no other guests or apartments could access my room, video evidence (which I provided) clearly showed otherwise. The neighboring apartment (#2) was keyed identically, allowing the other guest to enter my room without issue. This incident highlights a concerning disregard for a fundamental aspect of hospitality: ensuring the safety and privacy of guests. The hotel's failure to acknowledge or properly address this breach, coupled with their lack of accountability, is deeply troubling. If privacy and security are important to you, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. The dismissive handling of my concern, despite clear evidence, has compelled me to leave this review.

Luxury accommodation with uninterrupted ocean views. Perfect location in the city, close to restaurants, bars and shopping. Everything you need for a relaxing stay in Napier. Parking was the only issue, but luckily there is a 15 minute loading zone out front.
