Relaxing, comfortable”
The city of Paihia is a rather small town. So the fact that Scenic Hotel bay of Islands was not located in the center of town was not a minus at all. You can reach the town center in ten minutes on foot, and the hotel is quiet and peaceful because the bars, and backpackers are not too close. The huge room had two comfortable queen beds so my teenaged son could share the same room comfortably. Everything from bed linen to bathroom products were of good quality. And the staff were very friendly and attentive. The brakfast buffet wasn't very impressive, but overall a very pleasant stay.

Excellent value all round”
We initially booked for only one night, but decided to stay for 4 and make this our base for exploring the Bay of Islands to the north and east. The room was not big but quite comfortable, with a small balcony that overlooked the garden. Being a standard room, it had no aircon. Instead it had a ceiling fan which was so high up that it was useless. The pedestal fan kept us cool but was a little noisy. Good modern bathroom also with a very nice range of organic toiletries. The hotel had good facilities for the price (restaurant, internet and pool) although of these, we only used the internet. We liked that the hotel was at the southern end, just out of the centre, but still an easy walk to the cafes, activities and shops. The staff were pleasant and attentive.

Great Place To Stay!!!”
This was the second time we have stayed here. This time we upgraded to one of the new King Size Deluxe rooms and we were both impressed by the improvement over the standard room. Very well equipped modern room, great KS bed and a quiet location. The Scenic Hotel is the perfect place to stay when exploring the Bay of Islands.

well equipped hotel with everything you need ”
we were there for 2 nights in paihia and were provided with great well thought of service by the staff. as we did not want to eat in the hotel, the staff provided details and personal recommendations for food around the hotel (which proved to be excellent!) rooms are decently sized and comfy with everything you need.

Relaxing stay”
We were here for 3 nights as a relaxing break towards the end of a 6 week NZ holiday. We wanted quiet , comfort and proximity to the promenade without being in the thick of things. Paihia is quite small anyway and has a semi-exclusive feel. The hotel was perfect - fresh, modern on the edge of town but only 5/10 mins walk from cafes/restaurants and shops. Staff were excellent...always smiling, always helpful. Pool was fairly small but only visited by a handful of guests. Whilst we didn't eat there, the restaurant looked very nice.

Great room and hotel, but lack of view”
the room was very modern and well furnished and styled. bathroom too appeared new and nice. the only thing lacking from this hotel was a view from the room. however, this was made up for by it being a short 20 minute walk to town, or a 5 minute car ride. although restaurants in the area are very expensive, being able to be at the bay of islands is a great treat.

Tastefully furnished”
Pleasantly surprised by the standard of furnishings, decor and cleanliness for the excellent promotional price. Almost home from home with quality bath & body products. Location also good i.e. a minute or so from the beach/ bay and max 10 mins to the main ferry point. Reception also extended my check-out by 30-40 mins having slept-in and forgotten the early check-out times.

Lovely hotel ”
luckily to have a room at g/f or otherwise need to carry the luggage upstairs. free upgrade to deluxe room. room looks very very new and very very tidy. continental breakfast is just fair. location is good if drive but requires 5-10 walk to paihia city centre.

Large rooms and good location”
We really enjoyed our stay at Senic Hotel Bay of Islands. There was a short walk to the beach and the room was large and had two queen beds. We stayed with our 2 young and very active sons and were happy to have a little patio that we could sit on - and read and enjoy a little wine on while they slept. Although it seems as if they have quite a few "older" clients, they were great for kiddies too. Just wish they had a pool!

Lovely hotel with fantastic food & location”
myself, my partner and his father all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel. our rooms were enormous and had a fantastic view overlooking well kept gardens. the location was great as we were only a 5-10 minute walk from the coast, our dive shop and the main high streets. the room was very kept, tastefully decorated and it was great to see that there were also encouraging environmental awareness too. the swimming pool although small was well looked after. we paid for a delicious buffet that included roast meats, salad, vegetables and superb selection of desserts. the service was professional and efficient. we did ask about local restaurants one evening but did not receive a very detailed reply.

Scenic View hotel let down”
I feel I was misled by the hotel name and blurb on the website. i thought i had a 4 star hotel with a view of the bay, instead I ended up looking at trees 5 metres from my room door.it was a hike with bags to even get to the room ( # 802) I wouldn't really want to stay there again . teh fridge didn't even work well, dripped water and the fridge area was overun by ants. Price I didn't care about , just something with a bit of luxury and a view. this hotel met neither,sorry.

Convenient good standard hotel”
Good spacious room, decent breakfast, small pool, close to what you could do in Paihia. Recommended if your looking for a reasonable priced and comfortable standard hotel. Would stay there again if we went back to Paihia.

We were happy with our room and the facility. The booking was confusing, but the hotel made good on our interpretation of the accommodations and the amenities. It was very convenient to town.

Enjoy the peacefulness”
I chose this hotel as it has a good name and looks new on the website. It turned out just what I had expected, new and clean. There are ample parking as well. Will be back no doubt. I had to put a tick to continue the survey so I put 3 in food as I did not have food in the hotel this time and could not give comments.
