The ensuite room we had for 3 nights was spacious, clean and comfortable with a superior queen bed. Perfect sleep every night. The ensuite was the biggest i have seen in this type of accommodation. It was also sited privately from the rest of the accommodation. The property was constantly full of clients. Maybe because of this, the weak points were, the kitchen area needed to be managed better that ensured it was hygenically clean and there was a constant supply of clean tea towels. There was no TV anywhere and the onsite parking was inadequate.

Great place 10mins short walk from the centre of Nelson. Staff and management mixed with guests so guest needs were appreciated. Clean and orderly. I would stay there again.

Clean and homely hostel

Pros: Clean rooms, comfortable beds. Chocolate pudding & free breakfasts. I didn't avail of it but the option of a later check out in winter is a great idea
Cons: Availability of staff at check-in/check-out times.
Location: Great location within easy walking distance to the town centre and parks.
Only stayed one night but I found my room very clean and comfortable.
