we booked a pool view room with a kitchen... our room looked out onto the carpark. the reception was happy to move us to a river view room but once moved we discovered that it didn't have a kitchen? we returned to our original room. The room was close to reception, restaurant and bar and was very noisy. The gap around the door was very large allowing lots of light from the hallway to shine directly on my face for the entire night... I am sure that with the amount of light coming through the doors would not be fire safe!!! The windows would be better if they were double glazed and the door sound proofed..

Hello Guest, Thank you for taking the time to leave Trailways Hotel Nelson a review. In regards to your stay, we did our utmost best in complimentary upgrading you to a superior Riverside Studio room... You, however, chose to stay in the poolside room which had a kitchenette. We apologise that the pool was not directly outside your room. The pool is viewed from the door of the Kitchenette rooms & only 4 metres from the balcony door. Please don't hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards Toby M Management

Have stayed at railways before. I like a good shower in the morning which our room had. Would like to mention the walls between rooms are very thin.woken when neighbour arrived early in the morning. The property is right in town so very close to restaurants and shops

Most motel beds are very hard. For a tall person with broad shoulders, the bed was very comfortable.
