I stayed in Nelson for a short time. The location is pretty good. There are NW supermarkets and gas stations nearby. The room is relatively old but the comfort is pretty good Worth staying

Popular large hotel in the heart of Nelson CBD. Perfect for sightseeing the area or business trips. In our case it was a conference being held here. Been here before so happy to return as the facilities are very good. It’s a little dated decor wise but still very well maintained to a good quality place to stay.

Clean, modern rooms in a very good central location. They kept our luggage at no change when we went off on a multi-day track. It's a big, corporate, type hotel, so not much personality, but the rooms and the central location make it a great place to stay.

Dated and tired rooms, keys did not work on arrival. Poor customer service. I had a packet of nuts as they were on the side and looking complimentary. Eventually discovered mini bar list which included the nuts and in fact no items on the side were complimentary The hotel would not remove the nuts from the bill.

Great room, lovely beds cleaning at 5pm unacceptable. We asked at reception at 3pm to ensure our room was cleaned, when we popped back, told it would be done. 5pm as we returned to get washed and dressed for dinner cleaners turned up....spoke to duty manager no help, told they could do it now....no you can't I'm getting ready....told they finish at 6pm ! Disgusting money saving ploys. Do not recommend if staying more than 1 night. The whole of our floor on my trip had the sane ploy..... Will not recommend to distant journeys for future trips.

Great location, Staff were lovely, place was dated but tidy. Dinner Restaurant is still closed due to covid. The main reason for the down review is I had booked with a voucher for the first night that included breakfast. I asked for 2 more nights and expected breakfast. When I checked in, I validated it was but when we checked out was told not the case so we paid $69 (2 pax) per day for an avg breakfast that had we known we would have gone elsewhere and paid less. Mgr on duty would not budge or even apologise. Disappointed as I would have rated much higher

A nice welcome Manage getting on coach to welcome us, then when we went in hotel no where to be found, our coach driver Peter had to distribute room keys, then a long wait for the lift as one out of service. Not as much choice at breakfast as I would have liked, fruit salad mainly apple and orange, tiny bits of melon and pineapple. Toaster ineffective bread went through it three times and it was same as it went in.

Lovely hotel with lovely helpful staff. It is a little dated (chintzy) in communal areas, but I think the hotel is being renovated. The hotel room was great, comfy beds, great air con and good choice of TV Chanel’s and daily house keeping. I was dubious to eat breakfast after reading reviews on here but we gave it a try. I’m glad we did, it was lovely and a good selection. They’ve obviously sorted it out, we ate breakfast at the hotel 4 Mornings. Only a couple of things I think they need to look at updating, but not detrimental, just for improvement is an efpos or Apple Pay system, it’s the first hotel in NZ we’ve stayed in who hasn’t had it. Also, we were charged for someone else’s dinner in the restaurant on check out. The receptionist checked the hand written paper receipts and it was room for room 502, not our room 802. Handwriting systems are a bit archaic and can cause issues like these. Other than that, we had a great stay and would definitely return.
