YHA Nelson - Backpackers

YHA Nelson - Backpackers

📍 59 Rutherford Street, Nelson
★★ 8.2 (27 reviews)

"I was honestly disappointed at this hostel. The room smelled bad and the bed was uncomfortable, not enough many showers and toilets, shower pressure was bad and you could hear everything through the walls. Also it was cold in the room (there was a heater but it was very old and smelled like burned). Also definitely not the most social hostel. During my stay there was some sort of school groups taking over the common kitchen areas for their meetings and meals even though we are all paying to use any kitchen we want. Wifi was a joke. Only good thing was the good location in the center."

Rutherford Hotel Nelson - A Heritage Hotel ★★★★
"I visited the hotel directly the day before to confirm the reservation, but the hotel said the reservation was not accepted. I think there was some mistake on Trip.com. It is hard to trust. I finally got in touch with the staff in Korea and they resolved it well. Thank you to that staff. My family was very satisfied with the hotel. The staff was friendly and the facilities were good. It was old, but not disappointing. I used the sauna in the hotel, and it was really nice for the first time in a long time."
