Best Hotels in Nelson

Tides Hotel ★★★★
"The room is small. It's fine for a day or two. The service is good, and the location of the restaurant is especially convenient."
The Prince Albert Backpackers & Bar ★★
"Food was absolutely delicious could not be faulted. However, the waiting staff were inhospitable, and the 2 women at the counter unfortunately were inadvertently bad mouthing their third colleague, whom was on her lunch break. It’s a great shame that they felt the need to do so, loudly and in front of myself and another table of 2, they really let the side down. Hopefully they see this, and might perhaps refrain from ill speaking in front of customers at the very least next time."
The Hotel Nelson ★★★★
"Good choice for our family. Nice, clean, convenient location."
Palazzo Motor Lodge ★★★
"Brilliant place, very big room with a kitchen as well. Absolutely great after hours service as well. We arrived late and told the hotel before and the reception still came out of the back room to help us and recommended us with great spots to go visit and great dinner places as well. Had too short a stay at this place, will definitely come back for a longer visit. They even have a bathtub!!"
The Beachcomber Hotel ★★★
"The location of room and of hotel was great. Was able to park our car right outside room. Pool was a surprise, warm and great pool area. Only down side was a mistake by the staff who entered our room in the morning when we were still in the room, but we received an apology for this. Would definitely recommend it to family/friends."
Bridge Backpackers ★★★
"Great location, close to the bus stop and the sea. There was a bathroom in the room and bath towels were provided, so it was comfortable. I was happy that I could use the washing machine for free. The woman at the reception was also nice and had a nice atmosphere. New Plymouth is a wonderful city!"
The Sails Nelson ★★★★★
"A very pleasant stay, very friendly management, impeccable cleanliness, we'll definitely be back! José and Caroline"
Rutherford Hotel Nelson - A Heritage Hotel ★★★★
"Environment: Located in the city center, it is very convenient for sightseeing and eating around. Service: The staff is warm and thoughtful. Historical hotel, it should have a certain reputation in the local area. Air New Zealand flight attendants also stay in this hotel, and I also met other pilots when I came here."
Nelson City Top 10 Holiday Park ★★★★
"Very friendly, very clean, helpful, absolutely recommended."

Tahuna Beach Holiday Park

Balmoral Motel
"Arrived late at night, the kind landlady patiently waited and guided warmly, the room was very clean, the kitchen utensils, tableware, coffee pots and other arrangements were well arranged, the facilities were all available, the bathroom was spacious and bright, and the five-star praise!"
Arrow Motel Apartments
"Great central location with restaurants and shops nearby. The room and bathroom were very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Onsite parking was also available."
ASURE Fountain Resort Motel
"We have stayed several times at Asure Fountain Resort Motel, so always head there when in Nelson. The owner Cobber is very helpful & has the place spotless. Lovely rooms, good layout, close to beach & not far from downtown, plus Riccarton shops. Plenty of activities in close proximity, for everyone. Would thoroughly recommend."
Kings Gate Motel
"We booked a 2 room cabin, the place was quiet that was nice but the place wasn't clean a dirty oven try left in the oven! Plates with crumbs on them! The bathroom fan didn't work so the cabin was super super damp, no soaps or shampoo dispensers were all empty! The bathroom and toilet door didn't close properly or quietly. The main bedroom must have a leak somewhere it rained on the last day and the carpet in the morning was super wet along the window. Couches were uncomfortable feels like it pushes you head forward and the TV had no Internet connection to watch Netflix like advertised. The place is very run down and needs a really really good clean! The accommodation was close to town and quiet. I wouldn't recommend this place spend an extra $100 and stay somewhere else"
Ah House Nelson City B&B
"WOW, wow, and WOW! Don't look any further! Just book here! You won't be disappointed. I can't say enough about the AH house, Nelson City B&B. Wonderful accommodations. We stayed in the Garden apartment, and it was lovely. Big comfortable bed with the nicest sheets and pillows along with a cozy bed warmer for those chilly Nelson evenings. Our hosts Mark and Bruce left no stone uncovered and provided everything needed for a wonderful stay including the coziest robes to wear. Coffee and creamer were also provided so upon waking we could make our own cup of French press coffee. Nice touch. The garden apartment has a beautiful private deck to sit on and enjoy the beautiful garden, complete with whimsical ornaments and gorgeous pottery sprinkled throughout. The garden is like looking at an artistically done garden canvas. AND, if that's not enough, they provide a wonderful, yummy, homemade breakfast in the dining room. The table setting is so beautiful you'll feel like a King or Queen! Mark and Bruce are the perfect hosts and there's a reason they get so many awards for their B&B. I give it a 10 out of 10! But book early. We recommended it to a couple we met while traveling, but sadly for them, it was already booked."
Tudor Lodge Motel
The Honest Lawyer, Ascend Hotel Collection
"Food in pub great service excellent"
Bella Vista Nelson
"Handy location to airport and Tahuna beach a big plus Some good pubs and cafes for coffee and food nearby No air con which would be handy in summer Nice friendly staff"
Saxton Lodge
"This was the most disappointing hotel of the trip. I requested a quiet room when booking, but ended up with a room right by the road, and there were even mosquitoes inside. They advertised a kitchen, but it was already locked by 8 PM. After some negotiation, they opened it, but I couldn't find any knives or forks. I just wanted to peel a pear, really."
Chelsea Park Motor Lodge Nelson
"Beautiful large one bedroom unit, very clean, has two TV s(one in bedroom). Large bathroom with a spa bath, good shower. Kitchenette has everything you need for simple cooking. Bed is comfortable, electrical blanket is a plus. City view from balcony and mountain views from front verandah are very pleasing. Lovely friendly host lady makes our stay even more enjoyable. Location is central as well, easy drive/walk in and out. Loved it. Highly recommended."
Admirals Motor Inn
"Easy to travel, clean and hygienic,"
Amber Court Motel Nelson
"Excellent stay in a great location - friendly hosts, very comfy bed and wonderfully clean. Car park right out front of my room as well which was really handy. My only suggestion is for the rooms to have sheer/privacy curtains, as there is a big sliding doors and windows that are only slightly tinted, so people can see into your room if they are walking past, so your only option is to close the curtains for privacy and block the sunlight. All in all, a great, no fuss, easy stay. Ask for a room away from the road or bring earplugs."
