The Hotel Nelson ★★★★
"My husband and I spent one night here in transit between hokitika and Picton. Location was fairly central. The reception were very accommodating and helpful."
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."
Bridge Backpackers ★★★
"I had a great stay at Bridge Backpackers in Nelson for a few days. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and had a friendly atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and the location was excellent—within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the InterCity bus stop. A great choice for budget travellers, and I would happily stay here again."
YHA Nelson - Backpackers ★★
"Amazing hotel"
The Beachcomber Hotel ★★★
"Nice place"
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!!"
Tasman Bay Backpackers ★★★
"Great social hostel with great staff!"
The Prince Albert Backpackers & Bar ★★
"The room has a private bathroom, two single beds, a table, chairs, and a wardrobe; it's fully equipped. The bathroom is bright and spacious. The only drawback is that the boiler next door (or something similar) makes a very loud noise, even during the day. The communal kitchen is a bit small and could be kept cleaner. There's a restaurant and bar downstairs, with a nice atmosphere."
Delorenzo Studio Apartments ★★★★★
"The amenities were very complete."

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!"
ASURE Fountain Resort Motel
"We drive up from Chch to Nelson to visit my grandma and decided to stay at ASURE fountain. When we arrived there was a lovely young girl at reception who checked us in, we chatted for a while and she took the time to explain everything to me and answer the questions I also had. There is a car park outside each room which is great! Our room had 2 bedrooms, beds were extremely comfy, kitchen, sofa and dining table. The heater was amazing and warmed the whole place up! My daughter loved the small playground down the back! I can’t think of anything I can complain about! We really enjoyed our stay with you guys, thanks for having us! We will for sure be back ♥️"
Arrow Motel Apartments
"We personally didn’t like it that much. It was clean which is imported of course but it was all really old and dark."
Bella Vista Nelson
"Best motel we have ever visited! Room was spacious and clean and with all the amenities you need. The owners were really friendly, super helpful and service-minded. We have been travelling around in New Zealand, and this stay was definitely one of the best."
Tudor Lodge Motel
Arcadia Motel
"Very nice room, well-designed, spotlessly clean, quiet, comfotable, well equipped with everything we need. Most important of all: very friendly and helpful host."
Century Park
"Very friendly and warm reception, very well equipped and clean accommodation."
The Honest Lawyer, Ascend Hotel Collection
"Comfy facilities. Awesome shower with excellent pressure. Was surprised to find they were hosting a blues festival, which we enjoyed. Would stay again."
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."
Amber Court Motel Nelson
"Practical for a stay, clean and has everything you'd need. Found the owner trying to get in our room while we were still there and then returned from an outting to find her in there again seemingly annoyed about having to vaccuum (we had young children which I had informed her before we showed up). We left a day earlier than planned and paid for because we just did not feel comfortable or private. Would not recommend for more than a day stay."
Admirals Motor Inn
"Easy to travel, clean and hygienic,"
