Wakatu Hotel

The Beachcomber Hotel
4/5103 Reviews
The location is very good. Right next to the beach. It is close to McDonald's and KFC, liquor stores, restaurants, and children's playgrounds. Hygienic and clean. But the room facilities are older. The toilet seat lids are so old they don't look good and won't be replaced. The power safe is in the bedroom, and the sound of the current is loud and harsh. It's fine during the day, but too harsh at night. Said to fix it, but never came. There was no parking space when I went back after dinner. One day, the staff drove away her car and gave up the parking space. Later, when it was later, we tried not to drive. The service staff were very responsive, we had already left and they called to say we had left behind our children's clothes. really thankful.
Apex Motorlodge
4.4/544 Reviews
After staying in the motel from hell in Blenheim, it was very refreshing to come to this lovely little motor lodge, the staff were friendly and very accommodating. No bath in our suit and a little tricky carrying my fat baby up and down the stairs but considering the extra effort they went to, to make me and my sons stay as comfortable as possible it was hardly an issue. My cousin says she stays there frequently and says they always accommodate you and she has lots of kids too!
Admirals Motor Inn
4.2/544 Reviews
The best surprise and the most value for money stay - EVER! Clean spacious and comfortable I will always come back here to stay in Nelson when I visit family. Our host, Fraser is a welcoming combination of Billy Connely and Kojack. Friendly, down to earth, always on hand to make my stay enjoyable. If this review sight had 10 stars I would gladly award them to describe my visit at the Admirals.
Tasman Bay Backpackers
4.4/514 Reviews
Very warm and friendly and welcoming hosts. They went above and beyond in every way to make my stay memorable. For eg. I had traveled over 30 hours before I reached the hostel, my check in time was supposed to be 12 noon I recall (still much earlier than all others who only allow check in at 2 pm). I reached there by about 9 /9.30 am, and to my utter surprise they were kind enough to accommodate me and allowed me to take my room. It made a huge difference to me, given my tired condition then. The next day for some reason I had a small debacle with one of the tour bookings and that threatened that I would have to stay in the hotel instead of checking out if I couldn't go on the tour. They assured me they would keep the only vacant room then available in the hostel for me until my issue was sorted out. The issue got resolved and I went on the tour, but I cannot thank them enough for this gesture, it allowed me to tackle the issue with a calm mind. They also retained my belongings when I went on a trip to Abel Tasman and held it in their storage room under lock and key until I checked in again. The hostel vibes are very positive, the chocolate pudding idea is fantastic apart from the chocolate being delicious, it allows everyone to mingle. Enough wash rooms and toilets, clean place, good drying area. It is an easy walk from the market, more so the walk is a very pleasant one, as the route is nice too. The hostel is in a very nice residential area, so gives a good feel of Nelson. If I go back to Nelson, I would make sure I stay here again.
Bridge Backpackers
3.8/528 Reviews
The location is great, but the cleanliness was a little disappointing. In particular, the room smelled of mold.. There was a lot of stuff on the bed too! But I got along
