Great stay
Check in to this hotel was simple and efficeintly handled. The rrom was good and clean. One downside tbat was mentioned was being on 2nd level but no lift access. Overall though, a very nice hotel, quiet, close to centre of town. I would reco.mend this hotel to anyone

8/10 Very Good

The property perhaps is not very business stay friendly, it obviously depends on the day but it is very very loud with swimming pool occupied most of the day by loud noises and windows not blocking the noise, it's good if you're here for holidays not if you're here for work and need rest. Also there are no microwaves in Studio rooms even though they have them on photos. Other than that, it's good.

Helpful staff, but the hotel needs to update their website to reflect the accommodation offered! We booked a studio unit with everything it listed but there was no microwave as stated, no bowls or spoons for breakfast. They very promptly sorted it out for us!

4/10 Fair

I have stayed here previously several times whilst in Nelson for work, and it’s always been ok, however this visit the majority of the hotel seemed to be booked out for a school booking, who we so noisy it was impossible to get to sleep at any decent hour and constant noise was very frustrating Maybe if you have a large group of children staying in the future tell guests that are part of that group so they can stay elsewhere, I will not be coming back
