YHA Nelson, hotel in Nelson

Located in the heart of Nelson, this 5-star hostel features free WiFi, shared kitchen facilities, spacious dining area and a sunny garden with a courtyard BBQ.

Friendly and helpful staff were very proactive and accommodating with our large group. We had our own kitchen and dining area to meet in. They also rearranged rooms to meet our needs. The location is great in the center of Nelson, right next to grocery stores, shopping, and the Saturday Market. Everything was kept impeccably clean. Thus was the best hostel we stayed in New Zealand! They were also very helpful in arranging outings for everyone. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

    Such a beautiful place, comfortably located between the ocean and the mountains, feels like you are at a fancy resort! We visited in August, but the weather was amazing, they say it is the sunniest place in NZ. I would strongly recommend a free (!) tour to Pic's Peanut Butter World - you get to see and learn how the most delicious peanut butter is made, a story of its birth and growing, as well as free peanut butter tasting, freshly made right in front of you! And don't forget to stop and have a look at their shop downstairs and stock up on smooth or crunchy or smoochy (that is smooth + crunchy) deliciousness 😋😋 The best coffee in town is at a place called Someday Somewhere, best coffee and best egg and bacon muffins! There are a few wineries in the area, and lots of interesting shops. I'd recommend to stop by at the Broadgreen Historic House, surrounded by a marvellous rose garden. You can walk through the rooms and read or listen to some interesting facts and stories about the purpose of the rooms, the way of life back in the 19th century. The house is well maintained and offers a great variety of furniture and decoration pieces from that time as well as fashionable clothes items and gruesome details about the fashion trends back then. Such a chilled vibe throughout the city! And the locals are so friendly!

    I have never been to Nelson before and thoroughly enjoyed it. Such a beautiful part of the country and so much to see and do. The Tasman Regional part is stunning as is the scenery north towards Blenheim and marlborough.

    Beautiful city being the gateway for the most stunning scenery and beaches. A must to visit, especially Kaiteriteri and the Abel Tasman. Easy to get around and great cafes and eateries throughout the city and Tasman areas, especially Mapua, which is a real gem.

    Just an awesome city with stunning nature all around and very laidback and friendly people. I would love to visit again. We went to Able Tasman national Park and loved it. There are endless stunning walkways and water all around.

    I can recommend Pomeroy's Cafe.on the opposite side of the Square for their delicious matcha laites. Nelson's many art gallerys are enough to satisfy the most avid art lover with the delightful, meandering walk out through Queens Gardens to Nelson's Suter Art Gallery and cafe, always a highlight.

    The room was nicely appointed and tastefully decorated. The bathroom was spacious with a decent sized shower. Tea/Coffee/Milk were supplied as well as a selection of cups, plates etc suitable for a short stay. There was a small work desk and table inside, and a table with chairs outside. My daughter left a necklace in the room which she realized once we'd left Nelson. The hotel staff were very helpful and were able to find this for her and arranged for it to be couriered to her.

    A very interesting option within Nelson. The hotel is part of a bigger resort area with a the feel of a classic European village. We stayed on two separate occasions, before and after a multi-day trip through the Abel Tasman national park. The staff enabled us to take our room keys after normal check-in time. The rooms vary a lot in size but are always clean. A big plus is the proximity to Nelson airport, we were able to walk there with our luggage and could thus avoid the taxi fair.

    The hotel was fabulous. Close to town, great little balcony overlooking the river and the room was very comfortable, especially the bed so had a great sleep all for a very good price. All the staff were friendly and efficient when we interacted with them. Will definitely be back next time we come to Nelson.
