Found this hotel last minute as our plans changed so we only used it for sleeping, but the check-in/check-out process was easy, the staff was helpful, the room was clean and the beds comfy. That was all we needed at that time.

Everything was clean and sparkling, obviously a lot of care had been taken. Great interior, well put together,the photo doesn’t do it justice. Sheets were pure cotton and so comfortable as was the bed We liked having the toaster , the water bottles in the fridge and chocolates a nice touch. Frendly hosts.

    Nelson has a lot of speciality stores and a lot of food options. The Markets in the weekends are not for those looking for a bargain but do support local and NZ made and although some were costly, there was a lot of selection of goodies. Stoke the Bach Restaurant was staffed with lovely young girls, and the food was excellent and value for money The Arden Monaco where we stayed has limited room facilities and is not staffed outside of working hours, but the beds are comfortable and with very dark woodwork old paintings and very heavy doors, the facility was well equipped with heat pumps and hot water.

    Loved the friendly people, very creative and arty outlets, and artists, lovely eateries and markets, lots to do and see. We unfortunately got caught in the bad weather and were stranded for two more days - would have been great, but too wet and flooded to do anything else. Not Nelson's fault though! - We will be back to pick up where we left off!

    Lots of great restaurants, some with water views. Beautiful gardens (Japanese, botanic, chinese). Assessible to wineries and outdoor activities. Bike hire at airport (Nelson Cycle Hire) was excellent to enjoy some of the Great Taste Trail with amazing scenery. Pic's Peanut factory tour really good.

    A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees

    A beautiful city. Lots of lovely trees The city centre was lovely even in the pouring rain. Great bus service. We obtained a Bee card and used mostly off peak so very economical. Lovely buildings, parks, museums to visit, and of course the cathedral. The Saturday market was great. Great beach and waterfront, lots of short walks in city(Paddy's Knob, Centre of NZ) Also a good base to head off to walk Abel Tasman

    Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 304 reviews
    The only good thing about this property was that it was quite close to the city centre and other places like the Christ Church Cathedral, the Centre of New Zealand monument and a few other places. However, since one would drive to Nelson anyway, anyone can make that drive from anywhere else even stayed out of town, so this place was absolutely not worth it.

    Lovely well presented motel. We had the garden suite and can imagine in summer that it would be lovely to sit outside and enjoy the space. Nice that the room had its own sky box too - don't even get that in some 5 star hotels.
