    Great location, cheap, clean and tidy. You get what you pay for.... value for money. Perfect for a quick visit to Nelson

    Only really stopped here for a night and I was exhausted from a day at Abel Tasman, but it seems like a cool place. Very social thanks to the adjacent pub, and the dorms are all set up around a courtyard to maximise human interaction which is nice.
