Nelson hotels near Queens Gardens

Pros: The property is in a great location and very handy to the city centre and good restaurants. The room was an excellent size and the bed was super comfy. It was great having a kitchen to make toast etc for our sons breakfast.

Cons: It was expensive

Pros: Well equipped, modern, clean & convenient location. Would stay again.

Cons: Bathrooms with glass shower doors are better. Ours had a curtain but we accept it was for mobility purposes that we didn’t need.

Pros: Location was great, such a tidy and comfortable room!

Pros: The location of this motel is excellent, and it is extremely clean, well-maintained, and comfortable.

Pros: For sure a very nice place, but not the nr 1 in Nelson for us. The parautane lodge deserves to be nr 1 In all aspects

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great hosts, I arrived late but my room was all ready & cozy for me. Clean & had all the comforts I could want.

Pros: Everything was excellent. I was extremely impressed. I would recommend this place to anyone. I received a very warm welcome from my hosts.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: the property was accessible,walking distance to town centre. the room was clean, they had a good customer service.

Cons: nothing.

Pros: As hostels go, this was ideal. Clean kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Great value for money. They have a WiFi free hour so that people actually talk to one another in the living area which I think is spot on. Would highly recommend and stay there again. Both members of staff were helpful without asking. Great!

Pros: Friendly helpful service. The management is so helpful and kind nothing was too much. Amazing atmosphere.

Cons: The stairway to access top floor very steep

Pros: Very friendly, helpful and dedicated staff, absolutely clean and neat rooms (I stayed 3 nights in the private ensuite), and a nice free breakfast which is uncommon for a backpackers hostel!

Pros: Service is outstanding. Friendly helpful team

Cons: Other guests spitting repeatedly in the kitchen sinks where the dishes are done

Pros: Free chocolate pudding

Cons: Not a place to get sleep. We had a Queen Ensuite. The kitchen was on the other side of our bathroom. As it is not closed at all, people were cooking and partying all night. No staff member around. One can hear each drawer being shut and each dishes that is cleaned within the bedroom. Could not get any sleep, very disappointed.

Pros: Car parking was good Reception staff very helpful and friendly Spacious room! Good tv. Felt safe and sound there without the high price tag!

Cons: Not much!

Pros: Great location & excellent view over the waterway for sunset / happy hour drinks. All staff were professional from reception to breakfast kitchen staff. Thanks Sally :) Evening staff went out of their way on a very busy evening to get us into the Restaurant THANKYOU Tommy :) Rosemary who was on waiting staff for the evening was very pleasant & said when she didn’t know something about ingredients on the menu...honesty always best option in my humble opinion & better than bluffing your way through. Go Rosie now you know about delicious Chai flavoured pumpkin pie. Thanks Chef it was Yum!! We will be recommending to all our Australian friends visiting Nelson in the future Joan W :)

Cons: Nothing except I didn’t like hearing the magnificent gum (Aust Eucalyptus) out on edge of waterway may be removed to make way for the new deck!! Do as we do and build the deck around it. Your guests and the birds especially the beautiful Kingfisher will appreciate it forever. It’s estimated at least 28 species of birds alone use large old trees such as this and they are truly irreplaceable. It also takes approx 150- 200 years for trees such as this to form hollows that are suitable as nesting sites for birds and bats etc.

Pros: Good location

Cons: We had a room with a kitchen. This was well equipped. The downside was the room and balcony overlooked the car park. We asked to move as would have preferred a better view and not the kitchen. This wasn’t possible. Also, dinner finishes at 9 but they also close the bar for drinks and snacks then. You can get room service though.

Pros: The bed was great!

Cons: The noise, next door and below were both very loud

Pros: Position in city

Cons: Our request for a downstairs room was noted but later erased. A view of the carpark from upstairs was not what we thought $A229 would have secured for us.

Pros: love the location, the facilities and the staff.

Pros: Checking in and out was a breeze, great location, comfy and spacious room would definitely recommend staying here

Pros: Roomy, private balcony area, clean, easy walking distance to town. Very helpful friendly staff, quick, well organised check in and check out.

Cons: At first couldn't get a car park within the hotel lot but the receptionist sorted this out for us.

Cons: Old and run down, despite newish carpet in room. Beds were the worst ever. Couldn’t sleep all night as the bed was way too soft and squishy. Pillows were also bad. Like a cheap hotel. Find another place.

Cons: Awful uncomfortable old worn beds. Poor breakfast.

Pros: Amazing staff and service.

Cons: Beds are not the best quality.

Pros: The customer service was excellent.

Cons: It didn't find that is was value for $ the rooms a dated and bed is rather old the whole place could do with a real do over. I think the amount you pay you shouldn't have2 tell the staff you would like bed sheets changes it should be general practice. And you shouldn't have 2 pay $5 each for room service either.

Pros: Space, staff and excellent restaurants included.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Room was large. Bed and pillows super comfy. Japanese restaurant is incredible - food amazing!

Cons: Very expensive for what I got. Wasnt a fan of the tiny TV. Smoking area was tiny and in the middle of an outdoor staircase. Had a staff member get yelled at in front of me in the Japanese restaurant for sitting customers 5 minutes early which I thought was a huge over reaction and also unprofessional.

Pros: The breakfast buffet was very good with a wide selection available. The hotel location was excellent, very close to the centre of town. The two restaurants in the hotel were top notch and all the staff were extremely courteous, efficient and helpful.

Cons: Every was very good and acceptable. We didn't see any faults or downsides.

Pros: if you have to stay at this hotel, request a room with a view of the church. Also, the hotel was clean and had nice shampoo.

Cons: In the 2 weeks that we spent traveling throughout NZ, we have had wonderful accommodations with the Rutherford being the exception. This hotel does not belong in the luxury category, although by the decor and age of the bedspread (yes, I said bedspread) and bed linens perhaps it once was. The lobby is stale and lifeless even in high season. Customer service was poor. And the very worst part, THEY RATION WIFI DATA!! Good luck browsing the internet to plan your activities, email friends and family back home or share your photos on social media!!

Pros: Clean, nice rooms, good bed lining, really good shared spaces.

Cons: The morning shift receptionist was nice, but the evening one was not, it felt like she was doing me a favor . The showers were hot or cold not in between, and the top bunk bed was really low so the bottom bunk was tight. And most important- free parking is 5 minutes by walk at “paru paru” road. There’s free parking between 17:00 pm and 08:00 am.

Pros: Colourful rooms. Fresh bread. Central location

Pros: Location, friendly staff

Cons: Noisy on Friday night

Cons: Very quiet. If you look for some fun not really good one

Pros: Location is close to transit stop

Cons: My sheets were dirty, the beds were awful, the woman behind the front counter was less than friendly, WIFI DOEST WORK

Pros: Value for money, the location

Cons: The noise of the hand dryers in the toilets going late at night - they need to be removed as they are very noisey.

Pros: Free bread, firm mattress

Pros: I stayed in a single room with a private bathroom, a nice room view. It was very valuable on money for such a short break.

Cons: Dirty rooms and bathrooms:/ bedbugs bites my boyfriend!://///

Pros: The staff is just amazing and hanging by the pool is so nice

Cons: The sheets were crusty

Cons: If you want to party and stay up late, this is the spot for you. If you want to actually sleep and feel comfortable with clean spaces, choose somewhere else.

Pros: Comfy bed

Cons: Showers and toilets were not very clean. Hair everywhere.

Pros: Beds are comfortable although the first mattress I slept on had broken springs. I told the manager about it and he seemed to take it seriously. Location is walkable to town. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Pool and spa are a bonus. James is really knowledgeable about Abel Tasman and really helped plan my trek.

Cons: Staff blast music in the morning while cleaning the bathrooms which sucks when you're trying to sleep. They can also be lazy when cleaning, for instance my room wasn't vacuumed two days in a row. Way too many long term residents who have taken all available space in the kitchen and fridge. Not enough tea towels available to dry dishes, the ones hanging smell terrible. Wifi doesn't reach the rooms in the outhouses. Low water pressure in the showers, most of the shower heads are broken. Water never quite gets hot, always stays lukewarm in the shower; twice I've had to take a cold shower. Not enough toilets for the number of people staying. Parking is a major issue; the lot is very small with only a few places that some staff have occupied.

Cons: A lot of drugs in this hostel so if that's something that bothers you I would stay away. We were kept awake until 2am with people talking / shouting in the common area which was right next to our room. The place itself was nice but I wouldn't say here again because the long term people are off putting

Pros: The price for a double private room is outstanding!

Cons: The backpacker might be cramped for taller people
