Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful. The rooms were warm, comfortable, and amazingly clean, equipped with a comfy bed and a lovely spa bath. The location was perfect, with easy access to restaurants and cafes. The staff were incredibly helpful and cheerful, going above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The dining experience was nice too, with delicious meals delivered right to my room. Overall, a great value for money!
The hotel is a real gem in Nelson, offering spotless, well-equipped rooms and fantastic service. While the location is ideal for exploring the city center, the proximity to the street can lead to occasional noise disturbances. However, the knowledgeable staff and thoughtful touches like great coffee and loose leaf tea truly enhance the experience.
