AustraliaChocolate pudding and ice cream gives a great chance to chat to other travellers. Nelson is also a nice mini-city and the number of travellers extending their stay shows it’s a decent place to stay

South AfricaThe staff are so lovely and helpful. I had a made a mistake of booking a weekend late. With just just one easy phone call they were able to assist me in 10 minutes. The kitchen area is so spacious and stocked with all the necessities. Bathrooms are clean some with a hairdryer. They have a lovely board which states the weather and activities available in Nelson throughout the week of your stay. If you you’re a walker it’s not very far from spots like Centre of NZ or the waterfront. Lovely calm sounds played in the eating area.Friendliest staff !

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

- Avg. price/night: US$65.60Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very good - What previous guests thought, 888 reviewsThe hostel is in a great location being pretty much in the centre of town, and the main bus interchange is less than a five minute walk. The staff were excellent and the facilities were generally clean and well-maintained. The common areas were quite big and spacious which was nice as hostels often tend to have somewhat cramped common areas.Guest review bymblonkersSolo traveller
