Review of Tides Hotel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 7 Oct 2023
Loved the big room didn't like the cheese board but had an awesome time. Had the bar bring up wine and food. The cheese sandwich took half an hour to arrive but they had made it fresh and omg it was so yum

Hi Polly
Thank you for leaving us another review! We appreciate you taking the time. Apologies regarding the wait time, this was ordered early hours of the morning, and we only have one staff member on overnight to cook and also assist with checking in guests so we appreciate your patience, Glad to hear it was worth the wait. Thanks again Elesha

Just finished delicious lunch! Great generous cheeseboard, super coffee and mum had baileys sundae and I had sticky date pudding , very indulgent but needed a “pick us up” and we had one. Service from Carelyn was warm and efficient. Thoroughly enjoyable

We stayed two nights while our daughter was in hospital. The staff are wonderful and made our stay- at very stressful time- very pleasant. The rooms are well kept and clean. We stayed a night on both sides (river and car park) and found noise and comfort was not an issue even though it was clearly a busy booked weekend. We ate all our meals in the restaurant and enjoyed every one. Being close to town was a bonus.

The experience overall was fantastic. The service at the front desk was great, the room was clean and tidy, and the room service food from the kitchen was sublime. We enjoyed a great view of the river and Nelson City behind it. The only very slight disappointment was the couch which was not in great shape.

Room was nice. Weekend price for a room was too expensive considering you only see the river during high tide , mostly see mud and river rock. Meals were ok. the restaurant staff were excellent and made you feel welcome. No room amenties such as toothbrush,etc. Would stay again if price remains at the weekday price as when I arrived on Thursday, otherwise too pricey for what you get.
