Fabulous Experience

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Jul 2019
We stayed just one night recently following a small day-stay surgery - as we were from out of town didn't want to travel afterwards. The manager kindly let us have an early check in which gave me a bit of time to relax before heading to the hospital - very much appreciated. The property is spotlessly clean and maintained to a very high standard with many little extra touches. I particularly enjoyed the tea menu with three different loose leaf teas and teapot. The bed was super comfy, and we both slept very well. Breakfast which you order the night before and are delivered to your room next morning, are restaurant quality and should not be missed. We will definitely stay again and thoroughly recommend to others.

I knew the rooms which are really nice; but if you go take the one bedroom apartment; simply outstanding for the price...3 minute walk from central city; service is great; friendly and want to please; cleanliness is outstanding, even passed my dust test which hasn't happened elsewhere since I left the army 20+ odd years ago;

Well deserved 5 star rating; only wished other 5 stars I stay at were so affordable

Room tip: Take an apartment; cost for 5 star quality is less than 4 star rooms in other locations within NZ I commonly stay at

Excellent facilities, clean tidy staff and management are really cooperative and helpful with advice and assistance happy to recommend for business or a holiday. The location opposite the local sports ground is perfect for sports fans and being on the main street of Nelson means many facilities are within easy walking distance such as the best restaurants movie theatre etc.

A well thought out place with nice facilities and a very comfortable bed
A leisurely 5 minutes walking distance to central city.
Mini bar, great shower and a lovely friendly owner.
Some of the rooms are second floor do if you are challenged request ground floor
Decor is very appealing which makes for a comfortable and pleasant stay

Great location, the room was really well laid out, everything we needed of a short stay, very comfy bed, good coffee machine ,the bathroom was small but fine, the host was very informative and helpful. But and for us this is a big one, the road noise is unreal, we had a terrible sleep, the traffic is so load, It was so annoying, I would suggest the owners get triple glassing for units on the road side (which is most)
