Lovely rooms but noisy

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Feb 2023
Rooms at Sails were lovely - we had a one bedroom for couple nights then an executive suite. Spotless, roomy and very well equipped. Our hosts were fabulous too, extrememly helpful.
Can't give it five stars because its on a noisy corner and the we found the traffic noise intrusive. Didn't disturb our sleep as the traffic dies down overnight but gets going around 7am. So if you are noise senstive this is not the hotel for you. Otherwise no hesitation.
Date of stay: February 2023
Room Tip: Dont stay in Room 103 if you are noise sensitive - its right on the corner and gets noise from...

We booked a one bedroom unit at Sails on a road trip around NZ, and were so pleased we did. Gorgeous, well appointed modern unit with big plush lounge/ kitchen, beautiful separate bedroom and a luxurious bathroom. The manager was a delight, welcoming us and taking great pride in her lovely facilities. A substantial continental breakfast was reasonably priced. We only wished we could have stayed longer! Highly recommended.

I cannot fault the Sails. The room was well appointed, immaculate, clean and really well designed - especially the kitchenette that had everything you could want.

The couple running the place couldn’t have been more helpful. Fully recommend

Great location but most important, fantastic rooms (not only were they spotless they are so well designed, particularly the kitchenette), supernice staff, and a fantastic breakfast you can get delivered to your room in the morning. We could not fault the stay. Highly recommended

Stayed here for 4 nights as part of a 6 week NZ tour. We have been to Nelson a few times (great town) but this was the first time we had stayed at Sails (I believe it’s only recently opened). We opted for the one bed apartment and were very impressed with the quality of the furnishings and sense of space.

The owners were super helpful and welcomed us on arrival. With such a great product offering I hope Sails does well.

The quality of the room for the price was second to none. We had the jacuzzi room and i could not fault anything. The rooms were light and bright and great to have a kitchen and comfortable sofa for a change! We did not use the balcony as it looked out over the road but we were out and about most of the time anyway. Great place to stay in nelson
