Amazing stay.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 May 2024
Our stay in Nelson was made even more special by staying at Palazzo motor lodge. I can not recommend Palazzo more, every thing about this place was excellent. We actually extended our stay and will return next year.

The bed was SO comfortable, with electric blankets. A heat pump, heated towel rail and equiped kitchen added to the overall excellence.

The location is within less than a 10 minute walk to the centre of town, to the super markets, river, restaurants etc.

The proprietors Max and Robyn are both friendly and welcoming. As are their staff.

Highly recommend the Palazzo.

    I have stayed at Palazzo many times. It is constantly very good. Rooms are clean as and well priced.

    Highly recommended. Well positioned close to the Nelson CBD like a 10 minutes walk.

    The owners are very protective and absolutely good hosts.

    I had a very enjoyable experience at this establishment. The staff was very accommodating and allowed me to check in early.

    The room was exceptionally clean and well-organized, and the television provided a variety of movies for guests to enjoy.

    The Palazoo is a fantastic hotel. This was our fourth stay. We are normally in Nelson for a week at a time; so we spend a reasonable amount of time here.
    I have stayed in several hotels in Nelson (and most are good). I have also been lucky enough to have traveled quite extensively for a living, staying in hotels as part of my job. The secret to a good hotel is not getting it right once, but getting it right consistently.
    Max, Robyn, and their team get the small details right. The rooms are cleaned properly, well maintained and the service is at a very high level from all staff.
    You won't get better, it's that simple.

    Room tip: Brilliant location close to shopping restaurants and bars
