Fantastic motel, well appointed, spotlessly clean, seperate lounge and bedroom - 9super comfy bed) , both with large TV's and only a 5 minute walk into the heart of Nelson. The owner/operators are incredibly welcoming, helpful and friendly. My go to in Nelson, whenever there is availability.

    If you are ever in Nelson then you have to stay at the Palazzo Motor Lodge. Max and Robyn are truly the most considerate hotel owners we have ever met. We are a travelling Drag Theatre Show and the level of kindness, appreciation and help that was shown was a definite highlight of our stay!

    We arrived on an early morning flight and instead of waiting we were able to check into 2 of our 3 rooms upon arrival to the Lodge - and the rooms were exquisite! Great decor, clean, spacious and the bathroom amenities were top notch.

    Definitely will be staying here when we are back for next year for 2 SHOWS.

    - The Ultimate Drag Show

    Robyn and Max are the best hosts, always accommodating and helpful. I have stayed with them multiple times now in Nelson and nothing is ever a worry. This place turned out to be an amazing referral from a friend. Always clean and well serviced.

    Many thanks for taking the time out to write a review. We would not survive, if it was not for repeat Guests, like yourself. Its trying to keep up standards that is most challenging , but we like doing what we do... so again thanks for the Positive review.

    It not difficult to see why this hotel has won tourist industry awards.
    The location is perfect , walking distance to city Centre and excellent cafes and restaurants .
    Max and Robyn are wonderful hosts who gone above and beyond to cater for all your needs including great recommendations for places to eat out .
    Our one-bedroom executive suite was super comfortable altar clean and had a modern decor. It was large with fully equipped kitchen, large bathroom with spa, spacious living room with comfortable couch, worktable, small dining table, large screen TV with access to Netflix and a large bedroom with lots of storage pace and the comfiest king size bed and pillows one could wish for .A second TV was in the bedroom.
    They also have EV charging which was a bonus .
    It all I would highly recommend a stay at Palazzo Motor Lodge for a faultless wonderful stay

    Reception staff were lovely and helpful. Was refreshing being made to feel you were important and not just a number. Beautiful, clean, inviting rooms. Even with the horrible weather the rooms were nice and warm.The corner spa bath was Devine.

    Room tip: Get the room with the corner spa bath absolutely wonderful

    Everything we thought it might be and more. The facilities were clean and there were all sorts of unexpected amenities that made our stay very comfortable indeed.

    Robyn is a master host - and was able to lend us the facility's cycles which made causing around the Nelson waterfront an easy treat. She also recommended a few foodie places which were bang on in line with her recommendation.

    We would definitely return to Palazzo - and although we were unaware of the accommodation before, we could see why it's the no.1 rated facility of its type in Nelson.

    Congratulations Robyn & Max on an outstanding product and facility. Truly impressed - and thankyou.
    Peter & Steph
