Great location to Nelson shops. We had an issue getting into the hostel as they ask you to call reception, however I did not have a cell phone plan to call. I emailed the hostel and did not recieve a response. We eventually were able to get someone's attention, however it would have been easier if a door code was emailed to us prior to our check in time. On the flip side of the coin, this place is very secure :) ##### Jamie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Bronwyn 4 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities While overall everything was clean and comfortable, it would be good to see the kitchen food storage boxes wiped out between users. ##### Bronwyn Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ginia 6 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a great stay over Christmas then again after new year. It was a bit strange being away from home at this time but the hostel staff made a big effort to make it fun with a lovely party. The common areas are great with loads of space and equipment to cook and relax. It’s very close to the bus stop and local restaurants. They kept our bags for us while we walked the Abel Tasman track. The hostel has a great vibe and we will be returning when we finish our trip around the South Island. ##### Ginia Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Niki 24 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Have stayed here before and wasn’t terribly impressed. Read something that said it had had a facelift so thought I’d try again. However still think it is very tired and could do with further upgrade. Great location and lots of potential .. ##### Niki Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Benedikt 7 Jan 2025 Liked: Staff & service We had a private double with ensuit, which was nice after a week camping. The room was quite dark and not renovated as the "main" house. Kitchen is big enough for multiple parties preparing food, but only one stove was heating properly. You can leave the bag if you stay with them before and after doing a Great Walk. The "free surprise breakfast" was not served, so all in all a bit expensive for a dark private room. ##### Benedikt Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Samantha 15 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I spent two nights in a 4-bed female dorm. Pros: - Excellent communication - Easy after-hours check-in process - Clean showers and toilets - Sink in dorm - Personal power outlets and lamps at each bed Cons: - No fan in room; room got very warm - Bedbugs C ##### Samantha Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Emma 6 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Good value for money. Property is old and needs a bit of maintenance, but generally is clean and comfortable. My main annoyance was how much sound travelled from the courtyard into the room, even just the sound of other rooms opening and closing doors, walking up and down the stairs. So once everyone was up preparing for their early Abel Tasman departures, it meant I was up too. But in the grand scheme if things, this wasn't really a big deal for me. ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 25 Apr 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Bed bugs… I stayed here for two nights and everything seemed fine. The staff was very kind during check-in ans the kitchen was very clean. When I got into my room, it was well kept as well. I did not like the shower because the step was so high to get out (it’s fine going in, but when you forget and going out, I almost fell - 20Litre backpack for reference), the light was also responsible for the fan which made such a loud noise but worst of all, I found three bugs on my pillowcase throughout the duration of my stay. I mustered my courage and killed them and figured I would be able to pass the night but a little time afterwards, I have itchy bites all over my body, it’s horrendous! I told a staff member and showed her my photo as I was checking out and she seemed concerned as she had deep cleaned the room just a few days prior. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6005562A05CEC8F953CA19B0BEEEFCF56F9C37EA1714062650903.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5C95FF727166C94AFE5428866324388C316F535E1714062650194.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire 1 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A great place to stay and so handy to the bus station ##### Claire Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### ed 25 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Ideal for back packing, really nice area ##### ed Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam 14 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was a great place to stay in town so you could walk to basically any shop you liked staff where friendly and help full the whole time we stayed ##### Sam Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynda 28 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities staff was the best and vibe was great ##### Lynda Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 18 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I loved that there was a guitar there that I could play! ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Reykjavik Residence Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Reykjavik-Residence-Hotel.h4099809.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Atlantic Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Atlantic-Beach-Resort.h200340.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Newlands-Cross.h2191510.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Kolkata](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kolkata-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Kolkata.h890428.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Warmwell Holiday Park Ski Slope](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warmwell-Holiday-Park-Ski-Slope-Hotels.0-l553248621555784721-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Anchorage Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Anchorage-Hotel.h3741079.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Scarborough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scarborough-Hotels-Hotel-With-Free-Parking.0-0-d5680-thotelwithfreeparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Calpe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calpe-Hotels.d6034540.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Utrecht City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Utrecht-City-Center-Utrecht-Hotels.0-n553248633981744175-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [HiltonHotels Hotels in Bicester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bicester-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d179915--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Worcester Foregate Street Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Foregate-Street-Station-Hotels.d6042321.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Italiana Hotels Florence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Italiana-Hotels-Florence.h7698.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Casino Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-Casino-Studios.h20165195.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mathios Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Hotel-Mathios-Village.h1417340.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Belfast (BHD) to Aberdeen (ABZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhd/abz/belfast-to-aberdeen) > > [Flights from Orlando (MCO) to Vero Beach (VRB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mco/vrb/orlando-to-vero-beach) > > [Flights from Corballis (DUB) to Salt Lake City (SLC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/slc/dublin-to-salt-lake-city) > > [Flights from sitia airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/jsh/flights-from-sitia-airport) > > [Flights from Frankfurt (FRA) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/fra/nrt/frankfurt-to-tokyo) > > [easyJet Luton (LTN) to Palma de Mallorca (PMI) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/easyjet-from-luton-to-palma-de-mallorca/u2/ltn/pmi) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Le Touquet-Paris-Plage (LTQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/ltq/birmingham-to-le-touquet-paris-plage) ### Cars > [Van Car Hire in Gibraltar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Gibraltar.d66-tVan.Car-Rental-Destination-Class) > > [Car hire in Newton Aycliffe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Newton-Aycliffe.d5648.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Indiana Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Indiana.d216.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Hamberg Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamberg.d3000754293.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General ---
