What People Say About our Hostel
An amazing stay, lovely staff and atmosphere!!The hostel had everything you could need and everything was really clean. There were two kitchens so plenty of space to cook and there were lots of spaces to eat and relax outside of your room. The staff were amazing and went above and beyond, I've never stayed anywhere where there was so much help with booking taxis, organising bikes, looking after our luggage and just general friendliness. Would definitely recommend for anyone staying in Nelson, it felt like a five star hotel stay!!Trip Advisor testimonial October 2021
