YHA Nelson by Accents

It's alright.

Awesome accomodation - clean, friendly and welcoming. They run a tight ship - room was great, reasonable pricing, very safe, in the middle of the city, only 50m from the bus terminal (quick and efficient from the airport) HIGHLY RECOMMEND - we will be back !

I was honestly disappointed at this hostel. The room smelled bad and the bed was uncomfortable, not enough many showers and toilets, shower pressure was bad and you could hear everything through the walls. Also it was cold in the room (there was a heater but it was very old and smelled like burned). Also definitely not the most social hostel. During my stay there was some sort of school groups taking over the common kitchen areas for their meetings and meals even though we are all paying to use any kitchen we want. Wifi was a joke. Only good thing was the good location in the center.

Nice, big hostel with courtyard, good communal area and piano! Well situated and lots of helpful information available. I had a bunk in the all female 7 bed dorm. Room was light and airy, had a sofa and the bed was comfy.

Great hosts, tidy clean rooms and great kitchen facilities. Central so close to all of the shops, restaurants and supermarkets. Lots of information available about activities you can do in Nelson. We checked out at 10am but didn't fly out till 5, we were able to have our luggage stored securely during the day.

For two consecutive years we have used this backpackers/motel as a place to get back between tramps in the region. The facilities in Central Nelson are of great value for money and kept immaculately clean. The staff is very helpful and able to point out great spots to eat, arranging taxi rides and flexible when bookings changed due to unforeseen circumstances. This is a quiet place to live and sleep. While we were away we were able to leave our luggage in their store room at no extra charges. The showers had plenty of hot water and towels were provided for free. There is a roomy kitchen and a lovely lounge room, and fresh bread is provided on a daily basis. And due to its vicinity to town there is plenty of good eateries within walking distance from the accommodation. We were thankful being able to get a discounted taxi fare to the airport through the motel reception. When back in Nelson we will certainly know where to come to to get a good nights sleep at great service and a very fair price. Thank you very much Royce
