We didnt realise we could have requested a groud floor bedroom. It was tough as an 80 year old lugging three cases and various other items up the stairs. I looked for a lift but couldnt find one. Otherwise apart from the inside of the bathroom door which needs some attention it was ok.

The room is spacious and looks modern, but as soon as I stepped in with my partner, a putrid smell lurked the rooms.i informed the receptionist about the smell and she just told me that it's the standard smell of all rooms. (Gross) and I then told her, the receptionist, that if she can get me a spray or something to mask the smell. She never came back. Horrible service. Like atleast have the decency to come back. I felt unwelcomed, and ripped off.

I stayed at The Hotel Nelson for two days during Boxing Day. It is very close to the center of Nelson. It only takes about 13 or 14 minutes to walk to the city for meals. The check-in/out speed in the hotel is very fast. The facilities in the room are very complete, including an induction cooker for cooking, basic tableware, and a hair dryer in the room (but the wind is not strong). There is also a swimming pool in the hotel. It is very comfortable.
Nice stay at the hotel Nelson! You’ve got all the equipments including induction cooker, dishes and utensils, nice water pressure for shower, really nice staff. Would recommend to anyone want to stay in Nelson for trips!

The hotel is still far away from the most important urban areas
The room is a bit large, and some of the equipment/appliances look dated, but the facilities are complete and the heating is very warm.
It’s beautiful to watch the stars at night
