The staff was really friendly and super helpful, they helped me to figure out some stuff for my next stop on my trip. The facilities were clean and the place has this pleasant and cosy vibe where it feels nice to just stay and chill for a day. Every evening, they offer tasty chocolate pudding with ice cream which is the cherry on top!

Great hostel. We had a private room with shared bathroom and we felt almost like in a hotel. Highly recommend that place.

The bed was very comfortable and we were warned about the noise which wasn't too bad Apart from that we totally enjoyed our stay.

The hostel is in a great location being pretty much in the centre of town, and the main bus interchange is less than a five minute walk. The staff were excellent and the facilities were generally clean and well-maintained. The common areas were quite big and spacious which was nice as hostels often tend to have somewhat cramped common areas.

A warm welcome and friendly staff at the hostel, which is cheap for Nelson. The kitchen is good and there's some nice outdoor space. Our room was in a second building, which was well-sized and with a shared bathroom/shower, which worked well.

The patio is very nice. Everything you need as a backpacker is provided. I liked the vibe of the hostel. I didn't go to the pub.
