Top Nelson College Hotel Reviews

Palazzo Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Palazzo is located centrally and within walking distance to the downtown. Our room was neat and tidy and staff were friendly and helpful."

The Sails Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"We had a 12 day stay while attending a conference in Nelson and really enjoyed the Sails. The staff was great, even helping us locate my wife's lost nickers which were accidentally taken out with the used towels! All the conveniences of home. Also, great location for all things Nelson. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed."

The Hotel Nelson

8/10 Good

"Room was nice and clean, staff welcoming. The hotel has a restaurant which was convenient. Breakfast was available for a fee. Parking is also free. Just the location is not that great as it is on a main street. We had a room facing the busy street, therefore, the night was not really quiet. But anything else was fine and it is a good hotel."

Century Park Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great welcome by Harry the owner. Extremely comfortable, nice private deck, super sparkling clean, and so close to town; just a minute or two away. Didn't hear any traffic noise despite it being close to town. Highly recommend this place. We will be back."
