Hostels in Nelson Region, New Zealand

Great location, close to the bus stop and the sea. There was a bathroom in the room and bath towels were provided, so it was comfortable. I was happy that I could use the washing machine for free. The woman at the reception was also nice and had a nice atmosphere. New Plymouth is a wonderful city!

A relatively large youth hostel with complete living facilities, but no private bathroom (Ctrip compensated for this). Free feijoa tasting is provided. However, the power supply is not at the bedside, and the parking lot is a bit cramped. Overall, it is cost-effective.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is very convenient. Facilities are good. I did however have a cluster of ants in my room. They were swiftly dealt with by staff within about 5 minutes after reporting. I was grateful for being able to leave luggage prior to check in but a bit disappointed i had to pay 2 nzd to store luggage in a locked on departure for about 90 to 120 minutes. I can understand charges for longer periods of left luggage on check out, but under 2 hours seemed a bit unfortunate. However i would still recommend the YHA for others, although if you want a more ”party” type hostel, this isn't it.

The room has a private bathroom, two single beds, a table, chairs, and a wardrobe; it's fully equipped. The bathroom is bright and spacious. The only drawback is that the boiler next door (or something similar) makes a very loud noise, even during the day. The communal kitchen is a bit small and could be kept cleaner. There's a restaurant and bar downstairs, with a nice atmosphere.

Had a private room which was clean and very comfortable. Cosy too. Only spent two nights but would’ve been happy there on a long trip. The shared areas were great too, especially for socialising. Staff were super friendly. Would definitely stay again.
