The Beachcomber Hotel
4.1/5107 Reviews
Tahunanui
The location is very good. Right next to the beach. It is close to McDonald's and KFC, liquor stores, restaurants, and children's playgrounds. Hygienic and clean. But the room facilities are older. The toilet seat lids are so old they don't look good and won't be replaced. The power safe is in the bedroom, and the sound of the current is loud and harsh. It's fine during the day, but too harsh at night. Said to fix it, but never came. There was no parking space when I went back after dinner. One day, the staff drove away her car and gave up the parking space. Later, when it was later, we tried not to drive. The service staff were very responsive, we had already left and they called to say we had left behind our children's clothes. really thankful.
Apex Motorlodge
4.4/547 Reviews
Tahunanui
After staying in the motel from hell in Blenheim, it was very refreshing to come to this lovely little motor lodge, the staff were friendly and very accommodating. No bath in our suit and a little tricky carrying my fat baby up and down the stairs but considering the extra effort they went to, to make me and my sons stay as comfortable as possible it was hardly an issue. My cousin says she stays there frequently and says they always accommodate you and she has lots of kids too!
Admirals Motor Inn
4.3/548 Reviews
The best surprise and the most value for money stay - EVER! Clean spacious and comfortable I will always come back here to stay in Nelson when I visit family. Our host, Fraser is a welcoming combination of Billy Connely and Kojack. Friendly, down to earth, always on hand to make my stay enjoyable. If this review sight had 10 stars I would gladly award them to describe my visit at the Admirals.
Tasman Bay Backpackers
4.4/517 Reviews
This is a really nice hostel. We stayed in a private room but used the kitchen, laundry and dining area. Enjoyed the chocolate pudding. The description of the Backpackers is very honest. We could hear a bit of noise from the kitchen which was near our room but is was just a gentle chatter or clatter. It didn't disturb us and I actually don't mind mild background noise. Like living somewhere with other people moving about. Was quiet late at night. Laundry charge was quite modest and less than another Hostel entity charged when I stayed there in 2019. There was some wear and tear such as a leaky tap in the kitchen, but very clean. Stayed 3 nights and would stay again. They had a small bus so they might pick up people by arrangement but I am not sure as we had use of a car.
