Great welcome, everyone was very friendly. We were shown around which was nice. There is a bar and they serve meals, money off the meals if you are guests. OK parking around the back, easy to find once you know where to look! Good sized room, blackout curtains which we appreciate, and comfortable bed so we slept well. Good sized ensuite, everything was clean. Only pain was not having a sink plug, which makes shaving a chore. No hairdryer. No TV in the room but there is a communal lounge area. We arrived late and left early so we cannot really comment on it's location.

The kitchen is tiny but well equipped, there is two of everything including kettle, microwave and oven, but only one large fridge. Everything looks a little worn out, and it is disorganised. No room to move once six people decide to cook at the same time. I recommend eating in the bar instead!!

The six-bed dorm was quite cozy, with large, comfortable beds and a clean private bathroom. The location is good, the hostel has a pub and a café (although the latter was closed when we were visiting), and among common areas, there is a relax room with a large sofa, TV (with Neflix!), books and puffs.

The single bathroom in the dorm is a bit difficult to share with six people. We saw there was one guest bathroom in the dining room that could be used by everyone - if there were other bathrooms available, we were not made aware of that. Also, the kitchen is very small and always very crowded.

Behind mirror has a lighter ? Room 8 .noise floor door slaming at 12 -3 pm ? No sound proof windows need updating bright light in hall way shines through room every thing else is good parking need updating for room space but it's good and easy to get around close too town but it's very easy to get to the air port only 10 min 😀 super happy amazing rate 90%

The staff were friendly and efficient on check in and when I checked out. I could come and go when I liked for the whole stay. There is a carpark on site, Bar and Cafe in the vicinity. It wasn't expensive and clean. There is a bathroom attached to each dorm room. If you don't mind different people coming and going and feel safe, I had good roomies even though I was out early and back late 🥰

🤔🤔🤔 there wasn't anything to dislike..everything went well and my roomies were fine.

We booked a private room with 2 single beds and were comfy and washroom clean and functional. Nice that room had a window for fresh air. Staff were freindly. Good location short walk to downtown and close to botanical gardens. The pub food was excellent

Kitchen needs more cutting boards and sharp knives, more fridge space and a freezer would be nice too

Cafe to the left, restaurant and bar to the right, all under same roof. Staff super friendly and helpfull. Food and drinks amazing. Our room with own bathroom suited us. Queens Garden within few minutes walk, town 15 minutes walk. Great location. Very busy pub with coldest beverages

Pillows needed replacing Was muggy, had fan on which needs a good clean with dust settled on it

Very friendly staff and nice location. The benefit of the pub downstairs is that you down have a go somewhere else for a delicious guinness and something to eat, the downside is that it's a bit noisy at night when people are still having a drink outside. But they made sure people are more quiet after a certain time. Bed is a bit narrow, but comfy. Room was very clean Would definitely come back!

WiFi wasn't working, staff tried to fix it immediately and called the service, without success. It's not their fault and they were very eager to get it to work again, but that was a bit annoying during my stay

Really excellent value for the money. Absolutely no frills, nothing luxurious, but the room was more spacious than I expected for the amount I paid. I didn't spend time in the hostel area, but it looked like people were hanging out there and being friendly, so a good place to meet fellow travelers.

There's no AC, and it got warm at night in January. The walls were a bit thin so I could hear someone talking on the phone in the hallway. But for a hostel, it was much more tranquil than most. Nelson is a pretty sleepy town -- I had trouble finding a coffee shop that was open for breakfast on a Sunday. The bar/restaurant at Prince Albert is only open for dinner.

Great value for money, room was big enough, beds clean and comfortable. We had a private room with it's own bathroom which was good.

No air conditioning, a fan in the room might be helpful as the room was quite hot and stuffy, even at night so we had to leave a window open. Hot water took ages to come through in the bathroom, was starting to think there was no hot water (cold shower!) then started getting hot just as finishing shower. No way of making hot drinks in the room, have to go down to the shared kitchen, may be nice to have this option in the private rooms?

The staff were absolutely fantastic! Really helpful and a good chat. The common areas were great, there was foosball and hammocks and books and Netflix. All the guests there at the time were so nice and keen for a chat. It never got too rowdy and when the bar was busy it was quiet by 11pm. Overall I really enjoyed my stay.

The shower doesn't have a basin in the floor it just dips inward. Essentially water gets everywhere when you're not careful and most people aren't. Also someone stole my cookies from the kitchen :(
