Quite clean and tidy, nice to see free bread for breakfast in the kitchen. Room was facing the road and quite noisy (not sure why, it was as if the buildings were amplifying the noises made by every car or person that walked past) so didn't sleep well.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Hostel staff were nice and (mostly) helpful. Internet is limited to 1 Gig per 24 hrs unless you pay them for unlimited (i want to say 2 NZD). You can’t see how much internet you have left (the interface it shows you when you log on is inaccurate) but it will stop if you use it all. The room I was in didn’t have lockers. Instead we were supposed to use the set in the hallway which felt less secure to me. Also, the bathrooms near my room almost inevitably had water on the floor (I think one of the fixtures was leaking). Overall still a pleasant stay.

Good hostel
Staff is very friendly. Kitchens are huge, wished there would be a few more frying pans. Our room was basic, nothing special (double room with no bathroom) and clean.We had a good night there. Good location In Nelson, Intercity just around the corner.

Affordable and good stay
Location was great! So close to restaurants, grocery stores and shops. Room smelled like feet. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm. The common area was huge and there were 2 kitchens which made socializing very fun

One night in Nelson at the YHA
The reception staff at this YHA are really the nicest, most welcoming bunch you could hope for. All of them were so pleasant and so helpful that we told them so directly when it was time to check out. The hostel is clean and well equipped. We were early for checking in and they put our food needing refrigeration in their own fridge. Our double room was clean and well equipped including a TV. Furnishings are always sparse in hostels even in the private rooms but the value for money can't be beat. We also rented bikes for 3 hours. Bikes were in good condition. They were not concerned about charging us extra when we were out longer than planned. These things really make a difference to your feeling about a place.

Place with internet and wi-fi not reliable to use because it was off most of the time. When we asked about it the lady at the reception answered that her lap top was working fine and their was nothing she could do about it.

Good free wi-fi and bread
The hostel had good, reliable and free Wi-Fi. The bathrooms were clean and the kitchen was adequately stocked. The free artisan bread was also a nice gesture. I had a twin room that was small for 2 beds any I wished it was bigger.

Nice Nelson Stay
Great place to meet people. The desk staff were very helpful and nice. The rooms are a bit small, but there are plenty of bathrooms and showers. Three areas to relax in. Free bread every day. Gas grill and patio area. Super location near shops and restaurants.

Good deal
The location is great, next to supermarkets and restaurants. It's well cleaned and the showers are good. All beds have power outlets by their side. The location is a bit noisy from traffic and maybe for this reason the room had ony a tine window and a wall covered with wood, so it was a bit hot there.
