Very Good Featured review

10/10
It felt like a home away from home, with welcoming people and a lovely atmosphere. The location is private but still central, and the beds were so comfortable. Each dorm has its own bathroom, and the facilities are great for the price. Really relaxed, but still fun. Thanks for having us, we're not leaving anytime soon!

The hostel felt like a little home, and everything was clean and cozy. We booked at the last minute and found a detailed note explaining where everything was when we arrived. We only stayed briefly but really enjoyed it. We met the manager in the morning, and she was lovely and friendly. Highly recommend.

The room was about what I'd expect from a backpackers, so no complaints there. It was great having mountain bikes available to explore Nelson. I wasn't happy that the room I'd paid for was given to someone else. They put me in a dorm bed for the first night and refunded the difference in price. The next night I got a room that was the right type.

Lovely clean, comfortable rooms and a central spot where you can walk everywhere in town. The people were great too, and I couldn't ask for better value. I'll recommend it to anyone passing through Nelson.

A really relaxed feel, with terrific staff and a lovely building in a great spot. This is the kind of backpackers that's actually pleasant to stay in.
