An enjoyable stay during our trip. Breakfast offered variety of options and was complimentary. The staff were terrific & looked after us and were ready to help. The outstanding service was provided in this solid hotel. Prime location, around 10-15 minutes walk from saturday market.

Very quiet location for one night, the hotel staff were CONSISTENTLY COURTEOUS. There were a supermarket and a convenience store next to the property. I appreciated my room - more than clean and surprisingly good. Food was exceptional and superb. Helpful service overall. No worries about free wifi throughout the property. It worked quickly.

We would stay here again if we go to Nelson. Near the downtown, 20 minutes on foot.

Liked a large kitchen we had in the room. Stopped by Rustic Cuisine to get some coffee and treats, it's so close to the venue, recommend.

It is undoubtedly a superior option when in Nelson. Wonderful stay, friendly staff, quiet atmosphere. The location is in a peaceful spot. They placed us in a superior queen studio which was huge and very clean. The pool was nice, and there was great room service.

The pool was a delight. Recommend this venue to all, no complaints. Room met what was needed. 500 metres away from the hotel there is Patacca, which is a good dining choice...
