Best Hotels in The Wood

Very warm and friendly and welcoming hosts. They went above and beyond in every way to make my stay memorable. For eg. I had traveled over 30 hours before I reached the hostel, my check in time was supposed to be 12 noon I recall (still much earlier than all others who only allow check in at 2 pm). I reached there by about 9 /9.30 am, and to my utter surprise they were kind enough to accommodate me and allowed me to take my room. It made a huge difference to me, given my tired condition then. The next day for some reason I had a small debacle with one of the tour bookings and that threatened that I would have to stay in the hotel instead of checking out if I couldn't go on the tour. They assured me they would keep the only vacant room then available in the hostel for me until my issue was sorted out. The issue got resolved and I went on the tour, but I cannot thank them enough for this gesture, it allowed me to tackle the issue with a calm mind. They also retained my belongings when I went on a trip to Abel Tasman and held it in their storage room under lock and key until I checked in again. The hostel vibes are very positive, the chocolate pudding idea is fantastic apart from the chocolate being delicious, it allows everyone to mingle. Enough wash rooms and toilets, clean place, good drying area. It is an easy walk from the market, more so the walk is a very pleasant one, as the route is nice too. The hostel is in a very nice residential area, so gives a good feel of Nelson. If I go back to Nelson, I would make sure I stay here again.

Great location ,very clean and tastefully fitted very friendly and professional staff, also nice to see is a big tv screen very rarely seen at other places we stayed Especially watching a live game of rugby( all blacks beating the boks) Very comfortable beds great linen and pillows we stayed in a twin poolside room with spabath and 2 double beds Highly recommended and at a great rate We looking forward staying here again

Hotel location is convenient, walk to the main street of the city 7-8 minutes. The kitchen and bathroom facilities are complete, and the separate kitchen is suitable for those who like to cook their own meals. If you bring a child, you will have to pay for the child. Filling out the child information when booking a room automatically calculates the room rate and automatically assigns the appropriate room. If you temporarily increase your child's stay, you will need to add a child's room rate. This is a motel with plenty of parking.

I had the good fortune to spend four nights at Riverlodge Motel. The room was so clean, comfortable and well maintained and owners Edie and Jon were so pleasant and helpful that I'm more than happy to recommend this motel to anyone considering staying in Nelson. As a bonus, the location is only a short walk from the central city and all it offers.

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.

Absolute must stay if your in Nelson So comfortable and inviting, cleanliness top notch Staff amazing, friendly, welcoming it’s like home from home Close to town for great restaurants & bars. Highly recommended

We booked a family room with 3 bedrooms for 3 couples and 2 kids. The kitchen was quite small for a 3 bedroom family room and one of the rooms was quite small - not even enough space to open suitcases. It was cold and we found that the smallest room’s electric blanket wasn’t plugged in. To top it off there wasn’t a power outlet in the room either. Went to call reception but the phone wasn’t connected to the phone point either. Had to move the furniture to connect the phone and reception staff said the house keeping staff will look into it. I told them no one can add a power point in the room now and they said we can give you an extension cord and try and find an extra heater!!! We were traveling with parents and little kids - extension cord wasn’t an ideal solution. Went up to the reception and at one point the receptionist (who was in training) said she can give us our money back and we can leave. Where were we going to go at night with the whole family??? Eventually to resolve the issue they offered us 3 separate rooms upstairs, at least they had working heating. Next morning while trying to heat up some food, we found the microwave in one of the rooms wasn’t plugged in and there was no outlet for it either!!! Hopefully the hotel invests in making sure their appliances work and have outlets to plug them in. And provide better training to staff so they don’t put the responsibility/shift the blame on each other (reception putting it on house keeping and vice versa).
