I have nothing but praise for this well-run hotel. Nelson is a wonderful town, it is beautiful, clean & people-sized. The hotel is well situated for strolling round the town and going to the nearby swimming pool & the restaurant is quite excellent; super fish, quckly served with flair & politeness. Beds are wonderfully comfy. The hotel Pool is really... More

Stayed for 3 nights towards the end of tour of the south island. The room was clean and well appointed. Staff in the restaurant were friendly. The restaurant is nice enough but a tad expensive. Not a huge choice of restaurants close by. Overall, a pleasant stay in beautiful Nelson. More

First things first. Staff were really good & helpful from checking in to the breakfast restaurant , no complaints. Bedrooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable. A problem regulating the shower resulted in an upgrade of accommodation only to find the same in the upgraded suite. No instructions to operate the jacuzzi bath so a colder shower than normal was had.... More

I dined there on the 17th and 18th April - the 17th was very good the 18th appalling in contrast to the 17th- it was like a different restaurant. The staff were different and had a poor approach to customer service. I waited in vain for a coffee as all they were intent on doing was to set up for... More

Every acommodation was completely full-booked when we arrived to Nelson so we decided to stop at every hotel/hostel/motel we found. Fortunately we found Trailways Hotel and got the last available room. It was a bit over our budget but the nice girl at the front desk gave us a cheaper price since it was the only room available. We certainly... More

We have spent three weeks touring New Zealand and not staying anywhere more than two nights. Trailways is the best, believe me. It cost, maybe, £20 more per night but was worth every penny. The difference occurs when considering the staff. Not only were the reception staff the best ever but the back office, who are adjacent to reception, chipped... More

Excellent location within walking distance of the center of town. Clean and comfortable rooms with all the standard amenities. In chain-like fashion, doesn't have much character. The restaurant is definitely overpriced--walk downtown to eat. More
