We stayed here over Christmas 2011. Good stuff: - Location - close to the town centre and not too far from bus station etc - Small outdoor communal area - Large kitchen with seating Not so good stuff: - Christmas Day, sat outside around 10.30pm just chatting and we received a whole host of complaints that we were too noisy...

Stayed here for 3 nights, it has a great location, friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Stayed in a 5 bed room which was really clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were very clean as well. They have a good games room and tv room and a very large kitchen with outside patio as well. Enjoyed staying here and Nelson is... More

Great little YHA hostel, very friendly staff, location very good about 2mins away from the bus station. Building a little old (no central heating) and window in my room did not close properly i only discovered this when i was about to go to bed, too late to contact reception but it was only somewhere to sleep for one night...

The room was really tiny and overlooked a loud street and the patio where everyone drinks and hangs out. There was a loudspeaker down every hallway outside... More

We loved this hostel. It is in a great location with all the services you could want within walking distance. We had an ensuite bath that was very large. There was even a second sink in the room. The beds were okay but not the most comfortable. We had our garbages emptied and clean towels left every day. There was... More

I've stayed here twice with the same friend and we returned to it because it offered clean rooms for a budget price - pretty sure I only paid $28 per night. Good backpacker accommodation. It certainly isn't plush but if you've been in the wilderness for a week it seems great! More

We stayed here for one night during easter, and due to the fact that the hostel was fully booked, reception and kitchen were quite busy. Parking was free, due to the public holiday (don't know if there's a free parking option during normal days). Location is good for the nice city center, waterfront is a 15 minute walk. Our private...
