Rutherford Hotel Nelson - A Heritage Hotel ★★★★

📍 27 Nile Street West, Nelson

"I visited the hotel directly the day before to confirm the reservation, but the hotel said the reservation was not accepted. I think there was some mistake on Trip.com. It is hard to trust. I finally got in touch with the staff in Korea and they resolved it well. Thank you to that staff. My family was very satisfied with the hotel. The staff was friendly and the facilities were good. It was old, but not disappointing. I used the sauna in the hotel, and it was really nice for the first time in a long time."

"I stayed here for 2 night. The hostel is located very close to everything. Very convenient. I went to Nelson by Intercity bus. It takes around under 10 min or less from bus station. Kitchen and living room is big. It is really comfortable for cooking. Room is decent. You got what you pay for room. There was no reception. They sent me introductions to check in."

The Sails Nelson ★★★★★

📍 7 Trafalgar Street, The Wood, Nelson

"Very kind, Beautiful view, clean and quiet room. I would definitely visit here again. And also breakfast was so delicious."

The Hotel Nelson
8.9 (137 reviews)

The Hotel Nelson ★★★★

📍 40 Waimea Road, Nelson South, Nelson

"The cleanliness was okay, and the location and ambiance were passable. What I really need to mention is that the service was absolutely appalling. Checking in at 10 PM, no one answered the phone, only texted. What kind of hotel is this? Don't they have security guards? You know, I've been to New Plymouth, Christchurch, and Queenstown and never encountered any difficulty checking in at night. Nelson is unbelievable; how can he run a hotel with such a lack of service awareness?"

📍 108/110 Collingwood Street, Nelson

"Very good and comfortable"

Ah House Nelson City B&B
10 (52 reviews)

Ah House Nelson City B&B ★★★★

📍 23 Examiner Street, Nelson

"John and Mark set the standard very high for our Nelson (and surrounding area) adventures! Unbelievably kind, beautiful home and garden, delicious breakfast. I dont think we’ve ever felt this good after such a long flight. Can’t recommend enough!"

Palazzo Motor Lodge
9.6 (105 reviews)

Palazzo Motor Lodge ★★★

📍 Centre 159 Rutherford Street, Nelson

"Brilliant place, very big room with a kitchen as well. Absolutely great after hours service as well. We arrived late and told the hotel before and the reception still came out of the back room to help us and recommended us with great spots to go visit and great dinner places as well. Had too short a stay at this place, will definitely come back for a longer visit. They even have a bathtub!!"

Rutherford Hotel Nelson - A Heritage Hotel ★★★★
"Environment: Located in the city center, it is very convenient for sightseeing and eating around. Service: The staff is warm and thoughtful. Historical hotel, it should have a certain reputation in the local area. Air New Zealand flight attendants also stay in this hotel, and I also met other pilots when I came here."

"Great location, close to the bus stop and the sea. There was a bathroom in the room and bath towels were provided, so it was comfortable. I was happy that I could use the washing machine for free. The woman at the reception was also nice and had a nice atmosphere. New Plymouth is a wonderful city!"

Ah House Nelson City B&B ★★★★
"A wonderful stay (again!). Mark and John are the most wonderful people (and hosts) you will ever have the good luck of encountering. We stayed in the Ah House in 2023 and returned in 2026. If we are back in NZ, we'll go again! The location is excellent for walking into Nelson for dinners, museums, and galleries. BUT it is the Ah House itself- the hosts and the personality of the space that they have created that is the draw and the reward. The garden apartment is spacious and private, the mattress sleeps well, the environment is inviting. Relax and hang out on your patio or be energetic and go to Abel Tasman for the day. No matter what you choose, you will enjoy your time at the Ah House. Mark and John are easy to access and happy to provide information, but they also honor whatever privacy level you are most comfortable with. No fussy rules. Just comfort. They go above and beyond to help out (they gave us a lift to the airport- Thanks guys!). Stay at the Ah House. You will be glad you did."

Palazzo Motor Lodge ★★★
"We were very impressed at how well appointed the room was. Great facilities. We had come to see a show at a theatre a 5 min walk from the Motor Lodge so the location was a dream. Staff were very friendly & accomodating. We will be back & highly recommend. The price was brilliant too."
