Check in here for one night . Room had disgusting smell to stay , surely didn’t clean for long time . Room lamp was not working. Shower area was so slippery. Room main door lock was not working properly at all No one was at reception to call for help to fix the lock , Kitchen area was so so dirty. This place needs to be update otherwise location is so good you can easily access the food and town .
Hostel is very run down, kitchen is disgusting uncleaned and rooms are also a bit nasty. Bed hasnt been cleaned in days for sure. The guy at the reception however was nice and we had free parking next to the building, which was convenient.
An excellent budget accomodation, great staff as well as amazing vide at the place. The communal rooms, kitchen, toilets were clean & well maintained. Overall the best you’ll find in Nelson when backpacking or travelling while being on a strict budget.
I can’t stress enough that you should not stay at this hostel. If you scroll down through other reviews you can see they have been having a significant bed bug problem for quite sometime and I can confirm they are not taking adequate measures to get rid of them. We had the unfortunate experience of booking one night in the hostel before doing the heaphy track and hadn’t checked reviews until we were on our way and then was horrified to scroll through review after review of bed bug tales. I naively thought maybe they had sorted it out since the last bed bug review one week ago. But they did not. I did a thorough inspection of our room and although I couldn’t see anything immediately you could see how old the mattresses and pillows are. From previous experience, when there’s such a bad beg bug infestation they usually have to destroy these kinds of things. But can confirm those bad boys are dire. Bed bugs aside they should be replaced because they’re actually quite gross.nnOne of the girls had the experience of another dorm member have a bed bug crawl across his laptop, to which they alerted hostel staff who could do what at that time but bless him he came up anyway and attempted to search for bed bugs lol not sure what he would have done when he actually found them. I woke up the next morning and was covered in bed bug bites. I react quite badly to them so looked pretty horrific and there were so many. We tried to get a refund but the hostel is now refusing to give refunds because they must realise they would go out of business having to refund everyone. Moral of the story, don’t stay here until they’ve properly closed down the hostel to fumigate and also just burned all the mattresses.
Beds comfortable, pillows dreadful old, falling to pieces,location good. Reasonably clean although room had strange smell. Staff indifferent. Bathroom fans dreadful, noise is unbelievable, run with light on, as if commercial drier in room, bearable if used quickly but our Neighbour ran her bathroom fan for 2 1/2 hours until 11.30 pm clearly heard all around grounds, staff unable to do anything about it. Could be heard clearly from out on the street.
