Great value for a stay in Nelson
Old fashioned, quaint hostel run by lovely owner and manager. Though the building could use a renovation, everything was tidy and the private room was well equipped with linens, towels, heater, extra blankets. Shower and toilet were clean. Kitchen wasn’t crowded.
A bit noisy at night, but I think that comes with staying in a hostel.
