Great hostel with amazing hosts

I have to say that the YHA Nelson is one of the best hostels I've ever seen. And it is reasonable priced too. Staff is amazing. I had a single room and it was great.

There should be an additional sign that says that stoves etc are starting to work at 07:30 am. A lot of guest did not know that :)

all very good value for money, but choose your room carefully.

Good value for money and was as expected. Friendly staff, all was fine except the three things mentioned down below.

Windows wouldn't shut and were single glazed so the HVAC units on a nearby building cold be heard all through the night, meant zero sleep on first night, using earplugs following nights sorted that. Suspect different room won't have same issue. Lighting in room was a bit harsh/odd & music playing in corridor can be heard inside the room.

Superb

The staff/owners were amazing people. The hostel is cleaner than most, and very cozy; the common room has these cozy corners to burrow into with your book. Kitchen equipment was in better condition than I'm seen in most hostels and overall the atmosphere was very welcoming and peaceful.

Great location …close to transportation and restaurants. Easy walking distance to city sights.

I had booked a private room and it was larger and better equipped than I expected. It was also conveniently located close to the washroom facilities. The owner of the establishment was extremely friendly and helpful

I found the bed a bit hard

3 minutes walk from the bus terminal, really close to city centre with shopping possibilities and a several groceries. A big hostel with two kitchens (they offer free bread, really nice) and clean washrooms. They've plenty space to stay outside the doorms. Just the bunk beds are shaky, maybe only in our room? Who knows.

Sockets to charge the phones directly at each bed would be great - and hooks everywhere too :)

Recommend

Super kind, helpful and knowledgeable staff! Clean facilities. Lots of activity recommendations. Pretty much everything can be booked at the hostel. Well equipped kitchen. Free bread in the morning! Nice and spacious lounge and eating area. Also little outside sitting area. Central location. Security measures seem adequate. Bed was comfortable enough. Would recommend staying here.

Some of the rooms including mine have the windows open to right next of a vent on the in- between roof, which is continually noisy. Therefore I was unable to open the window at night even in hot weather. That lessened the value of the room significantly in my opinion. Also a little lamp/light by the bed would be nice and make the whole room more cozy. Ceiling light was very sterile. Apart from that really good hostel!
