Top Nelson Hotel Reviews

Century Park Motor Lodge

8/10 Good

"Nice enough but could have done with a bit more love and attention here and there. Billed as luxury accommodation which is a bit of a stretch"

The Hotel Nelson

6/10 Okay

"No i We were not allowed in as, although closing time was advertised as 9pm, a large bright sign outside said open and a very pleasant young man showed us to a table , the manager then claimed that they closed at 8.30 and refused to serve us. I did make a complaint to reception, who blamed everyting on the polite young man"

Castles Motel and Driftwood Motel

8/10 Good

"Nice and clear instructions for my late check in, room was clean and functional with well equipped kitchen. It is very close to a busy road, but there is not much traffic during the night so not a big problem. Close to a nice beach and good restaurants (but avoid the “Italian” nearby, it's terrible. Nice stay! "
