YHA Nelson Backpackers

Amazing value for price

Supe good hostal with all you need for a good price.

Sehr schönes Hostel, tolle Einrichtungen, sowohl Küche als auch Badezimmer. Besonders herausgestochen hat das freundliche und überaus hilfreiche Personal. Immer ansprechbar und mit guten Tipps! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

The hostel was okay. It had two big kitchen which could be a bit cleaner. The room was very spacious but the beds were a bit shaky. It wasn't a really social atmosphere and you only get one GB free wifi which also didn't quite worked. However the hostel was totaly alright for a few nights.

I was amazed at the quality of the hostel Everything perfect! Thanks

would stay again

This hostel really deserves a 10. The staff are amazing, the rooms are very clean, the doors close quietly in the dorms, there are enough showers and toilets, the kitchen is awesome, and the lounge area is chill.

Big kitchen/diner, common room to lounge in too. Also if you’ve got a car, there’s a big parking lot right outside for you to use so very convenient. Wouldn’t say it’s very social but everything else was top tier

Really good hostel. Would usually not book because of the ratings, but was one of the cleanest hostels I‘ve stayed in NZ. Loved the single room (had a window, enough space, comfy bed). Kitchen & bathrooms were clean, as they had proper professionals doing the cleaning, not just young travelers (like in so many other NZ hostels). Loved it!

Good location, budget friendly and would recommend but room for improvement. Eg don’t advertise a 7 bed dorm as a 6 bed dorm and fix the faucets in the kitchen as then kept dripping no matter how hard you tried to twist which was a bit ironic as there are posters about saving water on the walls

Great location, the staff is very helpful and they have a lot of information about tours and what to do in Nelson. Common areas are very nice.

Its a very big hostel. Manymany people, but enough space for everyone. Theres a nice chill room. The kitchens and bathrooms were exceptionally clean. Liked it here!

Hostel très bien organisé, propre et confortable. Le personnel est avenant et fort agréable. L'emplacement central de l'établissement est vraiment très pratique. J'y reviendrai avec plaisir!

Always. Lovely staff. You comfortable. Best facilities.

This hostel has a great location and staff were helpful. The kitchen was well stocked and the bathrooms were good and always clean. However, I was quite disappointed at the fact you have to pay for wifi. Seems very old fashioned, especially for travellers in a budget hostel, and it says in the description that there's unlimited WiFi, which is not true!! The beds were not the best and the room did feel quite stuffy.

Great hostel in the center of Nelson, recommended 👍

Enjoyed my stay here. The place is clean and tidy, the facilities are great, and the rooms are a decent size. It’s super central so really easy to get around town. The staff were all really friendly and made me feel so welcome every time I saw them. The only downside was that the atmosphere was a bit flat. Other than that, it was great :)

Great location, clean and very adequate.

Equitment in kitchen is worn down. Bunk bed was rather shaky and pillow a sad, flad something. Could only find two toilettes and two showers for the whole floor. Although I stayed in a 6 bunk bed room there was also a person sleeping on the couch. In genral weird atmosphere. Stayed only for a night for trail tranfer and choose another (much better) hostel when I came back from the trail.

hostel was nice! everythings clean and staff is friendly. location is good too. wifi is a bit annoying unfortunately. you only get 1 gb for free per day, you can buy unlimited for 24 hours for 2$. pretty sure they advertise having free wifi so thats a bit misleading!
