Stayed Mid-week for two nights. Booked nearly a month in advance and requested an upgrade, which was easily accomodated. Friendly and professional on arrival. Rooms were clean and modern with nice outlook into town. Loved the air conditioning and heated floors. After a 1 hour walk around town trying to decide where to have dinner, we ended up up at... more

We stayed at Trailways for three nights from 16th -19th April 2009. The proximity of the hotel was great - easy walking distance to town. The room was very nicely appointed, a/c, huge bed etc and we found the staff very helpful and friendly. The meals in the restaurant were great value for money and very nice. The only disappointment... more

We only had a night there but the staff were friendly and helpful. The meal was lovely, from a gorgeous salad starter to a main course of groper fish and a sumptuous pudding. Our room overlooked the river and we appreciated the underfloor heating in the bathroom! more

This motor inn is in a good location, about 600m from the city centre. I had a spa room - I did expect a larger spa bath than what was delivered for the price of $165 (GST inclusive). The room was small-moderate, had a couch (which might have been a fold out one). Room getting a bit scruffy, e.g., black... more

Located on the main road into Nelson, a short walk from the retail/business area. Very nicely appointed room and situated on the river. Our room was on the side of the motel facing the road, but we did not hear the traffic at all. A local paper was delivered to the door compliments of the management. The motel looks fairly... more

Aside from a rather frosty welcome when we checked in, Trailways was a fine base for a few days in Nelson. Our room overlooked the car park/tiny swimming pool, so no views, but it was comfortable, every room has a spa bath and the bed was one of the most comfortable we encountered in an NZ motel. Trailways seems to... more

We stayed one night and paid extra for a room on the river, $125 NZD. We found the walls paper thin and we heard entire conversations in the room next door. When I called the front desk to see if we could move or move the guy next door, she chuckled at me and just repeated the question back to... more

The room was spacious and everything was clean, BUT the restaurant prices for all meals was pricey. You can get better prices outside. more

Excellent hotel. The staff are the most friendly and welcoming I've ever experienced, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is small and friendly, and felt very homely even though we were the other side of the world. The rooms are very modern with underfloor heating and if you can, go for a riverview room. Ours was on the first... more
