“A short stroll from everything Nelson”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

A colleague introduced me to the Palms. Neslon CBD is a square, the Palms is on the NW corner, so you can walk everywhere in town in 20 mins.

Motel has a nice pool ( if you get time to be in it), and the accomodation is everything you would expect from a high end NZ motel.

I always stroll out to dine. there's plenty of choices in the Nelson CBD, and the Palms is only a short stagger home.

“Great no frills place to stay in Nelson”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011 via mobile

Well located motel close to the town centre. The place looks like new, service is good and the rooms have everything you can think of.

If you come to Nelson, this is a great place to stay - a definite recommendation!

“Immaculate accomodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011

person found this review helpful

The Palms in Nelson is our first choice when ever we go to Nelson, it is located across the road from the supermarket and walking distance to the trafaglar centre where the dance competitions are held each year. Approxiamately 10mins from the airport normally only about $20 for a taxi. Walking distance to the town and your choice of restaurants.
The hotel has a choice of rooms all with very comfortable beds. The rooms are all immaculate in presentation and cleanliness and we have never been able to fault the facilities.

As a regular business visitor to Nelson I have been using this motel for about 6 years. Rooms have been regularly upgraded, the location is excellent and the staff always welcoming and friendly. As motels go this is definitely 5 Star plus

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2011

We stayed over the Easter Holiday and had a great time. We were touring the south island with our twin 2 yr olds and our 14 yr old niece. The rooms were super spacious and at a great price. The room had a kitchen that was super useful for us. Also a big spa bathtub, that our boys thought was a swimming pool, so they "swam" each day. Great location. Very happy with our choice to stay here.
