“Very pleasant indeed”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

Just as you enter Nelson, on the corner of Paru Paru Road, The Palms is ideally placed for the traveller. Directly across the road is a large supermarket and the Motel itself is an excellent choice. The build is new, the rooms nicely decorated, with comfortable beds and spotless linen, and to top it all there is a small pool and BBQ Area. We thoroughly enjoyed a two night stay here, and made good use of Nelson's restaurants and also Tahunanui Beach.

Room Tip: The top floor rooms 24-29 get the evening sun on their balconies

“Clean and Very Friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

My first time to Nelson and this place was lovely, very clean with cooking facilities... Pool was smaller than in the picture but still very nice... Had to pay extra for Wi Fi access but was only about $20 for my 4 days... Would recommend to anyone visiting Nelson as it also walking distance from main shipping district..

“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.

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.

“Immaculate accomodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011
1
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.
