The Bug Backpackers Hostel - Nelson

The double room was comfortable and roomy, and the cute chocolates on the pillows were a nice touch. The bathroom facilities were clean, and the kitchen was well-equipped.

We did not receive a response to our text about our late arrival and got a grunt from a staff member when handing in the key the next morning. The noise from a fellow guest at 3am was disruptive.

Clean and tidy rooms, friendly staff, quiet atmosphere, free bike rentals, nice garden with hammocks and tables.

Hard to think of anything.

The kitchen at this hostel is fully equipped with a great variety of baking and cooking tools. It is always clean and well-maintained. The living room and dining area, although small, are cozy and comfortable. The rooms and bathrooms are also kept clean. the hostel is conveniently located, only a 20-minute walk to the town center.

The breakfast included in the stay was not as expected. There was not much available in the kitchen early in the morning when we needed to leave.

We had a great stay in a private room with air conditioning. Best aspects were the cleanliness, great facilities , friendly staff and convenient location to walk to the city center. This hotel also had a relaxing garden area complete with hammocks and BBQ.

They offered nice complementary breakfast, with real bread and spreads. the outdoor facilities were great and the bed was very comfortable. the location was perfect for me, not too far from the city center, and with a great beach nearby.

The kitchen was a bit small and busy at dinner time. it was a bit inconvenient that the hostel was a bit far from the city center if you didn't have a car.

Excellent service, handled last-minute room change with a smile. Kitchen cleanliness could improve, but bathrooms were very clean.

I recently had a wonderful stay at a backpackers in Nelson. The staff at Bug Backpackers were very friendly and helpful, providing me with a free pickup from the bus station.

Another great aspect is the location - just off the cycle path, it's perfect for exploring the town and surrounding areas.

All was fine.

During Easter, I had a great time staying at a small backpackers. It was so good that I will definitely be returning. The room, which I shared with other people, was very spacious and the beds were comfortable. I loved having my own shelf, reading light, and even two pillows. The kitchen was well-equipped, with lots of space in both the fridges and boxes for food. The shared garden was perfect for sitting and enjoying the good weather. The hotel's friendly staff were always available to answer any questions too.

That the hotel turned off the wifi after 10.30 pm, which was frustrating at times. However, it wasn't really a big issue because the rest of the stay was so enjoyable.

the value for money was outstanding. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the attention to detail throughout the hotel. Secondly, the location was perfect for me, as it was just off the cycle path of the Great Taste Trail. It was also just about in the city centre, making it convenient for exploring. Lastly, the staff were exceptional. They provided excellent service and the basic amenities were all top-notch. I particularly loved my room with its own comfortable bed and private bathroom with really nice bed linen. And to top it off, the breakfast included options like peanut butter or jam, which was a nice touch.
