★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loved my stay here and would recommend it to anyone in Nelson! It's in a grand old building and is eccentrically decorated inside, so it was a really nice change to other hostels. Really cool tiled showers, cheap laundry ($2), great location and nice communal areas.
The best part for me though was the free breakfast and free food. For breakfast there's a few cereals, oats, milk, tea and coffee, a few nice breads and stuff to put on them. There were also loads of baked goods which I think are donated by a bakery. So i filled up on bread, scones and doughnuts for a few days. Fantastic value!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I stay at the Palace every time I come through Nelson, and wouldn't bother trying anywhere else at this point. It's super chill, highly unpretentious, perfectly clean and very comfortable (as long as you like a 'shabby chic' vibe; which I do!). It's my favourite home away from home, I always look forward to my stay because I know I can just kick back, chill hardcore and not be bothered by anyone. The owner is rather eccentric... Another plus in my book!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The main building is a lovely old thing, lots of character and a good communal space. The free breakfast is also very welcome. We were put in the little house at the end of the garden; our room was lovely and the bed comfortable, but the bathroom and especially the kitchen were pretty old, tired and grubby. Could do with some love and attention. Otherwise a good stay

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is stunning, hidden gem in the city, like getting lost in the magical world of them secret garden. Wonderful people, fresh bread every morning, fresh fruit (seasonal). And fresh eggs!!!! What a gem indeed! And I have to say the comfort beds I've stayed in at a hostel. 100% would go again and highly recommend.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dirty. Smells strongly of smoke. Vaccine passes aren't checked and therefore a lot of the guests are unvaccinated (and very vocal about this).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is an amazing place. You meet new people easily. The flexibility of the manager is incredible! This is a great place, probably my favorite hostel in New Zealand.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Would not recommend! Be careful any solo female travellers. Owner is disrespectful and will come into rooms without knocking. Unsafe space, doors don’t get locked at night so strangers from the road often walk into the the rooms too.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We travelled as a family and spent two nights here.
Per the kids: We loved it. It was really homey and quirky. The staff were all really polite and kind. If you're looking for a place to stay in Nelson, definitely go here.
Per the adults: we loved it too. It is very homey, like staying at your quirky cool friend's house. Not the cleanest but if you value cleanliness, backpackers aren't your best bet anyhow. Great vibe. Adam went above and beyond - got Boston Buns especially for the kids, and invited them to feed the chickens.
