10/10 Excellent

The perfect place to relax and walk to shops or dine at the Flame Restaurant. Staff were happy to help.I have no hesitation in recommending Hotel Nelson to anyone.
Carol, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Lack of kitchen facilities, the room had a jug and small amount of coffee and tea sachets but nowhere adequate to fill jug nicely as it was awkward to fill in bathroom sink, and no brush to clean cups for re use. Also the bath tub drain has a water backing up issue. Other than that the room was really nice and clean.
Gary, 2-night trip
