We liked the location and that it was all self contained- cooking facilities, table, chairs cutlery etc. it was a very quiet location & centrally located.
設備齊全、乾淨舒適!離市區很近,步行就可以買足所有東西

Clean, basic with good facilities
Nothing. Met expectations
Large and clost to down town
Spacious rooms, close to the main area with many restaurants open late.
Haven't received check-in instructions so we had to call and ask about these. Once we talked to them on the phone, they confirmed they'd meet us at the reception area so no issues with that.
Helpful and friendly people It was good and Spacious
Have to go upstairs
N/A We did not get breakfast
Slippery shower floor when wet was dangeroud
Easy walk to restaurant
Everyone was very accomodating - especially with our schedule which was late arrival, early checkout. Also appreciate that office looked for more shampoo for us after we got off Heaphy track!
The location was great! The room was spacious, it was clean, basic, it met our needs.so close to town, walking to everything was easy. Thank you.
Very centrally located.
No elevator (lift), but luckily we are still fit enough to use stairs.
Good location.
Didn’t realise it was student accommodation. So very basic.
Good location - walkable to downtown. Checkin was easy and pleasant staff. All good!

The cooking area. Not enough work area. The bench could have been longer with the microwave in a elevated position. Not enough power outlets.
A good location , 7/8 minute walk to town centre with numerous bars and restaurants . There is a pub a 5 minute walk from the hotel in the opposite direction. It appears to be student accommodation, but we had no issues regarding noise or anything to disturb us . Staff were friendly and helpful.
Our room , for two people, only had a desk , no table for eating on , even though there were cooking facilities in the room .
Dass es ein backrohr gegeben hat und es war sehr gemütlich
Dass es im Erdgeschoss war und viele hineingeschaut haben und dass uns das Klopapier ausgegangen ist
Good cooking facilities. Bedrooms well sized.
smaller living space, very institutional feel. One apartment in large group. Inwards view. Not easy access with bags - multiple doors/stairs/corners.
Great location
Other tenants were noisy through the corridors. Pillows were too soft, had no substance
It's was nice and clean, and close to town,
The room had most necessary things and was clean to begin with. Location to nelspnncity was handy.
The bed was atrocious!. Didn't sleep for 3x nights. It was a double, not queen, was uneven and incredibly uncomfortable. We took turns sleeping on the floor. The room was never serviced and the front desk was rarely manned.
Location was perfect
Nothing
Location, room layouts, beds
Had trouble with the TV. Some crockery and cutlery didn't match the number staying (4)
Fantastic service
central to most things we wanted to attend
no lifts as were on the third floor and we had to carry our suitcases up the steps
Close to everything. Enough space. Having a kitchen
The manager is friendly, cheerful and eager to help. The location is great and the rooms are clean.
Unexpectedly loud neighbours screaming, laughing and having really loud conversations at all the hours of the night and early morning. The blinds also don't really shut out the light, bring a mask if that bugs you.
Location is close to city centre.
Appartement was really dark, and lacks any warmth. Purely utilitarian. No window in the bathroom. Kitchen was really basic so we decided to go out.
Proximité du centre ville à pied: derrière la cathédrale. Parking devant la résidence. Grande salle de bain. Propreté de la chambre et de la vaisselle. Propreté des locaux communs. Bien que petit, il y a de quoi déposer des affaires dans 4/5 casiers et quelques cintres.
Plus 1 chambre étudiant qu'1 appartement hotel. Seulement 1 chaise pour 2 personnes, 1 fauteuil. Pas de table pour déjeuner mais 1 bureau contre le mur: pas très pratique ni confortable. Kitchenette très étroite, au pied du lit.
Clean and tidy and close to town
Awesome place to stay. right in nelson city. Very welcoming super nice staff Very professional.
Unit was great, price was good for what we got
Great location could walk to restaurants near by.
Beds were a bit soft, sink to the middle
In the city sp nice and close to everything we wanted.
Noisy in the morning unfortunately with scaffolding being put up.
Great central location
Kitchen was satisfactory but needed a chopping board and dishwasher brush. Small complaint I know but I was on dishes.
Great location, friendly service. Room was basic but functional. Free street parking just outside. Short walk to queen's gardens, cafe's and shops. Very quiet area.
Some noice from the front door which was just outside our room. The door slammed shut every time someone used it.
Location, bed
I missed her name but the kiwi lady who checked us in was absolutely amazing, one of the friendliest most helpful people I’ve ever come across. Went above and beyond, couldn’t be more stoked with her service. Super chill and down to earth too, such a cool chick
Can’t fault it
the location was good very near to city center and other amenities, however these are student apartments , so very basic facilities. the lighting was very poor in all rooms . and the air vent/exhaust in the bathroom was very small to take all steam out while shower is running.
room lighting very low, very compact rooms and beds.
Easy to find, close to town and quiet.
Nothing.
Everything
Perfect for us
Parking, great location. Really welcoming staff and it was very good value.
Just remember to close the curtains. 😉
On Saturday night a group of people were outside the apartment until 2am very noisy
Apartment did not let in a lot of natural light
The door didn’t lock properly & we had an unexpected visitor
Enough for a short stay
Older equipment, looks like an older students dormitory It would be great to have salt and pepper, when there’s kitchen Also no space for meal prep in the kitchenette
Very comfortable bed and close to everything,staff so helpful
Everything is beautiful we love the place, the only problem was there is no left to carry the luggage to go up and down, the rest is beautiful
Location to code was excellent. Pleasant neighborhood.
The information about the apartment didn't mention it was student accomodation. Although the rooms were clean , it was rather a tight space for 4 adults and kitchen area was tiny. Not really an apartment. No lifts for ease of getting suitcases upstairs - especially for older folks with restricted mobility. Walls very thin - so noises from adjacent rooms could be heard easily.
Friendly, clean, comfortable, close to town and staff friendly
Vriendelijke ontvangst en goede uitleg.
Niets speciaals
Two bedrooms. Clean linen. Quiet when we were there.
Location, convenience, super friendly staff
Handy for us
Nothing
Location. Very central. Friendly staff.
Very disappointed with the kitchen equipment. The whole point of us booking an appartement that, it was said on the ad, featured an actual kitchen, was to enjoy having an actual kitchen. We tried cooking with the very little equipment provided and had a disastrous experience. It took ages for the stove top to actually cook our food, and the lack of something as simple as a strainer made cooking pasta very difficult. There is also almost zero space so chopping an onion is a challenge. Won't book again.
Friendly service,great location and clean rooms.
Very central. Comfortable bed. Clean bathroom. Compact but very adequate kitchenette
I was woken up on Friday night by drunk young people talking extremely loudly in the corridor for a long time so not good sound proofing
Very well priced for a pretty central location - easy to walk around the city from here. Helpful at reception. Everything you need for a stay.
Noise from other guests/residents a little annoying
A nice room in what appeared to be a university dormitory setting. Nicely equipped with modest appliances for home food preparation. Clean with comfortable bed.
My only dislike was a halogen light outside which shone brightly into the room causing me to have the shades drawn the entire stay. And it flickered all the night as well.
