Now I love Nelson and have stayed in some fabulous places (think Baywicks and Shelbourne Villas). Sadly, on this trip, my work booked and paid for this place (not that they can have paid much judging by it). There is nothing specifically wrong with it. It's just tired and depressing. The room I had was up some stairs. There is... More

Excellent lounge, kitchen area and even though there were 10 of us we felt there was plenty of room. Only conplaint was that there was no easy access... More

The room was clean and the bed was ok but the service was shocking. We had a ground floor room that had a note saying we had to run the basin tap for at least 4 minutes before having a shower as the tank was at the other end of the building. This was right alongside the note that said... More

Clean modern spacious room & bathroom. Nice & quiet Our room was upstairs (no lift) so may pay to check when booking if stairs would be inconenient for you. Location is not withing walking distance to Nelson city which didn't bother us as we had a car.

I commute to Nelson weekly for business and often spend one or two nights in the leisure lodge and have been doing so for almost 5 months. I am generally happy with the service and depending on where they put you I am generally happy with the studio rooms. My preference is stay in the more modern rooms as they... More

We booked a 3 bedroom unit for 2 nights for a family 'girls' weekend. We arrived from various destinations and all requested a morning paper. Next morning - no paper. Receptionist said we had not booked one and the stack of papers at reception (with room numbers on them) were pre-booked. She begrudgingly let us have one - but were... More

There was nothing wrong in this hotel. However, it is not very "fascinating". It is similar to a USA - Style Motel. A few services, position not very good; very quiet and clean. A good place where to stay no more than one night. The room was big and everything worked without any problems. The bathroom was ok.
