Nice rooms with a good view and comfortable beds. Friendly staff who provided excellent service.- Convenient location close to great restaurants and activities.

This hotel is perfectly located in the centre of town, with everything you need within walking distance. You can explore the variety of cafes and shops right next to the hotel, and even the Cathedral is just a stone's throw away. The rooms offer lovely views over the city, and I particularly enjoyed the walk-in shower. The hotel provides all the basic amenities you need, and the breakfast with a good view was a great start to the day.
No improvement needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location was incredibly convenient, as it was close to some fabulous restaurants and several decent eateries. Moreover, the hotel staff were extremely accommodating and made our stay very comfortable. Additionally, the hotel facilities were well maintained and clean, and the breakfast served was delicious.
Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.

The location was ideal. We enjoyed the room,but thought that the Bar and Restaurant could be doing witrh some money spent on them to bring them more "up to date".
The manageress in the Restaurant was a bit "scary". Too efficient . Did not show genuine care and attention in her effort to provide the service.

The location is excellent and the size of the rooms good. We also liked using the gym and pool
The room was extremely hot with no air conditioning. The food is very average in Oceania and the bar is very dated.

Great place to stay, close to all the things we wished to do - the only let down was no soap in the room the first night.
The fountain is a bit of a distraction in the foyer.The classic car great

The Heritage Hotel in Nelson provided a fantastic base for our recent stay. The quiet and spacious rooms offered a great view from the top floors. Despite not being the most modern, the hotel had a certain charm and character. We appreciated the helpfulness of the reception staff who guided us on where to find free parking and the nearest supermarket. The location was convenient, close to downtown and the market. We also enjoyed the bar, which had a lovely atmosphere.
