Castles Motel & Driftwood Motel - Nelson

I chose this hotel for attending a vendor expo as it offers a meeting room with seating for 15 people. The facilities were well-maintained and the staff was helpful in setting up the room for our presentations. It provided a professional atmosphere for our business meetings.

The only service I missed for my work was a dedicated business center. Having access to a computer, printer, and other office equipment on-site would have been convenient for any last-minute work needs.

Decorating was fresh. Internet access. Handy to town

Could use a little tlc where edges of wallpaper lifting. Get a couple of folding stands for bags. No where to put bags. Get rid of the toilet paper dispensers. They give the place a cheep budget feel. Real toliet paper rolls don't cost that much. Downstairs room turned into an upstairs room.

Wonderful , friendly host, very clean,very helpful, good value for money

The rooms are spacious and well-equipped with a 2-person spa bath and a fully equipped kitchen. It felt like a home away from home, complete with a separate living area to relax in after a busy day exploring Nelson.

Weak shower pressure.

Room was clean and tidy and the people were very friendly

The traffic noise (trucks) started at 4.30am which woke me up

Great room and value for money. Very helpful staff. Amazing spa shower in room and natural thermal pool available for use.

The facilities were comfortable and well-equipped, making it a suitable space for professional gatherings.

The only downside was the lack of a reliable high-speed internet connection, which was crucial for my work. Despite this, the overall experience at the hotel was satisfactory.

Clean, good location, comfortable rooms, generous size, separate kitchen, nice TV.

Nothing all good.

Loved the in-room spa and separate kitchen and lounge. Surprisingly clean, comfortable, and accommodating. Great location near the beach, bars, and restaurants. Highly recommended for groups or individuals looking for a budget-friendly option. Can't wait to go back!

The motel has a convenient location close to food outlets and the beach. the rooms are clean and spacious, with comfortable beds and fully equipped kitchens. the location is handy for airport access.

The motel lacks free wifi.

Great area to stay in, close distance to beach and food options. Our family appreciated the spacious room and comfortable bedding. There was a fridge available which was convenient when we wanted to store some drinks.

Our night was dampened with the excessive noise coming from other guests that lasted throughout the night. there wasn't any air conditioning so we found it difficult to sleep during the summer season.

We had a fantastic stay at this place! The location was perfect, with a gorgeous beach just a stone's throw away. We loved being so close to local eateries, like Smugglers, and it was great to have shops and the beach within easy reach. The room was quiet, providing a peaceful retreat from road noise. The staff gave really good service and were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was well-equipped and had everything we needed, including a kitchen with all the necessary appliances and a comfy sitting area. We also appreciated the lovely garden furniture where we could relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. we were very impressed with the quality of service and amenities provided.

Families will find this hotel to be a great choice.

I absolutely loved the charming decorations throughout the motel. The vintage furniture and artwork created a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The common areas were well-maintained and easily accessible for senior people like myself, with comfortable seating and clear signage to navigate around the property.

I would have appreciated a bit more assistance from the staff, especially in helping me with my luggage. It would have been wonderful if the children working there could have offered to carry my suitcase to my room.

The location of the motel was excellent, as it was close to shops and the beach. I enjoyed exploring the area and having easy access to everything.

The only minor inconvenience was the lack of shampoo and conditioner, which are usually provided at motels.

Great location very close to everything we needed, including a beautiful long beach with some excellent restaurants nearby in Tahunanui. Cleanliness was superb and the hotel's facilities were well-maintained. Staff were very accommodating and knowledgeable.

Not obvious to find.
