Roy New Zealand“Excellent position, only 100 metres from pubs and restaurants, and then into the main shopping area. Beside the Cathedral and a short walk to the large Saturday market. Easy parking on the street, or in the Hotel’s secure car park.”- Treiber
Austria“Hotel is close to the center of Nelson next to a park. Free parking is available on the quiet street in front of the hotel. Nice staff and everything in the room that you would need.”
