The staff were friendly and efficient on check in and when I checked out. I could come and go when I liked for the whole stay. There is a carpark on site, Bar and Cafe in the vicinity. It wasn't expensive and clean. There is a bathroom attached to each dorm room. If you don't mind different people coming and going and feel safe, I had good roomies even though I was out early and back late 🥰

i enjoyed my stay here. i spent 2 nights on two separate days and actually got the same room which had a private bathroom. so i'm just going to review both stays on this one review. staff were friendly and helpful. i had ordered a part for my camera and they held it for me. i was also able to store my luggage for free while i was on the Abel Tasman Track because i was staying another night there, otherwise it's a small fee. towels were included in the price which was nice. i didn't really use the common dining room/lounge area but it was very big and nice. kitchen was large as well. i mainly kept my food in the fridges. it's also very close to the electric buses that will take you to the Nelson airport and the drop off area for some of the Able Tasman shuttle. also very close to some nice little restaurants and shops and i was able to walk to the New World for groceries. basically it's very conveniently located.

sitting out on the balcony where some other backpackers sat to chill out in the afternoon. Everyone I met were amazing, friendly and very interested in why my Husband and i were in Nelson. The uphill was a challenge but doable, the parking was hard as we had a big 4x4 but again it was doable. The owner of The Palace was a pretty cool down to earth person. We enjoyed our stay and we will go back again.
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
This would have to be one of the best backpackers we've stayed in! Great location, comfy bed and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We loved the restaurant and ate there twice!! Ghe place had a really good vibe and was a mixture of young backpackers and locals having a drink or meal.
The atmosphere in the hostel was super pleasant. The staff was always friendly and helpful! Rob, the owner, is a great person who is always open to a chat. There is ice cream in the fridge and the wonderful garden invites you to relax. Great location! Can only recommend it!!
A warm welcome and friendly staff at the hostel, which is cheap for Nelson. The kitchen is good and there's some nice outdoor space. Our room was in a second building, which was well-sized and with a shared bathroom/shower, which worked well.
The girl on reception that checked us in was really lovely and helpful (Kat). The beds were alright. Close walking distance to a lot of shops etc. Cheap stay, good for a low budget. Easy check-in and check-out. There is a really nice rooftop smoking area with picnic table.
