Good location. 5 minutes by car from town centre. Breakfast was included which included toast & jam and scone. Milk was provided for tea and coffee. Nice kitchen and other amenities such as ping pong table, pool table and dart board. Wi-fi was good. Parking was free but is limited.

Food was absolutely delicious could not be faulted. However, the waiting staff were inhospitable, and the 2 women at the counter unfortunately were inadvertently bad mouthing their third colleague, whom was on her lunch break. It’s a great shame that they felt the need to do so, loudly and in front of myself and another table of 2, they really let the side down. Hopefully they see this, and might perhaps refrain from ill speaking in front of customers at the very least next time.

We stayed at the Prince Albert Hotel the day before setting off to tramp the Old Ghost Road. Despite being affordable the backpackers/hotel was a great choice. The room was clean with an en suite bathroom, the staff were friendly and helpful and we ate in the bar and the food was excellent. The hotel is also conveniently located near Nelson City Centre.

This is one of the best hostels I have stayed in so far in NZ. The staff are great and the atmosphere relaxed. We booked a twin room with ensuite shower. Shower was fabulous, beds v comfy and the room light and airy. There is an awesome courtyard to hang out in - with hammocks! Perfect for relaxing with a beer on a sunny day. The pub does excellent burgers and desserts and the cafe next door serves really good coffee, pastries etc. Would stay here again.

We went to the Albert on St. Patrick's Day & had a blast. Two excellent Irish bands, a very tasty corned beef & cabbage and a wee bit of tap Guiness. Fun pub & great crowd! It is just the type of local pub that is most fun to visit. We were on holiday from the U.S. & it was a special evening.
