I last reviewed the Palms in 2010. My recent visit showed that this place knows how to maintain top standards. Like all modern Motels, the Palms is functional rather than "exciting". It delivers a quality "sleep". Despite being in the heart of the shopping district the rooms are very quiet, and with the curtains pulled dark. The units are roomy,... More

This motel was just lovely. Very clean, modern and up to date furniture and accessories. Close to town and very helpful with where to go etc. Would stay here again. We had one large unit for 3 and 1 studio for 1 person. Highly recommended. More

We stayed here as part of a trip to NZ from the UK in February. We had a couple of nights in Nelson visiting friends and relaxing and stayed at the Palms. The service was excellent and they happily accomodated a shift around in rooms to that we could be next door to our parents. They were full at the... More

We were 2 couples spending a week in Nelson, so we were very happy with the 2 bed room apartment at the Palms Motel, we found it hard to find other 2 bed accommodation options. It was a bit expensive for a motel, but when you consider it comfortably accommodated the 4 of us it made it good value for... More

My husband and I plus three teenagers stayed here in March for two nights. We loved it, near shops & restaurants. Very clean & comfortable. The only downfall..we would like to have stayed longer! More

My husband and I stayed at Palms Motel for three nights recently whilst in Nelson for an AGM. We had an excellent stay here. Nothing was too much trouble for our host Cheryl. The rooms are very spacious, clean and comfortable. Although we didn't have time to use the pool it looked very inviting! The Motel is within walking distance... More

We spent one night here and can't say we were sorry to leave. The motel was well equiped and had all we needed for a 1 night stay though internet access was too expensive. When the cost of a room is $165 I am of the opinion that internet should be free. Another problem with the palms is its location,... More

Just as you enter Nelson, on the corner of Paru Paru Road, The Palms is ideally placed for the traveller. Directly across the road is a large supermarket and the Motel itself is an excellent choice. The build is new, the rooms nicely decorated, with comfortable beds and spotless linen, and to top it all there is a small pool... More

My first time to Nelson and this place was lovely, very clean with cooking facilities... Pool was smaller than in the picture but still very nice... Had to pay extra for Wi Fi access but was only about $20 for my 4 days... Would recommend to anyone visiting Nelson as it also walking distance from main shipping district.. More

A colleague introduced me to the Palms. Neslon CBD is a square, the Palms is on the NW corner, so you can walk everywhere in town in 20 mins. Motel has a nice pool ( if you get time to be in it), and the accomodation is everything you would expect from a high end NZ motel. I always stroll... More
