Reviews of Bridge Backpackers
M. M.A cool, tidy and modern design with heaps of dorms and rooms to choose from.
However there are some safety issue. There was a floating chair in the lounge that wasn't fitted properly and came out from the beam it was attached to while a girl was sitting in it which seems very dangerous! Also the bunk beds do not have guard rails (granted they don't legally have to) This made for a very sleepless night as I kept thinking I would fall from the bed!
Overall it's a great place but it could do with actual management instead of just relying on woofers to run the place.
M. A.clean rooms, good shower and tidy kitchen. one star down for no seperate rubbish between recycle and landfill waste. Also, the toilet room upstair door keeps banging, fix that door! Lastly staff needs to remind guest to be mindfull during the night not to make any noise
A. W.Spent one night in a 4 bed dorm. Very high standards of cleanliness throughout the hostel, nice communal areas. Beds were comfy and staff friendly! Everything felt really fresh and new. Hostel also in a good central location :)
H. D.Friendly staff. Cleaned and tidy place. Full equipped kitchen. Well located at Sunny Nelson City.
N. S.Love the double bed. So comfortable.
Room was small but so clean and tidy.
We only stay for one night, so we don't really explore the dining area or kitchen. But what I can see is they have very nice lounge, big kitchen, even internet room.
We though this hostel gonna be noisy during night time, but it was so quite after 9 PM, so we can sleep peacefully. That's what we need after long drive..
K. M.Basic backpacker but clean, tidy, friendly and helpful staff, central location. Highly recommended.
Y. L.Place is as expected, basic twin room with storage and heating only, but we did get own private bathroom. Everywhere else are shared spaces such as kitchen, dining and living room. Not the most modern facilities in the living spaces but its good for the price you're paying if you're saving.
E. P.Great place to stay. Well situated in town. Great staff and facilities, as it was quiet I got a free upgrade to a smaller, female dorm which had a vanity in the room with products free to use as well as a hair dryer and straighteners. Solid, fixed bunks so no matter how much you or the other person may move, neither 1 is disturbed and they were very comfy. Great choice for breakfast and the waffles are a nice touch. Would definitely be more than happy to stay here again!
K. B.Super decent for a Hostel. I only stayed one night, but it was easy, friendly, and suited all my needs. We we're able to get a double private room with our own bathroom for under $80/night. Right in town, right across from the bus station. To top it off, continental breakfast was included. I would definitely recommend!
D. C.excellent location, excellent staff but the back rooms do not have internet basic service these days.
V. O.Good location. Free breakfast (though the waffle tastes weird). Modern decors.
But, I stayed in a double room which is not clean. There are stains on the bedsheet, the toilet, and the sink. There are even bad smelling on pillows. So, I won’t choose to stay here anymore since cleanliness is the top priority for me.
C. H.Not bad, some cool outdoor spaces and a big kitchen and dining area. Not really any atmosphere to speak of but it’s Nelson so that’s probably to be expected. If you stay Sunday night you can park right on the street in front for free as long as you leave by 8 AM. Slept terribly as there’s no AC and with the windows open you hear the loud crosswalk chirps all night long. It was miserably hot. But 4 stars because I’m sure the hot weather is an anomaly in NZ and it’s usually not like that.
a. “. f.Bright, clean building. Staff polite. A friendly atmosphere.
Free breakfast 8am till 9am- a bit late. Bread, jam, butter, tea, coffee, milk and cereal. Centrally located. Ask for a room at back of hostel as the pedestrian crossing is out the front and beeps all day and all night.
J. N.Everything seems to be new and fresh there. Quite the modern, open and uncluttered feel to it, it's nice! Beds and facilities are really good. Also very clean place!
I thought I was gonna fall off the first time I was climbing up the bunk bed though since there is really nothing to hold onto going up.
The staff were cool and helpful.
It was kind of cold in the common areas, the rooms are allright since they have heaters. My stay was in the winter true, and there were blankets available.
R. T.Probably one of the cleanest and modern backpackers I have come across in a while! Great wifi, excellent kitchen facilities and pleasant rooms. Everything at this this backpackers was great and the location to the centre of Nelson is fantastic! Also free waffles! Only problem is they only have two car spots which are first in best dressed so otherwise you will have to pay and park on the street.
M. N.Awesome main building, kitchen and dining room are super new. Our double room with ensuite was fine, shower head hung just under chin height though.. (I'm 190cm, but the fact that I complain about that says something about the rest) Loved the waffles at breakfast!
I. G.Enjoyed the Bridge Backpacker, simple, cheap accommodation. Great dining room and kitchen facilities. Big TV room. Definitely will stay again
T. J.Amazing hostel. Clean and modern, they have washing mashines and driers, a movie room and a gym. free parking isn't on site but a couple of minutes away, which isn't too bad though.
S. W.Great location however the room I stayed in (dorm) was extremely hot. A fan would have been very handy. Unfortunately too many guests crawling in at all hours and hovering outside the dorm doors meant the noise rule did not apply.
I returned a week later to a single room with ensuite which was well worth the extra money.
H. S.The place itself looks great and has cool modern areas, is very clean and well-presented and most things are very well thought-out, plus staff are great but if you're a light sleeper, I'd recommend asking for an outside room as with the front house, you may struggle to get a good night's sleep. Street noise, creaky floors, thin walls and people constantly slamming doors became frustrating.
To the owners: may I suggest installing soft closing doors and fans in the rooms so windows can be closed (in the main building, I was in room 1) plus a mirror in the room? but besides that, everything else you're doing is wonderful! Thank you :)
A. L.I'll start with the negatives, this place does not have parking. There are literally two parking spaces which are normally full. They do say you can park a street or so away for free but that is a street away so that's the first annoyance you may come across.
The second thing is the beds are very high with no bar on the edge. This isn't a massive thing but it does make you feel slightly unsafe compared to other beds (as well as no curtains on beds)
The positives are the staff were lovely and you can easily walk to anywhere in town from here so that's handy. It does have a free breakfast of toast and/or waffles. The waffles are free so don't expect much, you have to make them and the amount they give you makes a very very thin waffle.
I would probably stay here again, but wouldn't rush to stay here.
S. G.Looks like the hostel got renewed recently. Share rooms are really neat, have lockers and each bed has own light and stand which is really appreciated. Bathrooms looks really nice. Highly recommended for low budget!
M.This Hostel is located very convient in the city centre and is very modern. Everything is in walking distance. Even the main bus terminal (Intercity, Abdel Tasman Tours) is only a one-minute walk away. Complimentary breakfast is available from 8am-9am. Free unlimited WiFi is provided and it's very fast. The rooms (dorm) and bathrooms are quite clean but the bunk beds are very high (1.80m) and have no barrier that prevent falling out of it. The water pressure of the showers is very low, too. The kitchen is modern but has only one big table, so you always have to sit there with other people. All in all a good and cheap accommondation for a stay in Nelson.
L.My friend and I enjoyed a lovely time here before and after we did the Abel Tasman. The free bikes and breakfast were a win for us and we appreciated just how straightforward and clean everything was. Shout out to the lovely boss who even gave me a ride to the airport when all the buses and shuttles were down this morning - much appreciated and I can tell she puts her heart and soul into this place! 😊
N. F.Fresh and clean interior, comfy beds, nice reading lamp and power outlets for every bed. Bunk room of 4 still felt pretty private. Free breakfast incl. a waffle, coffee, juice, toast etc.
J. D.We (3 people) walked in off the street and they we able to put us in our own room together. Very friendly staff, very clean and very sociable. Would be 5 star except they had no recycling and that is a major problem considering today’s environment.
S. S.Good location, super tidy rooms and bath, cheap price. The best backpackers I've ever been! Like the white mood interior as well.
T. V.Clean rooms (stayed in the 4 bed dorm), friendly staff, large & clean kitchen. Modern and well-designed public areas. Free breakfast - especially the waffles - is delicious. Worth coming back.
C.I planned to stay only for a night, but ended up stay few days longer. It’s honestly one of the best hostel I have ever been during my past 5 years travelling.
The staff is great, the owner is very friendly, always up for a laugh or help you out to any questions you may have about the city and surroundings.
Free breakfast, always spotless from the kitchen to the room and toilets / showers! I met a cool bunch of people, the vibe is very relaxed, but very social as well. It’s up to you if you want to interact or not. And I liked it.
Outdoor , big lounge and a nice tv area! 3 mins walk from the main shops.
I’m Wellington and actually missing it 😄
The only negative thing was that the wifi hasn’t been working pretty much my whole stay, but I think they’re trying to fix it. I had enough data on my phone, and there’s also a computer free to use with internet access, in case you need it.
Also it would be cool if there would be salt / pepper and tea / coffee the whole day, but these are just small things that actually didn’t bother me at all.
Thank you very much, good luck with this new business and see you again, if I’ll be back to Nelson.
Ciao 👋🏻
a. s.I stayed for one an a half month in this cosy hostel, i enjoyed every moment spent inside and out.
I’m working online and internet was very good, the system failed once and the manager has been trumendously responsive to it, fixing everything up quickly.
The kitchen is simply amazing with a degree of cleanliness never seen through 5 years of travelling !
the dormroom was small as i knew before but in brand new condition, the bed was perfect, it gave me extra space all arround the mattres wich was so convenient, futhermore the beds are built against the wall which suppress all kind of rattleling noise and vibration you have in 99% of other backpackers hostel’s dormroom when your upper bed fellow comes and leaves.
The lockers under the bed are huge, i could fit every thing i wanted easily !
this is for me and many people the BEST BACKPACKERS HOSTEL IN NELSON !!

S.(Translated) There are many long-term stayers and staff, so the kitchen is in poor condition. There aren't many pots or pans to use, but among the backpackers I've been to, it's very clean and the facilities are good.
The double room and twin room are on the old building side at the back of the main building.
I was tied to a dormitory room, but it was convenient because there was a sink in the room. There was plenty of space to put my luggage, and it was nice to have a hair dryer and iron in the room.
And it's the cheapest to pay directly than to pay through the lodging site.

장기투숙자 겸 스텝들이 많아서 주방은 상태가 좀 별로입니다 쓸만한 냄비나 프라이팬이 별로없어요 하지만 여태까지 가봤던 백패커중에서 되게 깨끗하고 시설도 좋았어요
더블룸,트윈룸이 있는곳은 메인건물 뒷편 구관쪽이구요
저는 도미토리룸에 묶었는데 방에 세면대가 있어서 편리했어요 짐 놓을 공간도 충분했고 방안에 드라이기,고데기 있어서 좋았습니다
그리고 숙박사이트 통해서 결제하는것보다 직접 결제하는게 제일 저렴해요
n.(Translated) The location is right next to the intercity bus stop. The room was tidy. The reception is friendly. There is no bar restaurant nearby, so you can sleep peacefully at night. The kitchen is spacious and tidy, and the things are organized. The public spaces are simply furnished and comfortably furnished. good!

金.(Translated) Breakfast pancakes are best not to eat, it is impossible to eat deliciously, it is too difficult for a pancake machine to provide all the people! The toilet in the double room is dirty, the sheets are not cleaned, only the location is better!

早餐煎餅最好不要吃，根本不可能好吃，一台煎餅機要提供所有的人實在是太難了！雙人房的廁所髒，被單也沒洗乾淨，只有地點比較好！
