Rutherford Hotel Nelson Reviews

Very nice comfortable hotel in the heart of downtown Nelson. Easy walk from hotel to entire Nelson CBD. Staff are friendly, and room service is even available throughout the night. Haven't yet taken the opportunity to sample the hotel's own restaurants.

An excellant hotel to stay at. Highly recommended.

Comfortable, city centre hotel with service that is generally at least "good", sometimes better

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights Feb 2011. Reception was excellent, very friendly and efficient. We had booked from 23rd as per our confirmation letter however the hotel had us booked from the 25th fortunately they had rooms. We were given a nice dual aspect room on the top floor-9th with a city view across to the bay. We thought we would be away from any noise of the road or town nearby but unfortunately there is a late night-1am music club too close that has a rowdy crowd til 2am. The swimming pool is too small to swim in. The shower head needs changing as it leaks onto the floor and toilet otherwise not a bad hotel. We should add that we have stayed 3 times at the Trailways Motor Inn in a lovely room next to the river. This is in a much quieter position, the facilities are more modern and it gives equally easy access to the town.

The location is excellent; 2 minutes walk to the main street and a plethora of eateries/bars and great shopping. The hotel is clean and tidy and we found the service to be excellent. We will definitely stay there again.

Modern and well presented hotel in central Nelson. Clearly caters to the business/conference/tour market, but the rooms are large and the bathroom excellent. Also has a gym and is only a few minutes walk to town and easy to park a car. Maybe lacks a bit of character compared to smaller hotels in Nelson, but has all the facilities that you need.

All fine with excellent service. Room 408 however had no connection to an outside line. Local calls needed to be dialed via the operator.
