Tasman Bay Backpackers Reviews

As you can clearly see, I loved this place. Great location 5 minute walk from the shops, and this was a lovely walk over a bridge, views of the river, Beautiful. The hostel had a lovely friendly feel, friendly &knowledgable staff. I arrived the fire alarm was sounding, at least it works, and they test it. Lounge and dining area I really liked, there is also lots of information about the area, things to do placed into folder, for quick reference. The rooms clean and tidy, as were the toilets.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Tasman Bay, the delicious chocolate pudding and ice cream was definitely a bonus! It's a great way to bring everyone together in the hostel. Comfy beds, spacious and clean kitchen with plenty of cutlery and dishes to use. About a 10 minute walk into town and a free pick up from the bus station. Highly recommend.

Excellent hostel. The staff are very friendly, so willing to answer to your questions. The hostel is clean and the atmosphere was excellent. The pudding is also great!!!

Fantastic stay at the hostel. Great atmosphere, staff super friendly and very helpful and great addition with the chocolate pudding. Thank you for a great stay.

Great free chocolate cake & ice cream!

This hostel is amazing. Best we've stayed in so far. Free chocolate pudding and ice cream is lush. And unlimited free wifi and bikes! No complaints!

Good cozy hostel with good vibe and some character. Twin room #6 is not worth it though since right by the stairs and loud from frequent traffic.

This was by far my best stay in New Zealand so far. Friendly staff. Real homey feel to it. The long DVD list offered is super cool, just make sure you or someone in your room has a laptop to d/l them. Not a far walk to city center. Great stay.

for me the best backpacker in my 4 weeks in New Zealand. I felt very comfortable !

very good hostel, free wifi, free ice cream every night

great little hostel with free pick up from the bus station

Located close to town center. The guy at the reception had a lot of tips and advice. There is free chocolate-pudding/cake every day. The world map on the main wall in the living room was good :-)

The manager was topnotch and the facilities were well kept

Loved the free chocolate cake and ice cream! Everything about the hostel was great and we'd stay there again.

Friendly Atmosphere. Very busy, people constantly coming and going, a very social hostel. Did feel a bit overcrowded at times (Kitchen and bathrooms). There are no staff on duty at night. It is a two storey timber building with no sound insulation apparently. It is very difficult to get a good nights sleep with people singing and walking up and down the hallways at 2am. Lovely gardens to sit in with edible herbs, lots of tour information. Very friendly and helpful staff. A party hostel.

Nice laid back hostel, our room was clean and the decor was nice, the free dessert in the evening was a nice touch. They seem to go the extra mile for their guests. We moved here after staying in a noisy hostel on the same street so was nice to finally get a good nights sleep.

Very clean hostel with friendly and helpful staff.

Everything is great but it was very loud at night since we had the roon next to the reception and the common rooms.

This hostel is amazing. I don't think I've ever been so sad to check out of a hostel. I was only here for one night due to booking the cheap Nakedbus tickets (excellent value if you book well in advance, but they have limited schedules). Next time I go to the South Island I will stay in Nelson (almost definitely at Tasman Bay Backpackers) for a few nights. Great facilities, warm and friendly people... it doesn't get much better than this.

Great! A homey atmosphere and they serve pudding every night at 8! Great hostel
