Bridge Backpackers

I stayed at Bridge Backpackers on two occasions during my recent trip to Nelson. The first time I stayed in a single room with ensuite and the second in a single room with shared bathroom. I enjoyed both my stays. The rooms are a good size and beds were comfortable. The communal kitchen and dining area is a good size, with great facilities. Showers were good and the shared facilities were still quite private and clean. The laundry facilities are shared between the hostel and guests so they were in use a lot (ie, washing hostel sheets and towels) which meant they weren't available often but I still got my washing done. The property is very secure, well-located and very reasonably priced. I will stay again on my next trip.

Fantastic. Loved staying here. Comfortable. Nice feel about it. Great rooms. Modern facilities.

i enjoyed my stay here. i spent 2 nights on two separate days and actually got the same room which had a private bathroom. so i'm just going to review both stays on this one review. staff were friendly and helpful. i had ordered a part for my camera and they held it for me. i was also able to store my luggage for free while i was on the Abel Tasman Track because i was staying another night there, otherwise it's a small fee. towels were included in the price which was nice. i didn't really use the common dining room/lounge area but it was very big and nice. kitchen was large as well. i mainly kept my food in the fridges. it's also very close to the electric buses that will take you to the Nelson airport and the drop off area for some of the Able Tasman shuttle. also very close to some nice little restaurants and shops and i was able to walk to the New World for groceries. basically it's very conveniently located.

We were two couples soo booked two ensuite rooms. There was a super fast heater in each room that made the room very warm very quickly. This is much appreciated. The shower was very hot and powerful. There was good signage throughout the property about quiet times and it seemed all the guests abided by the rules which was absolutely fantastic.

The room we were in was great. Spacious and comfortable. The common room and kitchen were awesome also. Also like that the entire place had coded doors to get in so it was completely secure.
