What is the difference between a 4-star and 3-star hotel in Nelson?
The biggest difference between a 3- and 4-star hotel in Nelson will be the standard of service and availability of creature comforts. Three-star hotels are generally more budget-friendly and include the services and conveniences you need to be comfy, such as breakfast, a gym and WiFi. You can expect a bit more at a 4-star hotel — think upmarket furnishings, deluxe bathroom products and extra touches like day spas.
What is the difference between a 3-star hotel and a motel in Nelson?
A motel is a good option if you’re getting ready to travel around Nelson. These getaways are usually located close to major roads and airports, offer ample parking and come with basic services and amenities. Spend your break at a 3-star hotel and you’ll be more centrally located. With a wider range of rooms and additional amenities like a fitness centre, lobby and business facilities, you can expect to pay extra for hotel accommodation.
Do any 3-star hotels in Nelson have a pool?
Plan a little poolside relaxation and fun at Oxford Court Motel. Or switch from touring attractions to laid-back days by the water at Kings Gate Motel. Both these 3-star getaways with pools are located in Nelson, where the summer months are December, January and February. Average temperatures range from 11ºC at night to 22ºC during the day in January, the warmest month of the year.
What 3-star hotels in Nelson have an on-site restaurant?

Do any 3-star hotels in Nelson have WiFi?
Yes, certainly. Quest Nelson and Kings Gate Motel are a couple of Expedia’s 3-star hotels in Nelson with WiFi. Opt for one of these getaways to easily access weather reports, trip suggestions and tourist information. Remember, this handy amenity may be free or incur an extra cost.
What 3-star hotels in Nelson have parking?
Spend more time relaxing and less time searching for a spot for your wheels at a 3-star hotel with parking. Kings Gate Motel and Quest Nelson are popular options in Nelson. Once you’ve ticked off the major sights in the city, why not fill up the gas tank and venture a bit farther out? Two excellent day trip recommendations from central Nelson include Abel Tasman National Park and Nelson Lakes National Park.
Do any 3-star hotels in Nelson have rooms with a kitchenette?
