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.

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?
