Have moved on after a beautiful 4 month long stay in New Zealand. I spent 3 weeks alone in Nelson at the Paradiso Hostel while I only planned for one :-) Great place! I had a four share room bed and heaps of fun meeting others, relaxing by the pool or chilling out in a hammock with my book. My... more

My wife and I spent two days in this charming accomodation. We made our reservations from the I-site in Wellington. The price was quite reasonable. We arrived in the early evening on our first night, rush hour for a hostel. We waited a bit for our turn, but the staff was very personable. We stayed in the main house which... more

Our cottage was dirty and very old. The shower was never warm and was directly over the toilet...and the shower water never drained. We checked out two days earlier. I will add that the staff was very nice. more

We stayed Paradiso Apartments (separate building from the nearby hostel building) for 2 nights. The room was like a motel-room, not super new, but at least not worn and musty smelling like old motel rooms. Room was spacious and had a nice kitchen corner with coffee/tea bags, cutlery, fridge etc. The bath tub had a jacuzzi, however, as it was... more

I turned up at Paradiso on a tour bus and had the most amazing time ever. Right from when we all checked in to when we had to depart a couple days later. Rhonda at reception is so lovely, she helped us with so much during our stay. I really don't know how Rhonda does it, she seems to be... more

Paradiso has got to be THE WORST hostel we've ever come accross. Don't be fooled by the great-looking pix from the website and the raving reviews. We've recently visited, and were horrified with the REAL Paradiso (see pix we took of our room). Rhonda, the VERY RUDE operator/receptionist was not at all surprised and symphathetic when we complaint over the... more

We just came back from our big tour of NZ and I had to comment on the AMAZING service and fun we had at Paradiso,I am stunned by the comments made about Rhonda,without her our stay would not have been as memorable, from the start Rhonda was there for us for anything at anytime and sorted out many deals for... more

I was interested in staying in the apartments and contacted the hostel to make a booking. I have never been so disgusted with the level of service I received from the operator, Rhonda. She refused to give me a confirmation email of the booking and just insisted that I should take her word for the booking. It is standard for... more

You will have a great time here whether you want to or not. Def the best hostel I have stayed in so far. Even though it is very busy and very lively it is still extremely clean. It also has to be one of the freindliest I have stayed in. Nelson has plenty to do and the hostel also has... more
