Top Nelson Hotel Reviews

Motel Mount Gambier

10/10 Excellent

"We needed a place to stay for one night. This place was perfect. Cheap and cheerful. It was very out dated and in need of some TLC. In saying that it was very clean and tidy Bed was very comfortable."

Grand Central Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This is an old property and consequently the price is cheap, however it is well maintained with everything you need. We were very satisfied."

Nightcap at Federal Hotel Mt Gambier

10/10 Excellent

"Booked a Twin queen room and was upgraded to 3 bedroom studio apartment. What a surprise ! Super comfy couches, beds, split aircon throughout the property. Large Kitchen and dining (which we did not use!) and 2 large renovated bathrooms. Check in was quick from the bar and staff were very friendly. Good options to eat nearby. Will recommend 100%."
