Went to Little Nel's for breakfast. Been before and still excellent. Good value for a really nice, indulgent breakfast. While this is not a regular haunt, it is always good. Downside?? It is always good and too many people know about it!!!

Location is 10/10, everything at your doorstep.
All staff weee super helpful and friendly.
Room was clean and comfy but the bed.... Way too soft, to the point of being uncomfortable.

It was a very pleasent stay for 3 days. We really enjoyed the stay throughout. A basic amenities but truly worth exploring. Close to wharf, behind the town centre it was worth exploring this place. Highly recommend. One thing I would like you highlight, how much they care for you... Had to chance to travel across the world but hardly find any hotel or motel provides you sewing kit. I found it here and I really needed it to use. So thank you so much for giving me ane mu family a great comfort.

Would definitely stay here again. Top location - close to shops, Marina and Woolworths. Room was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Plenty of parking. Really friendly and helpful staff - nothing was too much trouble. Excellent cafe downstairs with a varied menu for breakfast. Cannot fault this place and recommend highly.

I can't fault the hotel, good prices and very friendly service. Our room was exactly as advertised and we had a view of The town and some of the bay. There was a good size smart TV in the room and free WiFi to stream all our favourite shows

Lovely welcome on arrival from reception. A cocktail making kit and cheese platter were awaiting us in our room that we had pre-booked which was amazing & the pool area feels like your away in another paradise with a heated pool, bocce area & beautifully landscaped garden. Our room was spacious enough for the 5 of us however being next to the road side was a bit noisy with traffic however not a bother really.

We booked Hotel Nelson the morning of our stay. The room (number 34) on the second floor was lovely. 2 large beds, a modern bathroom, kitchenette, peekaboo views of the water, split system heater and a lovely balcony. It was only a few minutes walk to our whale watching tour. It has a beautiful heated pool and a cafe with delicious food I highly recommended this hotel.

Wonderful experience for a family. After a long trip we had the best sleep at this hotel. good location, excellent sound proof rooms (quiet and nice), entertainment with a big screen.. They should look at upgrading the shower which is really out of place for such a great hotel.

Stayed at Hotel Nelson over the weekend for my partner and I's anniversary. Hotel Staff were kind enough to gift us a bottle of sparkling and some chocolate!
Rooms were styled perfectly, were clean and tidy, Pool was beautiful and the perfect place to hang out!
Marina views from the balcony and only a short walk away!
This would be one of my favourite hotels can't wait to stay again!

Great location. We had a two bedroom apartment. Building is older but rooms were clean and had everything you need. Robes and complimentary mini bar items were a nice touch. Staff were very friendly. Free late checkout and no issues adding a rollaway bed for us in the living room at no extra charge. The Little Nel cafe downstairs was great amazing breakfast menu, fast service and great coffee. We didn't go anywhere else.

Perfectly located to the Marina and local shops. Queen room, balcony with view of town and marina, super comfy bed, kitchenette with microwave and sufficient cutlery and plates. Pool perfect temp and plenty of guest parking. Handy to have Little Nel cafe right next door.

Has everything you want. Loved the pool. Wish we had time to try the steam room. Mattress was a too soft. Great location. I'm walking distance to everything you need.

Needing a weekend away? This is the place to go.
The room we stayed in was modern,tidy and included robes.
The cafe downstairs "The Little Nel" had great quality coffee and amazing breakfast food.
The rooms had personalised drawn pictures on the numbers which I thought was a nice touch to the stay.
Hotel Nelson is a great location, only a short distance from shoal bay and restaurants. It's the perfect vacation spot.

Clean and cosy hotel. I stayed in the King Superior room with the views of the Marina and it was amazing. Unfortunately the pool was being serviced at the time so I wasn't able to use it. The hotel is so close to the town centre and the ferry wharf. They will even give you the pass code to take a short cut from the hotel to the town centre. The bed is so comfortable, the whole place is very clean. Staff are also welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately they don't do dinner but the breakfast and lunch is enough to get me through the day. I had the most delicious Salmon Eggs Benedict, it was actually bacon on the menu but I replaced it with salmon and it was divine. I'll definitely recommend this place.

Great value accommodation in a fantastic location. Staff were very friendly and helpful; and a complimentary room upgrade never goes astray. An older building but the rooms are well appointed, clean and comfortable. Right across the road from the Marina precinct and the main shops of Nelson Bay. Walls a little thin but that only adds to the entertainment when you have amorous neighbours. A great place to stay.

Very nice room, was able to accomodate 5 people in a single room. Swimming pool and parking are nice. Location is very good with restaurants and cafes nearby. Only problem was that the shower was at a very low height. I'm 6'3" and had to bend all the time I was in the shower. It's not even a hand-held shower, so was really difficult to fit in that tight space.

Clean, quiet with comfy beds. Super convenient to have a Tesla charger on site and a great cafe attached to the lobby.
Also a great location being at the marina's edge.

We got the whale watching package with the superior king suit. Friendly staff located within a stones throw from the marina and great value for money. Would definitely consider booking here again on our next trip.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Nelson - lovely room with a sea view. Friendly staff and beautifully equipped - the cafe is excellent. One suggestion is to install a grab rail to facilitate access to the shower.

The Hotel is nice, check in was easy with convenient parking. Location is great. Room is clean. Pool is nice.

Reason for 3 stars - there is no door between the bedroom and bathroom in our double room (41, ~$180 per night, see photos). This seems a very interesting design choice. Everyone enjoys open plan layouts, however this might be to the extreme. Hopefully you are intimately comfortable with all aspects of your roommate.

Loved this hotel. Headline was the service both during our stay and after. Left my laptop behind. Debbie Saunders on reception did a great job packing it up and couriering it to us in port macquarie. 6 star effort

Just returned from a four day stay and everything about it was great. Starting from the friendly check in process through to the clean recently renovated rooms. We stayed in the one bedroom apartment which was perfect for our small family. The pool was great for splashing around with the kids.The location was great. Walking distance to the marina and the little nel cafe which is part of the hotel served some of the best breakfasts I have had.We will definitely be back.

This hotel has been renovated and each decision in both styling and practicality has been well thought out. The pool is a lovely space with adequate seating, very clean and a lovely place to relax. The bed was extremely comfortable and the rooms were well set out with adequate space to relax and play cards or read not just sleep. We were on the road side and the soundproofing on the windows was excellent we couldn't hear normal traffic, however, the soundproofing between guest rooms could be improved.

Very rude staff. We have been coming to Nelson Bay for over 10 years When we arrived for breakfast with a large family of 10, while it was raining, we were asked to stand aside by restaurant staff while waiting for our seats, our children were playing under the cover and reception staff rudely yelled at us and didnt even give us a chance to explain why we were waiting there. There is no communication between the restaurant staff and hotel staff. A little common courtesy goes along way. You have definitely lost customers And we arent hesitant to advise other friends and family to stay away. There are many other places that are welcoming and accommodating.
