A very nice highend, very well maintained motel in Nelson. I can tell that they care about their property and keep it up to the standard. The kitchenette has anything you need to cook. However, there is no ventilation system so you have to open windows to air the smell out. Lovely gesture of chocolate for guests in the fridge. Comfortable bed with heat pump in the room. Highly recommended and will be back again.

Very well appointed motel room. We were (very) worried about the road noise especially as we had room 201 that faces the very busy road. However the property supplies earplugs and, more effectively, a white noise generator. Couple this with the immaculately clean and well equipped room and the super friendly staff we can’t but recommend the Palazzo.

Very nice place to stay in Nelson. Clean and comfortable, the room had a small kitchenette that we didn't expect but appreciated, and just overall felt upscale. Staff were very friendly. Location was great and within walking distance of lots of great restaurants. Slightly limited parking, but it was off-street and easy to use. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment for two nights, it was very clean and very well appointed, quiet, and convenient walk to supermarkets and downtown restaurants. Upon checking we were given a lot of recommendations for things to do and see in the surrounding areas and places to eat. Would highly recommend!

The staff at the front desk was great! Very helpful and provided great recommendations. Loved that it was in walking distance to many of the sights and restaurants/ bars in Nelson. Bed was very comfortable. Great value for the price. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay at the Palazzo Motor Lodge.
Our studio was large, well equipped, comfortable and quiet.
Staff were all very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
The location is great for getting around town and there are good bus links nearby if you want to go further afield without driving.

Spacious and tidy. We were close to road so some minor traffic noise.
There was a problem with the shower. 1. Quite low pressure. 2. But the variable temperature whilst showering bordered on dangerous.
Water flowing at 39 (had a visual temp gauge) could randomly climb above 50

Robyn was so welcoming and helpful. She really made our stay and ensured we would stay here next time. . She provided excellent suggestions for restaurants too.
The hotel is a short walk to everything. Very quiet. We stayed at another inner city hotel prior to our hike at Abel Tasman. That site was quite noisy and nowhere near as comfortable as the Palazzo.

Really nice check-in. We were given a map of the community and great tips about places to eat and interesting streets and things to see.
The room was super clean and it had such lovely touches, like a phone charger, kitchen area with dishwasher, very comfortable bed and sitting area. Very nice aesthetically too.

This is a great place to stay, been here before and always my preference. It is so quiet despite being a stone’s throw from the city centre and on a busy road. We had a two bedroom unit, it had everything you need, huge rooms, well appointed, nice to have a Nespresso machine, chocolates, good towel supply, really everything was perfect. I thoroughly recommend, super friendly and lovely.

Do not book here. We specifically booked a spa room arrived to a basic room with a shower. Expedia have no idea what rooms they have available so just book you anything but at the cost of the more expensive room. Expedia refused to refund. Palazzo refuse to refund. Payed top dollar for a basic ass room.

It has been a few years since i last stayed at the Palazzo.
Was previously under different management and a great place to stay.
Now has new ownership and if it is possible, it is even better than before. Super comfortable, clean, modern and warm.
Manager is super friendly too.
I have no hesitation in recommending the Palazzo to other travelers.
