BUG review
This is a brilliant accommodation choice for Nelson. Accents has a central location and a high standard of accommodation. The dorms are immaculate, with comfortable made up beds. The bathrooms are spotless, with nice showers and hairdryers. There is a large, fully stocked kitchen, and an excellent small bar with cheap food and drink. It is in a century-old building with warm colours and soft lighting and a small veranda overlooking the park. Facilities include laundry, internet access ($5 per hour including Wi-Fi) and a cute courtyard with a barbecue. Everything is wonderfully maintained and reception staff are welcoming and helpful. It’s a great value hostel.

This was the best hostel i've stayed in. Really friendly owners who where very helpful (even got up early at 6am to open the bar so us footy fans could watch the champions league final), very clean, comfy beds and close to town. A must for anyone stopping in Nelson. I was only goin to stop for 2 nights but ended up there for over a week!
