The Bug 226 Vanguard Street, Nelson Tel (03) 539 4227 Website www.thebug.co.nz BUG review Besides its great name, this hostel is a great choice for several reasons. It is a small, smartly decorated hostel with great atmosphere and facilities. The common areas and dorms are sleek and clean, with new, comfortable mattresses and beds made up with nice duvets and bedside lights. The fully-equipped kitchen is spacious and the bathrooms are new and spotless. Double rooms are exceptionally well appointed. They offer laundry facilities, free use of bicycles, free airport pickup and unlimited free internet (including Wi-Fi access). There is a laid-back, convivial atmosphere here, and the owner is friendly and interesting.

lu666666   UK   2 reviews       Excellent hostel, fantastic staff. Friendliest hostel in NZ 30 October 2007 Pros: Very friendly staff (and dog)! Amazing showers. Cons: A little out of the centre but worth it!      lu666666 saw things this way Maintenance    (5) Cleanliness    (5) Facilities    (4) Atmosphere    (5) (Review ID: 6129) I stayed for 10 days, some on my own and some with my partner. Steph and Andy were so helpful and friendly, they just couldn't do enough for the guests. I love the VW bug theme... not overdone but quirky. Rooms were always clean and warm, with heaters provided for those cold nights, and lovely comfy beds. Lots of bathrooms, just like you'd have at home, with the most amazing showers I've ever found in a hostel. Free internet access and wireless. Brand new kitchen - really good facilities overall. I would love to go back   9 of 16 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?
