Admiral Nelson Motor Inn

Old motel beautifully presented. They could show other motels how to make a dated place look good. Property so clean as were rooms. Daily service, we were here four nights. The rooms are large, balcony. On,y one area for improvement and that could cost money - bathrooms need updating. Apart from that, very good value for money. And friendly folk also.

A lovely hotel with large and very clean rooms with good air conditioning (summertime). Friendly owners. Great location that is close to beaches, town centre and Wests RSL. We enjoyed our stay and will return for an extended time next time we visit Nelson Bay.

This was a wonderful find, especially during the busy school holidays, and at a reasonable price. I arrived after reception was closed, but was sent a message on how to obtain the key, then a very detailed note with the key to direct me to my room. The room was very spacious and clean. I immediately noted that the airconditioning was not directly over the bed - which is great for me; also a sliding door to the balcony for optional natural air. There was a microwave, toaster, tea and coffee making facilities. The reception and cleaning staff were very friendly and polite and you felt that nothing was a problem for them. My room had a balcony which was great to sit out on in the evening, and also in the morning having breakfast - with kookaburras coming to sit in the tree opposite. They have a pool, BBQ and an outdoor sitting area. No restaurant on site, but there is one across the road, and Wests Diggers just around the corner in walking distance. A fridge in reception where you can buy some extra milk and some other drinks and snacks if needed. Walking distance to the beach. A lovely restful and happy atmosphere at this motel. I look forward to returning again one day.

We love this Motel - away from the crowds but minutes from everything with the beach just down the road. The rooms are large, very clean and well appointed - a little old fashioned but very comfortable. The staff are amazing - we have stayed before and will definitely stay again - thank you for another lovely relaxing time spend in beautiful Nelson Bay !

the room was very neat and clean, the bed was excellent, so comfortable, staff friendly and ready to help with any requirements. Such a lovely place, will stay there again.

I found the property to be extremely clean and it smelt very fresh.

The nicest staff, very friendly and polite, made our stay very comfortable. Super clean rooms and property very well maintained. Short walk to Diggers Club for a meal. A little gem away from the hustle of the busy town centre. Excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend for a budget get away.

Just what we were looking for and found, as usual, by reading Tripadvisor reviews!!!!! As we are now VERY aged travellers specially me, with my newly acquired walking stick, we really NEED somewhere where we can spend a few days now and then in one of our favourite places not too far from home! And from all I could read in Tripadvisor, this was going to be it!!! I booked through the property and spoke to Kam, mentioning that we needed somewhere where our car was close to the room and when we arrived a couple of hours early we popped in to check if the room might be ready earlier and met Kam, who greeted us with the remembered Thai hospitality and we could check in right away! She had allocated us the beautiful room 3 which had everything we wanted! Two comfortable beds, an excellent bathroom with rails in the right place, big TV and all we need to 'eat at home' and so near to Shoal Bay and all our favourite eateries!!!! All with beautiful Thai decor!!!!!! Yes, we have booked for later in the year!!!!! Extremely well priced for us too. Many thanks Kam and looking forward to seeing you again.

Our room was spotlessly clean 10/10 to housekeeping.
