The Green Monkey is not the best Hostel in Nelson, The Green Monkey is not the best Hostel in New Zealand! The Green Moonkey is one of the best Hostels of the world!!! - Sebastian from Germany 18/06/2009

Best Hostel in NZ. Free Internet (Also Wifi!), Free Cake, Free Hot Chocolate + Marshmellows, decent price. It really seems as if the owners are really trying that bit of extra. We were greeted with a smile and they helped us arrange everything. A+++ - anonymous BBH Website11/06/2009

Thankyou for such a comfortable stay here in your superb wee hostel. Its prob one of the best Hostels I've stayed in over the last 3 years of my travels around the World. it feels moore like a home than a hostel - Joe from Scotland 05/06/2009

Since 2 years I was backpacking now, it's one of the best place I've known. free Super cake (your chocolagte cake was a dream), free internet, free smiles, free jokes, free dood atmosphere, free music and your feee good vibrations. And all this, for one of the cheapest price I've seen in a backpacker??? You're kidding, this place can't exist can it?? Anyway I'm very lucky to visit your home for my last days in Nelson coz if I'd start my trip here, I'd never leave. Keep on being the best hostel in the world! - Andrian Mauritius 25/05/2009
