The location is perfectly centred right in the town. The building is old and has character which I like, but best of all it’s very clean! The staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s my second day there and I would certainly stay there again!

Great location & staff, room was less than stellar
The hotel is super conveniently located and walking distance from everything and there's even a lovely cafe next door. The staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. Unfortunately, my room was less than stellar. There was hair left in the bathroom from the previous person who stayed there, and the room smelled like someone had smoked in it. Also head's up, there's some construction going on across the street so be ready for an 7:45am wake-up.

Friendly Staff Made the Difference
Very friendly staff. Hotel is in the heart of downtown Nelson. Parking is limited and guests should know they have to take stairs to their rooms. There is a community fridge and coffee available in a common room. It's a pleasant hotel and I intend to stay there on my next visit.
