Second time staying here. Enjoyed the staff, great location to downtown. Common area with coffee/tea in the morning is great. We experienced the restaurant, bar and front desk and without exception, the staff were awesome, Things we felt need attention: the pillows were not comfortable. The showers are clean but are starting to need some maintenance like caulk.
By far my favorite place to stay in Nelson. Clean and comfortable. The staff is great, the food at the pub, the steakhouse, and the attached coffee shop is all excellent. Been 3 or 4 times and will again often as I can.

Overrated and overhyped for my taste.Upstairs was a amorous couple early in the morning and afternoon kept us awake. Room was small and overpriced .Almost same price as NY. Impressed by Nelson and its people but not by the hip overpriced restaurants and hotels.
The hotel and restaurant staff were absolutely incredible - so friendly and helpful with small talk, information and recommendations. No elevator, and the frosted glass bathroom door was a bit unsettling since sharing with a friend, but otherwise the room was clean and comfortable with a great view of the lake. The Empire Coffee shop with homemade baked goods next door was also exceptional. I'm so glad this was our online booking choice!
I had the best vacation here. The staff were beyond excellent. The person who was on duty during the main check-in time was the best of the best! She also has great tips for dining and cool things to do in and around Nelson. My room was really nice, comfortable, and a great place to crash after a full day. I didn’t want to leave, and I’ll be back! You all made my summer!
Good, simple and clean rooms in a convenient area. Our room was not huge, but it was modern and well organized. It reminded me a bit of modern hotels I've stayed at in Asia.

My rating on the staff is too low. The staff were very good.
The hotel had a pretty neat vibe and was pretty clean for an older hotel that has been fixed up. Our biggest complaint would have to be the rock hard beds. It felt like sleeping on a floor with a blanket. We would sleep for 45 minutes then wake up aching and roll over and try to fall back to sleep again.
The walls are paper thin so expect to hear your neighbour snoring. It was a pretty clean little room but no carpets mean you feel the sand on the floor for the three days that we stayed, and we took our shoes off at the door. Obviously not swept or vacuumed during our stay.
On the plus side, the steak house was amazing! Perfectly cooked steaks and not overdone vegetables. Great wine selection and amazing service!
Room was clean and tidy. Staff at reception very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Very close to shops and restaurants.
Would be good if there was a lift.

Parking is horrible, limited parking for guests. Had to park several blocks away in a parking structure. Live band music under our room was extremely loud till midnight!
The hotel had a nice vibe with bright fun colours and a great meeting kitchen area to ensemble food, with kitchen sink, soap, microwave, etc.. The location is super central providing great walking access to so much.
Conveniently located to downtown. Parking is limited.

Good location, walkable to everything. Back parking lot felt a little unsafe for leaving the vehicle. Hotel was clean and staff very friendly. Was over priced for the product.

Needs some basic upgrades - fridges in the rooms, and the TV’s are ancient. Service was excellent as always!
