Don’t be put off by the “hippy” demeanour of the hotel or the low star rating. The rooms are very clean and very specious. Location is perfect for food and shopping.

The only good thing about this hotel is location to good restaurants and shopping. Otherwise it has paper thin walls you can here EVERYTHING especially at night. Had to leave a day early because of unresolved nightly disruptions.

Filthy and unprofessional staff
We left a night early because we could not be asked to lay in absolute filth anymore. The room was extremely dirty. We went to check out and cancel the last night but a refund was not issued even though the place was horrid. The staff was rude and unprofessional from the moment we got there. One morning I care down and went to get a coffee but the cream and sugar was put away (I drink mine black so I didn’t notice). They were annoyed and then scolded me saying coffee time ended 5 minutes ago. It was an unnecessary comment to make. location is great. Room was very small. Overall I do not recommend this place. Loads of other hotels to choose from close to or in the centre. We took the hit and moved to a hotel a block away. It wasn’t worth staying the last night after how poorly we were treated.

Basic but clean and a great rate.
Main downside is sound seems to travel well here. We had no issues with late night/early morning noises, but the potential may be there.

Inn Nelson
Centrally located in downtown Nelson. Friendly staff. Nice clean , comfortable rooms. Not the best for quiet, though. Sound proofing should be improved. Could hear people in the halls and the neighbours talking through the walls all night.
If you don’t mind hotel with no parking, no elevator. (stairs are many and steep), no fridge, no microwave, power socket come off from wall , then this is your hotel. Room also very small ,big enough to fit1queen bed and night table on each side .
