Reviews and Ratings
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had a cool vibe at a fantastic price in Nelson. The staff was friendly and helpful, even retrieving an item I had forgotten in my room. The availability of coffee was a nice touch.
I stayed at this hotel and found it to be a mix of positives and negatives. The room I got was quite small for the price paid, but it was nicely done and comfortable. I had requested a quiet room during my reservation, but I was placed on the 2nd Floor, facing both the side street and back parking lot, which turned out to be great as it allowed me to watch parking availability open up.
This hotel is a gem! The rooms are spotless and comfortable, making it ideal for almost anyone. Yes, there was some noise from the hallway, but the room layout was functional and pleasant. The service was top-notch with excellent amenities available, though the price was slightly high. The location couldn't be beat, being close to everything in the heart of town. Dining was good, albeit a bit pricey, offering a nice selection of dishes. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups.
I had a mix of experiences at the hotel. The room was a bit noisy, but the location allowed us a good view of the parking availability. The size of the room was a bit small for the cost, even during the off-season.
The hotel's location is perfect for walking around Nelson and is right from the moment I checked in. The rooms were basic and could be better as there was no shower and noise from music starting early every day. Dining was good, albeit a bit expensive, offering traditional Greek dishes.
The hotel had some positives like a good location near downtown Nelson and not far from the waterfront, but the rooms with bunk beds and single beds above double beds overlooked a liquor store parking lot, where young people gathered in the evening to smoke pot. The lack of soundproofing and amenities like a fridge or coffee pot in the room were not ideal.
