Thumbs Up!

Kind and informative receptionist generally seemed to enjoy checking guests in. The location is situated well and walks to downtown, the lakeside trails, or through the neighborhoods of Nelson all are options. The room was quiet.

I gave the hotel a good rating because of the noise. It was very noisy in our room as I could hear noise from the room above and the karaoke that they host on Saturday nights was thumping throughout the hotel but especially in the rooms above the bar area.

I didn’t know what to expect from this place. The photos looked decent but I’m always skeptical with new hotels! I absolutely loved this place. The atmosphere was so fun. I travelled solo this trip and it for sure has a party fun kind of vibe. I don’t think I would recommend for little kids as there is no elevator and many stairs. The wall are pretty thin but the front desk gives you free earplugs. If you’re looking for a typical romantic getaway, this is not it. It’s called the adventurer for a reason!!! Full of life, many stories, and interesting history! It’s a fun place! There are no microwaves and fridges in the rooms, but they have a communal building kitchen where you can store food in fridges. If this weirds you out, don’t stay here! Hotel staff, waiters, other guests; everyone was so friendly! The food in both the pub and the cafe attached is amazing!! Great pizza in the pub and amazing coffee and treats next door! Close to the Hume hotel and Spa, to the Himalayan Salt Cave, and to lots of shops!! Overall great experience!

Great hotel apart from the fact that our room was above the bar and on a Saturday night there is karaoke until midnight. So if you want to go to sleep before midnight on a Saturday don’t get one of the rooms above the bar

Room and beds were great. Outdoor area was not ready for use, fire pit, tables etc. Breakfast was quite late at 9, so we missed it because we needed an early start.
