Hotel is well located and has a lively bar and nice restaurant. Receptionist was friendly, helpful and informative. Our main problem was due to minimal room service as bed was not made up during our 3 night stay and it appeared that only garbage was emptied daily. For $150 per night we expected more. Also noisy for rooms close to the communal kitchen and dining area, where people could be heard talking late at night.

LOUD!!!!!

Our room was right over the bar. We were not told this upon check in or via email ahead of time. Friday night the bar music was loud and kept us awake until midnight. Saturday was karaoke night and it sounded like we were in the bar. The bass made our beds vibrate. It was unbelievable and awful. Sleeping through it was impossible. The night desk clerk felt badly and gave us earplugs but the noise was well beyond that. The daytime staff did not have much sympathy but are probably used to the complaint. Otherwise, the hotel feels like a hostel and has a decent kitchen and deck. The room was clean other than the bathroom floor and grout. Rooms not over the bar probably have a very different experience, but I would never risk staying there again based on our experience.

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
