Top Nelson Hotel Reviews

Kootenay Wild

10/10 Excellent

"Immaculate room, perfect layout, and amazing views. Kootenay Wild delivers comfort, cleanliness, and smart design for one great stay."

Blaylock's Mansion

10/10 Excellent

"Blaylock has everything you would expect in a stately manor house. A grand stairway leads to a landing with a dramatic window overlooking the gardens and the lake. The owner, Brett, is a charming host and, even though he's busy tending to details, he took the time to chat with us. We were encouraged to settle in with all the comforts of our own home. The bedroom had an unusual ceiling slope, reminiscent of older homes. The bed was so comfy that it was a disappointment to leave it in the morning. We had a wonderful sleep. Before retiring for the evening, we went to the games room, where we watched TV and drank our hot drinks while enjoying the ambiance and richness of the original design. There was a billiards table in the room that would have been fun to play on had we not been so tired. Maybe next time. Outside, we wandered through a flagstone garden with delightful pathways, water features, and interesting plants. The manor was in full autumn color, with reddish leaves on the vines along its front and sides, giving it an old-world charm. Because Blaylock is a private residence, guests have privacy and can wander without being crowded by the public. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the grounds. I would choose to stay at Blaylock any time of year, but alas, it is a seasonal facility, so summer would be best."

Bright Lakeside Retreat: King Bed & Willow Views

10/10 Excellent

"Great little place to stay for a weekend in Nelson. Close to downtown, quiet, and very comfortable. The space was clean, had everything we needed and the hosts were very responsive throughout the process. I would absolutely stay here again."

Kokanee Glacier Resort

8/10 Good

"Much older property with clear attempt to patch up…at least it was clean. Entrance to property from our direction was closed and the other entry is at an angle on a curve..felt a bit intimidating trying to turn with all the traffic. For those that are used to basic bathroom items in stock, there’s No hairdryer."
