Central location with Restaurant Pub on one side of the hotel and Bakery on the other. Did not use the Sauna but a very enjoyable one night stay at this Boutique style hotel. Would continue the Adventure on my next visit to Nelson, no hesitation.

I have been staying at the Adventure for years. I actually stayed there when it was The Lord Nelson. It’s in a great location and you can walk to all the shops and restaurants. The parking is limited so if you are able to get a spot you should probably walk to everything anyway.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Stay at the Adventure Hotel! We had a great experience at the Adventure Hotel in Nelson, BC. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The hotel is in an excellent location, right in the heart of Nelson and within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops, and everything downtown has to offer. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The combination of the great location, clean accommodations, and outstanding customer service made our stay extremely enjoyable. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend the Adventure Hotel to anyone visiting Nelson. Thank you to the entire staff for making our stay such a great experience!

The location is very central if you want to walk around Nelson. It's easy to get to a lot of things. The highlights of the trip were Empire Coffee (which made different amazing muffins every day) and the common kitchen space (which had a nice sink/microwave and a big ice machine). The staff was also really lovely and helpful. The cons were the lack of elevator (it's an older building), the lack of storage space in the bathroom if you are travelling with a family, the glass door for the bathroom, the parking (there are only about 10 designated spaces or so) and the noise (from the loud AC, nearby amorous guests and bars nearby). Although it was much quieter earlier in the week (Mon- Wed).
