I stayed there while traveling back / forth to Baldface lodge catskiing - couldn't make it there without an overnight stay.

The Hume is an older hotel & all that you would expect with an older place (ammenities aren't completely up to date), but the staff is very friendly & they try their hardest to take care of you.

As I was staying on a weekend, they put me up on the 4th floor to get away from the potential noise of the bar & nightclub on the lower floors (it seems those are the place to be in Nelson for partying). A word of warning if you do the same - the heating is old fashioned radiators & there is no thermostat - it got pretty hot up there - I had to open the window (in the middle of winter ) to cool it down + run a fan they have left in the room. I am not sure if the same issue exists in other rooms or floors, but you might want to check with the staff on that.

Other than that, no complaints.

Every part of this hotel is awesome! I've frequented the pub, lounge, club, restaurant and liquor store for years and NOW I have tried the actual hotel. The best part about the Hume is the staff. The service here is TOP NOTCH every time! The room was cool. It had an old-west vibe to it. Apparently Willie Nelson once stayed in the room I stayed in. Room #222

The food is amazing, the best pizza in Nelson. They make a mean caesar there too.

The Hume is one of those rare hotels that is authentically charming and hip, all at the same time. The Hume has tons of character, like you'd expect from a gold rush town, and it's been cherished and renovated to highlight that history. The rooms and hallways are quaint with lots of great old photos and furniture, but the beds are comfy and there's free WiFi. We always look forward to staying here. It is seriously one of our favourite hotels ever! Highlights include the Library Lounge (our favourite), one of the coziest places to have a drink. We always feel lucky if we're there on a Sunday to catch local musician, Niko, strumming guitar and singing like Chet Baker. There are many options when it comes to eating and drinking at the Hume . There's Mike's Place Pub which is always entertainingly busy with a young university pub vibe and great food specials. We had a big plate of yummy spaghetti for $6.99. There's also the General Store Restaurant with funky booths and decorative antiques and complimentary breakfast with your stay... which i might add was not the usual cereal and muffins. I ate a shrimp benedict with creamy dill sauce. The basement of the Hotel even has a "state of the art" nightclub (Spirit Bar) with a great sound system and a surprisingly packed schedule of world class DJs and bands. There's even a liquor store, spa and a hair salon. I can't say enough good things about this place. The staff is super friendly and you really feel "at home" here. I went to dinner in my socks. :)

Whenever we come to Nelson, the Hume Hotel is there to welcome us with charm and a smile. From the lounge and general store, guest services or the pub, the professional and gracious staff surpass expectations and keep up coming back every time.
