Stayed 2 nights in the newly remodeled 'Rapunzel' room. Beautiful room with granite countertops, wood floors and beautiful french doors overlooking downtown Nelson. Would love to give them 2 more stores, but unfortunately the remodel is also part of the problem. There is absolutely zero soundproofing between the rooms. The first night the TV next door was so loud (plus... More

We are sorry you found the walls thin - what may have contributed to this is the fact that underneath you is a third floor renovation with zero sound proofing under your floor at this point. Within a few weeks we should have the insulation installed and covered with drywall which should assist immensely. We are glad you found them... More

My first stay at the Hume and I loved it. The staff was friendly and helpful in answering all questions and making recommendations. The restaurant and lounge were inviting with great menus. And the renovated rooms on the fourth floor are beautiful and spacious. The only reason I'm not rating it higher at this point is because of the third... More

Our apologies for the third floor noise. We have been up front with everyone when making a reservation that from now up to July we are putting the finishing touches on the third floor. The noise goes from 9am to 5pm. We do not have the sound barrier in between floors as of yet so it is noisier than it... More

Is the second time I stayed at the Hume, and I really like it. There are two not very good poin:first, the bathtub is small and depends on your room, can be very noisy in the morning. Important to mention the amazing breakfast and the good service.

We only spent one night at The Hume on a road trip for the May long weekend but it was a lovely hotel. The renovations are still ongoing but the 4th floor is finished and is absolutely beautiful. Our double queen room was roomy well decorated and the beds are so comfy. Our breakfast was included in the price and... More

I recently had the pleasure of spending my anniversary at The Hume Hotel and I can't say enough how much I enjoyed my trip. The staff were amazing, from the lovely front desk ladies to the manager of the hotel. The rooms were beautifully renovated and I highly recommend the upgrade. Thank you so much for everything!

Stayed at the Hume Hotel for the first time since 1983. Everything was excellent EXCEPT ...DO NOT STAY THERE IF THE BASEMENT NIGHT CLUB IS OPEN. Between the boom, boom, boom, from the basement and the parking lot street fight below our room window, I barely slept. Everything else was fine. This hotel has to clarify its business model: what...

Thanks for the review. If 1983 was the last time you stayed here, that was also the last year that we did not have a cabaret in the basement. In 1984, we opened the doors to what was then called 'The Boiler Room'. The Spiritbar is now only open on weekends and various other select dates. We always tell everyone... More

I stayed at the Hume a couple weekends ago with my husband and son when we were on a short weekend getaway from our home in Spokane. The room renovations they have done are beautiful! Always great service from their staff--we alway enjoy eating at their restaurants too and would recommend this hotel/restaurants to anyone traveling to Nelson.

Overall we had a great couple of nights at the Hume. Bear in mind that it is an historic building and that this is it's charm. If you're looking for a "modern" you might look elsewhere, but our second floor room was comfortable and felt authentic for the period with historic photographs and appointments without feeling too rustic... Service was... More

The hotel itself was very nice, rooms were clean. And the continental breakfast offered the next morning was delicious! Not to mention our server was soo nice!

I am really sorry that you felt mistreated when you were heading back to your room at 1am. As with many hotels, only registered guests are allowed up to the rooms after 11pm for security reasons. Typically on weekends as well, many people attempt to head up to hotel rooms to continue partying. This is strictly prohibited in our property... More
