    Parking can be a bit tricky. You have to find street parking, or try your luck in their very small parking lot. There is a city parkade available but we did luck out with street parking. Just be mindful of parking meter times. The only thing I would have loved would have been a gym/fitness room.

    Location was great, staff very helpful and friendly. The rooms were very clean and the beds also very comfortable. We were in a room above the pub so were warned it may be a bit noisy, but we didn't have any issues at all. Love the old original, heritage decor. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

    My room was above the pub and was still really quiet. Bed was amazingly comfortable and the room was really large. We had way more room than some of the suites I have rented at other facilities.

    The rooms and everything are very clean, but bc there is a lively bar downstairs there is a slight smell of stale booze downstairs and in the hallways. Some some essential oil diffuser might be a good idea ;)

    It’s a nice, clean historic hotel. If you visit, definitely check out the spa! It is great with nice ppl 🙂

    Lovely hotel, but avoid booking a "pub" room
    • Leisure trip

    • Double Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    We arrived and were told that the Queen room I had booked was a "Pub Queen," meaning that it was above the pub, and we could expect it to be noisy, but not too noisy on weeknights. Are you kidding? I would never have booked a room called a "Pub Queen," if it had been described this way on Booking.com! The only options were to pay more for a suite or take a "European" room on the 4th floor. We accepted the latter and ended up in perhaps the most cramped hotel room I've every stayed in (smaller than Parisian hotel rooms). The bathroom was similarly tiny and cramped. The room was clean and comfortably appointed with nice linens, but it was boiling hot unless we opened a window or turned on the A/C. The pub is a lively place for a drink and entertainment, but one wouldn't want to have a room adjacent to or above it!

    The location of this hotel is excellent - we walked all around downtown Nelson and felt we got to know the city a bit after 4 days. The Hume is a clean, beautiful historic hotel with attentive staff.

    Room was too hot overnight. Dinner food was ok - but not exceptional. Restaurant was empty on a Saturday night - probably reflecting the quality of the food

    Location was excellent - right in town but quiet. Brunch was excellent.

    We didn’t realize that if you don’t book directly with the hotel, you Don’t get the delicious breakfast. We paid $38 dollars for breakfast. We always choose the Hume because the breakfast is great. We were disappointed to have to go off site and hunt for affordable food.

    We were upgraded from a standard room to a 2 bedroom suite. Great view of the mountains and the river.

    Very clean, spacious room. We stayed for 4 nights in a room over the pub and the sound was barely audible. Earplugs are provided but we didn’t need them. Complimentary breakfasts were delicious. Staff was very accommodating and I loved the fruit infused water at the front desk. Will definitely come back. Excellent value for money!

    It sounds like the management are going to be cutting back on certain things to contain costs e.g the Monday night music, which would be a real shame.

    The Hume is a cornerstone of Nelson and has bags of character to make you feel part of a special place. There is something for everyone at this hotel which was highlighted by a very good meal on a Monday evening accompanied by a talented jazz duo. The place buzzed.

    Although the hotel os straight forward with it, it still comes a bit as a surprise how loud it is. Nothing the hotel could do aboit this, but bring your earplugs.

    Great historic building that has been lovingly renovated. Perfect location and awesome Spa within.
