What guests think

Cloudside Hotel is a friendly, well-kept boutique stay in a renovated heritage house near downtown Nelson, consistently praised for its walkable location, homelike feel, very clean and comfortable rooms, thoughtful little touches, and welcoming, helpful staff.

Room sizes vary widely, from spacious suites to very small rooms, and a few have private bathrooms located down the hall. Parking is limited and access involves many stairs due to the historic building; some guests noted the hotel helped with street-meter parking. Expect a charming, quiet base in a character home.

Huge, beautiful room, with a little sun porch. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. There was only room for four cars in their parking lot but if you had to park on the street they even fed the meter for you. We would absolutely stay there next time we're in Nelson

Chris, who greeted us on arrival, was very friendly and welcoming. The room had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean, very neat and a super comfortable bed. The touch of humour in the house rules made them fun to read. The mini kitchenette in the passage was great with microwave, fridge, cutlery and crockery. Higly recommended.

The Cloudside Hotel check-in process was a breeze, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean, and the bed was comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and the back deck patio. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in town.

Superb stay. Only one night, wished we had stayed for several more. Just a warning - steep stairs in the front to get to the hotel. Never tried the back entrance, so I do not know about that. Would definitely stay here again if in Nelson.

The room was beautiful, we even had our own enclosed porch! The amenities were excellent and it was all wrapped up in a late 19th century converted house. The location was the best of all, it is located just one block from Baker St. which is the heart of town with tons of shops, restaurants and two brew pubs! My only concerns were parking, the hotel only has room for 4 cars and stairs. If you're older like we are, or you have a lot of luggage it's going to be a bit of a struggle getting up and down the stairs. Those are the only two issues we encountered staying here. And really the location of the hotel and the beautiful rooms are worth the trouble.

Two couples stayed in the Cherry Tree suite. It suited our needs perfectly. Kitchen seating was a bit tight for 4 people but workable. We really enjoyed the upper outdoor patio deck for a drink and game of cards. Lots of stairs which could be a problem for some guests. Excellent location right near a fabulous coffee shop! I have stayed here in the past and would definitely stay again.

Perfect location for exploring downtown Nelson! The sycamore room is very spacious and I loved the little sunroom that came with it! Room came very well equipped with a mini fridge and cutting board. My only comment would be that I wished it came with better toiletries. It would be nice to see local vendors products in the space.

I knew I booked a smaller room but didn’t realize exactly how small it is. Good thing we didn’t have large suitcases otherwise I wouldn’t know how to fit them into this room. In hindsight I should’ve booked a bigger room for better comfort. The room is sparkling clean and quiet. The front of the hotel has lots of stairs so it is better to unload luggage at the back which has just a few steps up and the back door is on the 2nd floor.

We would stay here again because of how nice it is and how convenient. Virtually all the dining and shopping is walkable and safe from this location. The private bathroom in the Cedar Room is outside the room which is fine but needs consideration. Otherwise our room was exceptional. I appreciated the quietness of everything.

Great location. We stayed in the Aspen which was quite small. There were 2 small chairs in the room which were useless as was the 5 drawer highboy. No choice but to sit on the bed to watch TV. I would recommend a larger room with furnishings more conducive to the size of the room and the needs of the traveller. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great location, but our room was smaller than rooms I have stayed in when I was in Tokyo! This is more of a bed and breakfast vibe than a hotel. The bed was small and uncomfortable. And the WiFi was very slow.

We stayed in the Sycamore Room and it was beautiful. Very well cared for with every amenity provided. A was very welcome as it was hot in Nelson during our stay. Staff was very accommodating as we showed up early on a motorcycle and needed a reprieve from the heat. Parking is limited but free if you get one. Also this place is not suitable if you have difficulty with stairs. There are a lot of stairs! We have stayed here for our last three visits to Nelson and will definitely stay here again.

A unique stay in the heart of downtown. An incredible amount of delicious food and drink options all were in walking distance. There was limited parking but the hotel was able to accommodate us. The owner was working the desk and he was a wealth of information about the area and fun to chat with. This is not your typical corporate hotel stay. The rooms are in a cool old Victorian house and are uniquely appointed. There were plenty of stairs so this might not be the best option for those with mobility issues.

This hotel is easily the best I’ve stayed at in Nelson. I genuinely feel like I’m staying at a great friends house not a hotel. The front desk clerk was so so kind and welcoming. I feel fully equipped with cutlery, dishwear, coffee and tea. I feel well taken care of, especially due to the little things, ice cubes in the freezer, makeup removing wipes, full size shower products, and coffee creamer for my morning joe. I will be returning many many times (despite me living within 10 blocks of the property.)
