Our server Richard was very professional, pleasant, and provided excellent customer service for the entire dining experience. The special Christmas menu offered a good variety of choices and 1 combo meal that had the traditional Xmas meal that came with soup and a slice of pumpkin pie! My meal was a solid 5 stars. I ordered a well, well done (no pink) filet mignon meal. Let me tell you, compliments to the chef. I believe his name was Chef Paul. This was a perfectly seasoned piece of butter tender well done fillet mignon and the broccolini with potatoes and wine sauce really set it off!!! The entire staff at Hume Hotel displayed the Holiday spirit and professionalism and was a joy.

Hume Hotel & Spa - Hume Restaurant (Nelson, BC) We had an…read moreexceptional Christmas dinner at the Hume Restaurant and were truly impressed from beginning to end. We arrived last minute without a reservation, and despite how busy the evening was, the team graciously found a way to squeeze us in and seat us beautifully. That alone set the tone for an outstanding experience. Our server, Richard, was absolutely wonderful--professional, kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. His service elevated the entire evening, and we felt well cared for the whole time. My mom ordered a well-done filet mignon (she doesn't like any pink at all), which can be a very difficult request. Somehow, the kitchen delivered a steak that was still tender, juicy, and full of flavor. She genuinely said it was the best steak she has ever had, complicated order and all--which says everything. I ordered the steak and prawns, cooked medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. Rich, flavorful, and beautifully plated. We began with soup: I had the homemade borscht, which was comforting and delicious. My mom had the autumn squash soup, which was equally flavorful and well balanced. For drinks, my mom enjoyed a White Russian, and I had the non-alcoholic cranberry spritz, which was refreshing and thoughtfully crafted. Dessert was the perfect ending: Pumpkin pie for my mom Turtle cheesecake for me--absolutely decadent and memorable What made this experience even more special is that we traveled all the way from Spokane to dine here, and it exceeded every expectation. From accommodating us last minute on Christmas to the impeccable food and service, everything was exceptional. We will definitely be back and highly recommend the Hume Restaurant to anyone visiting Nelson. A truly top-tier dining experience.

The owners are extremely accommodating and friendly. The quality of the towels and bedding were exceptional. We had a little fireplace in our room, a king sized bed AND a sunroom. I love to have a tub and my hubby loves a shower and we were both very happy with the bathroom. Don't hesitate booking this hotel as they also have 4 private parking spots which are golden in Nelson!

Gave us restaurant coupons and a key with covid instruction for room service and walking through the halls and foyer. This hotel is lakeside view with a nice walking path and beautiful mountain view. Our room was spacious as well as very clean and stocked with a nice walkout patio with chairs or loungers to sit on, to enjoy the view. The attached restaurant Port701 just reopened in June 2020 with a new chef and servers. We used our coupons the times we were there. Breakfast was wonderful, Dinners fantastic. Really enjoyed our meals and service while we stayed at the hotel. Plenty of parking with a required pass when you check in. Everything is walking distance, uphill both ways. We had exercise whether we like it or not with all the walking we did. We enjoyed our stay that when we return on our next vacation we will definitely stay here again.

All the rooms on the lake view side have balconies or patios with lounge chairs and tables. The rooms are nicely appointed with comfy beds, modernized washrooms and they are sound insulated. Case in point: the room across the hall was blaring Brooks and Dunn, and while it could be heard in the hall, it was undetectable in our room. The on-site restaurant was delicious for breakfast and if you waive housekeeping during your stay, you get a $10 credit for the restaurant. We also tried the coffee shop, and that's a nice stop before walking to the business district or catching the trolley that stops nearby. Finally I also visited the on-site spa. While it's a small spa, my massage and mini facial were really relaxing and enjoyable.

Disappointing Stay - Poor Sleep Due to Constant Noise, Faulty Heater, and No Real Compensation…read more We checked into The Adventure Hotel in Nelson on January 10, 2026, and checked out the next morning after a very frustrating night. Upon returning to our room in the evening, we discovered the TV wasn't working at all, so no chance to relax and unwind as planned. The real issue was the lack of sleep. The wall-mounted heater/cooling unit produced a loud, intermittent buzzing noise that went on all night - impossible to ignore. The floors were extremely creaky; even walking to the bathroom woke up my partner every time. To top it off, around 4 a.m., someone in the room above us started moving furniture or chairs, creating even more disruptive banging. When checking out, I politely explained the issues to the front desk staff and mentioned I hadn't slept at all due to the constant noise. I was hoping for some goodwill, like a significant discount or a future credit, but all we received was a generic apology and a note that the room would be added to the repair list. They also mentioned we could have called for a room change (they had availability), but who wants to pack up in the middle of the night, move, and try to settle back in just to get a few hours of rest? We've stayed at the Hume Hotel several times and always had excellent, quiet, comfortable experiences there. We decided to try the Adventure Hotel this time for a change, but it was a big mistake. The location is central, but the noise issues made it impossible to recommend. If you're a light sleeper, I'd steer clear and stick with more reliable options like the Hume. Would not stay here again. 1/5 stars.

By the way, I had dinner at the hotel restaurant. It was pretty good. I had fish and chips. Crispy fresh fish and fries. 4/5 rating. Pretty darn good.
