    I recently stayed at the Dancing Bear Inn in downtown Nelson for a quick visit with my best friend. The private room was quiet, comfortable, and warm, with extra pillows and a nice sink. The lobby/living room was cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a cup of coffee. The host was incredibly helpful with suggestions for places to eat and plan our day trips. The location was fantastic, right on the main street with excellent highway access. Couldn't recommend more this hotel.

    Excellent location with easy access to restaurants and bars in a relaxed town. Comfortable and posh living area, perfect for relaxation and reading. Well-equipped kitchen for guests to use.

    Twin rooms are on the small side, especially in the basement. The basement rooms can become quite warm.

    I recently stayed at Dancing Bear Inn for five nights while visiting the area. The location was amazing, with everything I needed within 500m and a shuttle right outside the door to Whitewater. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the kitchen was well-equipped and kept very clean. The lounge area upstairs was a comfortable space to relax and socialize, and there were great storage facilities for all my gear. it was a fantastic value and I will definitely be returning.

    Can recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at the Dancing Bear Inn for a week and it truly felt like a home away from home. The surprise patio was a wonderful addition, and the beds and bedding were clean and incredibly comfortable. The hostel also had a huge kitchen, which was perfect for saving money on eating out. The staff were sweet and helpful, and the hostel's location was within walking distance to almost everything I needed. I will definitely stay here again!

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at Dancing Bear Inn for a few nights and it was perfect for my travel needs. The room had such a cozy and homely feel with plants, picture frames, and thoughtful touches. The late check-in arrangement was a major plus, and upon arrival, the side lamp and fan were left on to provide a warm welcome. The kitchen was clean, modern, and well-equipped, while the bathrooms were always impeccably maintained. The location was ideal, within walking distance of everything, and the parking out front was convenient. a great facility with a relaxed hostel atmosphere and a touch of class.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    The location is perfect, right beside the Best Western at the foot of Baker St. Wonderful large kitchen with all the cooking supplies you need. Clean shared bathrooms with easy access. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The price was cheaper than quoted on the website. Fantastic central location, walked everywhere I needed to go.

    Felt like treated like royalty, nothing too much trouble.

    The value for money at Dancing Bear Inn was excellent, with a comfy room and great location. The staff treated me incredibly well and made me feel right at home.

    The food for breakfast could be improved with more variety and options.

    We had a great stay at this centrally located beach hostel. It was within walking distance of downtown and offered free parking. The rooms were warm and comfortable, providing a cozy atmosphere for relaxation. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing assistance with any inquiries. the hostel had a well-equipped kitchen in the basement, perfect for preparing meals and saving money.

    Some long-term guests seemed to dominate the social scene, possibly creating an exclusive atmosphere.

    I had an amazing stay at a cozy hostel in the heart of downtown! The value for money was great, with a clean room, comfortable bed, and free parking. The location on Baker Street was perfect, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I can't wait to book my next stay!

    The breakfast could be improved with a better selection of utensils.

    The hostel had one of the best private rooms I've stayed in with a clean and new interior. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to store and prepare food. The staff was friendly and accommodating, adding to the positive experience.

    There were a few minor drawbacks that affected the overall experience. the lack of drinking glasses and hooks in the room for towels or clothes was inconvenient.

    Great location in the heart of downtown. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    The kitchen was small and could be crowded when multiple groups were trying to cook at the same time. The water quality was questionable, tasted like bleach and made some of us feel sick.
