The good: The staff are excellent. I called a few times to inquire about rates, location etc, and was always made to feel like my call was important to them. At check in, the clerk was quick and went out of his way to make sure I got some extra blankets and towels for our room. It's clean. There's flat... More

This was not the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in, but it was good enough. We were out all day hiking and enjoying the beautiful weather. The room was clean, except for the carpet. Out dated, but for that price who cares! The desk was very helpful, and there was no longer a smoking area. The renovations were going on... More

I stayed at this hotel during a motorcycle gathering. The prices for the rooms vary from very cheap for the ones with no showers to reasonable prices for the ones with a full bathroom. The hotel is older and a bit run down but alright.

Older hotel, based on the stone markings I saw, looks like the building was constructed in 1932. However, old does not = bad. There is Limited parking behind the hotel. Bar patrons seem to get their cigarette fixes right below the guest rooms, making it a bit rowdy right about the time you are ready to sleep for the night.... More

Thank you for your review of The New Grand. You are correct in the age of our hotel, with the original construction finalized in 1913. We are pleased to announce to you and the rest of the world, that we are planning a full scale renovation of the entire hotel beginning April 1, 2013. We are very excited about this... More

The hotel advertised renovations, but still felt a little old. In the middle of winter, felt a slight draft, though not bad. Felt like the place was still not totally up to date. The bar downstairs had a lively feel to it, and was really enjoyable. So was the lounge space.

Stayed here 3 nights, September 2012. The welcome on arrival was genuine. We didn't have a reservation, but we were shown a room which suited us fine. To be honest, yes, the hotel is old, but for the price is exceptional value. Terrific location, friendly and helpful staff, dinner in Louis's restaurant was exceptional in quality and value? Would not... More

I only stayed one night but it was the best sleep I had out of all the hotels that week. Comfy bed and thick pillows (not those cheap skinny ones some hotels have). Really basic room it was very clean. Downside - no elevator.

Stayed here for a couple of nights in early September, while on a vacation to Nelson. Liked this hotel because it was in a central location to see all that the town has to offer. The overall value was excellent. Clean rooms, comfy beds and has a lot of character as does so much of Nelson! I found the front... More

We stayed at the New Grand for 1 night. The Room was quite big, with cable tv and a nice bathroom. Beds were good and clean. During the night it was loud outside, because of the pub located close to the hotel. The hotel was worth the price we payed.

We booked one night August 2012 as we were driving through Nelson. My husband saw that the ratings were decent but what a let down. It seems to be on a rowdy street and when we pulled up there seemed to be a lot of partiers and questionable people. Checked in and had to carry our luggage up a steep... More

I am sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us at The New Grand Hotel. As we are located in downtown Nelson, and with the tourism season in full bloom in August, we can not control the noises from the outside of the hotel. From within however, we do have staff on 24 hours a day to prevent... More
