Great value for money. I will be back.

The location can’t be beat! Right on Baker street close to all the restaurants and shops. I love how you can book a whole dorm room to yourself.

All of the rooms have shared bathrooms.

Great Place

Kitchen had all the stuff you needed. I parked my car the whole time and walked everywhere. Even took the shuttle up to Whitewater.

The blinds in the room let the morning light in. It didn't bother me because I'm up that early.

Nice staff, close to everything. Not a “social” hostel.

Close to everything. Friendly staff. Cute little hostel vibes.

Not a social hostel and we were even there for NYE. Everyone doing their own thing. Could use some more social-common areas.

Great hostel. We will use again.

Excellent staff interaction at checkin. Bed linen was very clean and fresh. Art work on walls was great.

Cleaning under the beds could be better. Bathroom to room ratio is a bit low, some waiting around to use the bathroom.

Good

The mattress surprised expectations. It was very comfortable and I managed to get a good night's sleep. The kitchen is big and clean. They have an excellent organization to store food in the fridge with baskets and identification.

There were no parking spot available (All were full) on the back alley not even on the street, I alone spent almost an hour to find a place to park. The doors (front and back) are difficult to open and are a bit old and I think they need to be replaced. O Pillowcases were not smelling good. They look like they haven't been washed.

Superb

The Dancing Bear Hostel was very cool. I only stayed for a night, and I got in, but I wish I had had time to enjoy the common spaces, and would definitely stay here if I were here in Nelson again!

Loved it, great location, super friendly staff, will be back for sure.

Great location on baker street. Easy to fine, super friendly staff, love the no shoes rule make the place stay cleaner.

only down side was the bathroom sink needed a bit of a touch up, as there was hair over the sink throughout the day, but overall still one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed.

Great times, great vibes

Location was amazing, everything you want within 500m and a shuttle up to whitewater goes from outside the door. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The kitchen has a lot of utensils for cooking and was kept really clean and tidy. Upstairs the lounge area is so comfortable to hang out with other guests in, or even to chill alone. Great storage facilities for my gear and for drying out my wet snow stuff.

Cute, comfortable hostel with lovely staff

Great location, walking distance to shops and the water/park. The bed was super comfortable and warm. The room was clean too and had natural light from the window which was nice. The bathrooms & shower were clean too.

Management and staff deserve a raise - absolutely exceptional

The comfort, easy going nature, the people coming in and out, handiness of staying there when in Nelson, heat of the room, the manager Cindy was fantastic with everything and so was Kelly who worked there for anything I needed during my stay - made to feel very comfortable staying especially for the first time in a hostel. Would recommend to anyone to stay there and have done so since I left

Very few things I didn't like about it. Floors a little cold probably bring slippers - That's about it

I loved it, the place is great and accomodating, the kitchen and common areas were perfect

The location was great, helpfull staff and cleanliness, great bang for your buck and the room was spacious and very practical with a sink and mirror inside, the only thing we wish it had was heat controls, as it was quite cold at night

The room didn't have heat controls, it was quite cold at night, but the comforters were quite warm and cozy

Excellent hostel, but some people staying their need their wings clipped.

A superb hostel, but some of the people staying there for an extended time period had formed themselves into a political, social, cultural presence and into a very powerful "clique" within the guest facilities of the hostel and they started questioning me assertively as soon as I entered the dorms and the kitchen while pretending to be "friendly" as to whether I fit into their political, social, cultural, psychological and philosophical ideology; and if I did not, or if I could not, as I was extremely tired / stressed physically and mentally from many days of long driving, these people let me know they dis-approved of my presence in "their" hostel through obtuse "bad language" to my face or mocking rants as soon as I had left the area, in the case of the kitchen I was only there long enough to fill a water bottle, but I was assailed verbally as soon as I entered it, and had to think quick to defend myself from their "supposedly friendly" verbally-expressed ideological assaults. The town of Nelson is well-known as a magnet for the hard-core Left-Wing since the "Hippy" days of the late 1960's, but I was just there on a 12 hour stay to sleep, shower, and relax.
