HOSTEL DETAIL

About Us

We are a privately owned clean, funky hostel with lots of space to mingle with new people, or to curl up with a book in front of a fantastic view. We have a large community kitchen, lounge, T.V. room, smoke room, laundry and internet. All private and dorm rooms have full bathrooms, and most privates have cable T.V. We are above a bar that is loud Thurs-Sat. We cater to a 'younger' crowd, and are not suitable for families or seniors.

How to Find Us

We are in the first block of the lower side of Baker Street, but our entrance is on Falls St. We are directly across from an Esso gas station and above Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant and OneNineEight, a bar that operates on the weekend.

Things to Do around Us

Nelson is a large town that accommodates most sports in all seasons. The Kootenays are renowned for our incredible powder in the winter whether you like a lift up the hill on a chairlift, sled, Cat or Heli style. The summer offers rustic walks in 500 year old growths, or if you hike higher, the Kokanee Glaciers. With water, water everywhere, plenty of opportunies to swim, canoe, kayak, wake/kiteboard, tubing down the river, para and hang gliding etc. Excellent small aircraft tour companies have made their home in the Kootenays for a reason!
