Guest reviews for Dancing Bear Inn

Dana - 02/04/2026 17:02:36

"This was a beautiful spot that was very clean. The bunk beds are so comfy, the showers were very clean, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Plus the location was perfect - you just walk right out of the building and you're on the main drag. We couldn't get there our first night because the ferry was down, and the staff were very accommodating. 5/5 stars!"

"It was all great!"

"Everything was great! No faults. Stayed in an 8 room dorm, clean beds clean dorm and good vibes amongst travellers. Awesome kitchen facilities with fridge and gas-top. Bathrooms were great with plenty on each level. Super close to everything you want to see in the town of nelson. Cyndi manages the hostel, she is more than welcoming. Great place to stop in for a night or a week!"

"Location, parking, beds. The sleep was very good. Mattress and pillow super comfy. I checked the carbon dioxide level (I’m geek) - and ventilation was better, than in a tent (around 1000 ppm)! Taking in account I was hiding on a lower shelf behind towels. Stuff is awesome."

"The kitchen and overall the downstairs space felt kinda industrial. Not very cosy."

Ayukawa - 16/10/2025 02:51:08

"The communal kitchen is wonderful. As is the sitting room. People staying at a hostel have interesting stories and seem to be more authentic."

"The mattress was a bit thin. Very basic, but then again, this is a hostel."

"Good location, some parking spots in the alley behind the hostel"

"Few washrooms. Shower and toilet together, so had to wait sometimes."

Sorren - 21/08/2025 08:24:25

"Great location allowing you to walk through the city center. The co-ed dorm was booked full but still clean with friendly occupants. The large fully stocked kitchen allows you to cook and store food on your stay. The hostel has an easy layout with multiple common areas to unwind and connect with others."

"Aucun."

Guest reviews

"Great location close to the park great host and everything you need for your vacation"

Avis de Joseph Stanhope Cottages

"I love the location, I get the apartment style suite with my children and we are conveniently within a 3 minute walking distance from Walmart that has food, toys and activities. Playgrounds and parks are in walking distance. It feels safer with the new pin lock on the front door, where as before it didn't lock at all and was seemingly open to the public. In Suite washer and dryer, full kitchen with oven/fridge/dishwasher. Being able to smoke on my balcony while the children are playing. The staff basically know me by first name, I used to work front desk here 10 years ago and a few of the staff greet me as if no time has passed. It's a good vibe."

Avis de Tammy Nova Inn Edson

"Breakfast was simple but hot and adequate. The restaurant is superior with large servings and reasonable prices. The kitchenette was better than we expected. The only downside is several machines in the exercise room were down for repairs"

"It was very clean and all of the staff were very welcoming!"

"Great location! Beds & pillows were great! Room was clean and well appointed."

"Everything excellent. Special thanx for desk agent forgot her name bt she from Hong Kong. Who was 2nd April morning shift desk agent. She takecare us professionally. She did good job.again thanx to her."

"Sonia is a great host who even provided freshly laid eggs from her hen for our breakfast and contacted me immediately when she noticed I’d left an article of clothing behind, arranging to mail it to me in NY. We cannot say enough about the pleasures of our cycling holiday in Quebec, including our two days at Sonia’s Gite du Village!"

"This is a lovely property with a deck with wonderful views over the bay of Baie St Paul. Spacious and comfortable. Access to property very easy."
