I wouldn't recommend staying here to many people. If you're not planning on staying in your room for any period of time then it's fine beacause it is cheap. It felt like a jail, there was no ventilation and the atmosphere overall was a little depressing. The staff were nice to us and if you're looking for a place to... more

The hotel was easy to find, being located on one of the main streets in Nelson. Parking is nearly all metered, but there are plenty of spaces available. The hotel reception will happily top up your meter if you leave them quarters. Staff on reception were friendly and helpful, both check-in and check-out were problem-free. The rooms are small, but... more

Better to stay somewhere else- the place felt like a prison with the breeze block walls and cramped rooms. The staff were very rude and actually accused us of stealing a towel!!! They made us wait when we were leaving while they established that they had only given us two towels. We moved to the hostel which was cheaper, friendlier... more

Stayed here a couple of times now. Nice little hotel. Only drawback is no parking, but that seems to be a general drawback in downtown Nelson all around. Muffins, fruit and coffee for breakfast. Rooms quiet. more

We chose the Mountain Hound based on its location and the fact it was not a chain; we were not disapointed. As others have noted, it is very centrally located to all Nelson's attractions and the place is a bit unusual. All the walls are made of cinderblock and as others have noted, some of the rooms essentially have no... more

I stayed with my wife and daughter at the Hound on the last weekend of July 2007, and we had a restful and pleasant stay. As the previous reviewer said, the rooms were small and the view was non-existent (we looked out to two other windows and an air-conditioner). However, if you want a great view, just step outside and... more

My fiance and I visited Nelson for a week in the summer of 2006, staying at the MountainHound for the duration. I am in the hotel business myself and we live in a resort area in NM. As such we were looking for something special. We don't necessarily like spending a lot of money on rooms when we travel. We... more

My boyfriend and I recently stayed for two nights in a Single Standard room at the Mountain Hound Inn. Chosen for it's terrific value ($89 per night) and the fact that it offered air conditioned rooms, we were pleasantly surprised by the modern decor, the helpful and friendly staff and the super convenient location. Admittedly, we were a bit surprised... more
