Bright Downtown Studio with a VIEW!

This studio-style suite is popularly known for its bright colours, uniqueness, and artistic inspiration. The Kokanee Suite is our most desired suite. It has its own private entrance and deck that overlooks the picturesque West Arm of Kootenay Lake and Grohman Narrows.

With the open design of the kitchenette and bedroom, this quaint room is complimented by its skylights, retro appliances, and creative flooring.
The claw-footed bathtub is perfectly placed under a skylight, great for stargazing!

An excellent choice for a business trip or a romantic getaway! This suite comfortably sleeps 2-4 people, as the couch folds down into a futon.
For bigger groups, we highly recommend booking this suite alongside the Valhalla Suite and/or the Selkirk Room for extra elbow room and privacy.

Really happy with our stay

Had everything we needed and was a great stay. Close to downtown, many restaurants and the main road (3a) to explore outside Kootenay lake north of Nelson. New fridge. There is also a shower that I did not see in the photos. Very happy

Beautiful, funky unit.

Very well-appointed, and VERY convenient to downtown Nelson. Surprisingly quiet. Lovely heritage home. All the modern conveniences of home were in our unit. Loved the still-working retro refrigerator!

Above all the best!

I have been coming to Nelson on business for 25 years and none beat Mistiso's. Everything is amazingly decorated with funky/cool stylings and beautifully appointed. The heat is on when you arrive. You can live in this place. Mistiso's is only 2 minutes walk to everything Nelson. Maria is a doll who pays attention to every detail.

A wonderfully cozy retreat!

We have really enjoyed staying at Mistiso's in the past and this past March stayed in the Kokanee suite which was absolutely lovely, cozy and charming. Mistiso's has become our 'home away from home' when we go to Nelson. Excellent location and wonderful owners!

Everything we needed for three adults and two teens

We were planning on staying in two hotel rooms, but found Mistiso's place and it seemed a better fit for us -- more shared space, and helped make the trip affordable by cooking a few meals at home. Glad we did! We had a great time, lots of space in the Purcell suite for three adults, two teens, and all of our snow gear. Cooked big family meals, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Location is perfect for running out to town or out for groceries. We'll be back next year for sure.

A Great Place To Stay in Nelson

We feel so lucky to have found this wonderful place to stay for five nights. The location is ideal to walk to shops and restaurants. We loved how we were able to park right outside our door, as we had all our ski equipment. The place is super cute and looks exactly like the photos. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything one would need. We will definitely recommend Mistisos to anyone going to Nelson, and would love to stay there again ourselves!!
