This was a great place to stay in Alert Bay. Quaint and quirky, with excellent and friendly staff. Try the restaurant downstairs, the fish and chips and their curries were both excellent!
Beautiful location on the ocean facing Vancouver Island. Great photo opportunities. Great virw from room. Room was clean, bathroom was updated. Bed was not comfortable.
Restaurants downstairs was just "ok", but nice view.
Disappointed with the lack of friendliness by woman who checked us in.
If you can, stay at the Seinne Boat Inn down the road. Been there before and it was super.
This hotel is on a small island off of Vancouver island so you have to take a ferry. We were surprised to learn this after booking. Whoops! Alert Bay is very small and has limited amenities but Nimpkish is pretty great with great views and a nice restaurant with great food and views. The room was comfortable and tastefully appointed. We would stay again and hope others who are staying realize it’s a ferry ride to get there.
Think bed and breakfast, in a heritage house, with lovely seaside decor, and owners who are passionate about sharing their property and its history with visitors from all over the globe. A continental breakfast is offered in a common sunroom with unbeatable ocean views and comfy chairs, blankets and binoculars to focus in on otters, eagles and the occasional whale passing by. There is a restaurant on site for lunch and dinner, with indoor seating as well as a seaside deck for outdoor dining. Each suite has its own full bathroom, private patio area, and a mini fridge (but no microwave). There is a grocery store just down the road, as well as a couple of restaurants, a pub, and a liquor store all within walking distance.
Amazing location on the water with the added bonus of a restaurant on site. Varied and fresh items for a self-serve breakfast.
Walls are thin so bring ear plugs as not all guests are respectful.
The owner was great at providing information about the area and the ferry before arrival.
The lady who owns the property was the absolute sweetest! The property is very cute and quiet and the views are beautiful. I highly recommend this place and will be coming back!
Nimpkish Hotel is an excellent place to stay on Cormorant Island. We arrived very late at night due to a late last ferry but the owners and staff were extremely accommodating and helpful. The facility was clean and charming. Breakfast overlooked the beautiful harbour and offered lots of options. Highly recommend.
The Nimpkish hotel was delightful. It was quirky, spotlessly clean, great vegan curry and very helpful, friendly staff. The setting is amazing and we would highly recommend it
The Nimpkish hotel is charming and delightful. There is not a more beautiful spot. I stayed here for several nights as a woman traveling alone and could not have enjoyed it more. The owners and staff are delightful. I can't wait to return.
Thank you to Will, for upgrading us to an ocean view room, where we could sit on the deck and admire the stunning ocean view. The complementary breakfast was substantial, again with fantastic views. Dinner in the restaurant was convenient and delicious. We highly recommend the Nimkish Hotel
