Proprietor was pleasant, helpful and welcoming. As it is such an old building there are a lot of stairs to walk up and carry belongings, no elevator. I did not mind that but would not recommend to anyone unable to manage stairs. ##### Carole Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### G Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Very interesting and historic old building with lots of old paintings anf artifacts in every room. The place was almost completely dead though on a midweek in July. Restaurant wasn't open and there were no other restaurants in this tiny town. The bar was closed when I attempted to enter at 8pm. The hotel room was basic but clean but I was disappointed by how quiet and empty it was. ##### G Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rikki May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The manager was super friendly and easy going.

The staff is just terrific, and the property is quirky and full of interesting art. (Some of it quite lovely!) The room was clean, but the rest of the hotel is sadly not clean enough to consider eating there.

Too much stuff everywhere. ##### Arlene Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandra Aug 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Interesting, Old and rustic. Love the art. If you're fussy about having a perfect hotel, this is not for you period but for us, we thought it was great. It's a very old hotel going up 2 dark old flights to stairs an older looking rooms, but the beds are clean.. It was actually amazing, the history and the art is very precious. The people are earthy and real And clever period Don't miss the amazing trails and the amazing beautiful river outside the hotel. No food around the town, so for breakfast, go to Salmo which is very close. Nelson..Fabulous ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Wayne Aug 24, 2023 Disliked: Amenities This is a 127 year old property that was never fancy and is now run down and cluttered. It was a working-man’s hotel from the Gold Rush/ railroad days. The property is run down but clean.Eclectic and the thousands of pieces of art, antiques and pure junk may be of interest to some. Some fast food available at the store next door. Friendly staff. Steep and long wooden stairway to access rooms at second floor. ##### Wayne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ken Jul 6, 2024 When we last saw this hotel 14 years ago, it was very well-kept with a nice restaurant serving delicious food & drinks, and unique rooms with interesting artwork abounding. We came back this time to find the restaurant no longer in operation. The rooms are still unique, but the towels are old and thread-bare. The room was clean, but the ‘breakfast room’ and TV rooms were very dirty. The outside areas of the hotel have garbage all around. We should have stayed 14 years ago. ##### Ken Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug Oct 13, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities This hotel is in a building that’s over 100 years old and it is not in the best condition. I like that, because most motels these days all look like they had the same father. Ymir isn’t even large enough to be called a Village. There’s the hotel, a small general store, next-door, and the bakery that hopes to re-open someday, and nothing more. The Ymir Hotel has an impressive life, funky and eccentric atmosphere. I found it intriguingly curious and an enjoyable reprieve from the cookie cutter motels that you can find everywhere. The innkeeper was a font of information and history. Among the other curious things about this in is that the office is open from 3 PM to 9 PM. He is outgoing, friendly, and enjoys spending time with the guests. I will definitely stay here again. ##### Doug Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Debbie Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Night in an art museum. This is a quaint old building. It’s like being in a museum. Art lovers will be entertained for hours. People are friendly and welcoming. The sheets were clean. The washcloth was stained. They should switch to dark colours. It may be the water. The room was dusty. This could have happened when the window was opened. Don’t expect fancy. It has a 70s laid-back vibe. We upgraded to private bathroom. That was Not clear on the booking site. Breakfast was fruit cups and pudding. Chill out and go with the flow. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5844FDB2A2E64E07A6526C2F474658AB75BCDC001721887934179.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E0C4EAC235DCA1BF21F98F8A09EF678939470EE71721887934664.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/51695694CB6B94DB80265B9DB0AAFB12A2026F321721887934640.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Debbie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce Oct 1, 2024 Unique and as friendly as owners and staff can be! ##### Bruce Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### richard Mar 2, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Unique and old piece of history.
