The romance room was definitely worth the money. Spent 2 stormy days enjoying the views and unwinding.

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.

This is a 100 year old hotel in the village of Alert Bay. Our room had a small balcony with a great view. The breakfast included bread, fruit and yogurt. The dining room downstairs had a limited menu. Don’t pay any attention to the one posted online. Prices, of course were higher , but the food was good.

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.

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

Loved this place! Heritage property. Owners on site. During a power outage the hotel was the only business on the island to have a generator. No lights upstairs but candles were provided. Generator ran the kitchen and the restaurant was buzzing. The owners made the adventure fun!!! I’d stay again and hope for a power outage!

David • Couple Trip

We absolutely loved our stay at the Nimpkish! We stayed in the Romantic room on the top floor and very much enjoyed our deck which had the most incredible sunset ocean view. The owners were the best! Very friendly and visible throughout our stay! Breakfast provided in the sunroom was excellent! Coffee, tea, OJ, hardboiled eggs, toast, yogurt, fresh fruit, etc. It was wonderful to eat in the morning in a town that has few restaurants. Just to note... this Romantic room does not have a shower but it does have a very large sunken tub with at handheld shower nozzle which was no problem for us. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return!

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.

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
