The hotel has clean, spacious rooms with spectacular views of Alert Bay, The service was first-rate and the owners really made us feel like family. We especially liked the curry and momos Pemba served in the restaurant, which was an unexpected treat! One of the best hotel experiences we've ever had.

We decided to stay on Cormorant Island while doing a loop trip from Kamloops around the Discovery Heritage trail to Prince Rupert - ferry to p Port Hardy - then down Vancouver Island and back home through Vancouver. Alert Bay is unique with a rich cultural history. We did a hike - the tall tree hike and it was short but beautiful...as well as a beach walk on rhe north side of the island. The Nimpkish Inn was a wonderful place to stay. It is an older place but has charm! Very clean with friendly owners.....we would definitely recommend.

The room was very clean, the bed incredibly comfortable, and we had a gorgeous view of the bay (room 6). The free breakfast options included delicious banana bread and sausage croissants. Pemba’s hospitality is outstanding and we really appreciated that we were able to check-in early. Thank-you so much, we will be back!

I don’t usually write reviews, but my stay at the Nimpkish warrants one. The building is old but that’s its charm; it’s not cutting edge, but everything works, everything is comfortable, and everything has character that you won’t find in a brand new building. I won’t go into all the details that made my stay there one of my best hotel experiences, I will just focus on the biggest one which is that the hosts there are quite literally the nicest people I’ve ever come across in a hotel. Within minutes of arriving, I can honestly say without exaggeration that it felt like I was staying with family. The hospitality really is that good, and they seem genuinely lovely people. Nothing was too much to ask, and anything I needed was provided immediately. The only downside of the Nimpkish is that it was so good that it means I will probably never get to try out any of the other accommodation in the area, because if I go back to Alert Bay I will go to the Nimpkish every single time.

We would highly recommend the Nimpkish Hotel! We were greeted warmly at check-in by hotel personnel who then walked to our vehicle to carry our luggage up to our room which had a spectacular view. Our room was very clean, nicely furnished and absolutely charming. We chose to have dinner at the hotel and our dinners were as great as any 5-Star restaurant. Perfectly cooked and a beautiful presentation!

I arrived after a very long day of traveling and upon arrival i met the kindest woman who is the inn keeper...incredibly warm and compassionate even though i arrived late..she even made me the most delicious shrimp curry after the restaurant was closed. Dinning room overlooksalert bay so excellent point to see wildlife while eating free breakfast. Beds were like clouds, room cozy and immaculate. A nice 15 minute walk from ferry. The owner went above and beyond to help me arrange transportation to final destination as well as just be an i credible conversationalist. I would always stay here again.

Breakfast was included and dinner, only offered to hotel guests was leaps and bounds above anything else in town! We highly recommend the Nimpkish Hotel to anyone travelling to Alert Bay!

Excellent hospitality and amazing location. Sitting on the deck watching the sun set is nothing short of spectacular. Listen for the minke whale blows as they can often pass by on the summer months. Kingfishers, Eagles, Ravens add to the magic of the hotel stay. Hospitality is second to none.

Charming historical hotel right over the water
Charming and very comfortable place right over the water. Room are spacious and comfortable for a long term stay. Large deck and various outside spaces and seating arrangements provide many options for working, writing, book reading, or simply soaking in the breathtaking scenery. Hosts are very welcoming and happy to share their knowledge about island and it’s history when asked. I would highly recommend this hotel to any visitors to the island - solo visitors, couples, or families. And I would certainly stay there on my next visit to Alert Bay.
