Welcoming staff but building was not clean and very crowded with furniture and “stuff” everywhere. Chair in the room had ripped fabric, used towel in our bathroom, dead flies in bathroom light fixture. Our bed seemed clean.

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.

Small town delight
The front desk guy was extra helpful and made my stay. An old hotel that does not lack for knick-knacks. If you need an elevator or TV keep looking. I will stay there again.

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.

Decided to stay here because of the history and thought it might be interesting, but found it to be merely and old hotel with worn out furniture. Many of the rooms were not in use and full of junk. Arrived and was told that my room did not have a private bath but would have to walk to one down the hall (Not mentioned when I made the reservation or on the Hotel.com web site). For an extra much inflated fee I could upgrade to a room with a private bath. Stay was definately not what I expected from Hotel.com site. I i was in the asrea again I would not plan on staying here.

The manager was super friendly and easy going. Our room was upgraded at reception and was perfect for us, even travelling with two dogs. The price was reasonable and the area is nice and quiet with access to the Trans Canada trail nearby to walk the dogs. The artwork is the coolest pet. A very unique place out of the way. I would stay there again and recommend to others.

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.

This is a HOSTEL, not a hotel. There is a shared washroom. The rooms are only big enough for a bed. Our room was supposed to be 140sf with a queen bed. We had a double bed in a room that was smaller than 10 x10. Staff were super nice but stay away from this place.
