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.

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.

Great stay

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

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.

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.

We had a room overlooking the bay with a small balcony which was stunning at sunset. We arrived late due to our ferry and the staff were happy to cook a meal for our family. They were delightful and happy to share information on the island. FYI, a ferry ride is needed to get to Telegraph Cove which is an Expedia issue. Would highly recommend.

We had the top floor which had an amazing view, private balcony, spacious room, and clean. Large soaker tub was difficult for elderly or partially disabled people to get in and out of and only has a pull-out shower cable. Would stay at this location again but would prefer a room with a stand-up shower.

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!
