Gilles was great checking us in and showing us around. The history in this place is worth the stay alone. Dave your pictures for your friends and family and not social media. This is a word of mouth place that needs to be seen to believed. Can’t wait to get back

Historic hotel with lots of character, and the area is very scenic and beautiful, other than that the hotel is a dump.

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.

I liked that it is a historic old building and that it has an art gallery in it - lots of interesting art everywhere. 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.

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 is a historical building, filled with art work and curiosities. It is clean and comfortable. Because of its age, there is no elevator, so you'll need to be able to climb the stairs.

Ok, this place was SO fun. 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. We absolutely recommend it for inexpensive, fun accommodation, but be aware the common areas not up to todays hygiene standards.

It was cluttered with pictures and made me feel that if there was a fire I wouldn’t make it out alive, The beds were clean and the sheets. The bathroom was clean. Floors were sticky. Too much stuff everywhere.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
