Bella Coola Cumbrian Inn

Pleasant spot in the centre of town, close to both of Bella Coola's restaurants. Has a common room with a large-screen TV and an extensive collection of reading material and vinyl records. Friendly and helpful staff.

I had a 4 night stay booked and left after two nights. The room was very barebones, minimum standard. I was kind of creeped out in my room. Strange vibes in there. Bed was clean, but the rest of the furniture was dirty and in bad shape. The rest of the inn is also dirty, random furniture in the common areas, and there was a pile of laundry just sitting in front of what I presumed was a laundry room. I wouldn't return. The owner of the place seemed nice and I truly wish him the best. But I only saw him twice during my stay; when I checked in and the next day as I was coming back to the inn. I hope some of the feedback could inspire him to make changes.

As good as it gets this remote. After new owners took over the hotel is rapidly improving and the price is reasonable. Location is great and the new store is importanr locally. The managment has been assisting the local community with their housing crisis through the winter. Great people all around.

Be prepared for a sleepless night.|We took this hotel because it is easy and fast to drive to the ferry terminal. |But be prepared to get no sleep at all. |Very thin walls, you can even hear other snoring, a very loud fridge, hot rooms without airco and small beds even for a queensize. |The hotel is a very basic one without good comfort. The only plus is that is was clean. At the end we were not able to sleep in such room. On top the other room had not even a working toilet.

We stayed for two nights on our recent road trip and had a very enjoyable stay. We received a very warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble for our host during our stay. Our room was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Its central location means it is just a few minutes walk to the store and restaurants in Bella Coola. Would definitely recommend

The room was comfortable and fine. To be fair, it was off-season when I stayed there, but this is the most hands-off management and staffing I have ever seen at a hotel. Upon arrival the front desk was deserted, and I had to call to get someone to check me in. After that, I didn't see anyone there for the duration of my 2 night stay. Like I say, hands off. Some may be fine with this, others may not.

||I am all for giving praise when it is due, when people make an effort to run a business whether high end or low end as long as some thought and effort has been put in. It saddens me when I have to write a review like this for a business that is located in such a wonderful area.||I read with interest a review by someone else who was also unfortunate enough to be given the “luxury” room opposite the main hotel building/ reception. This turned out to be our room also. ||After a long drive to Bella Coola we were looking for a good bed, nothing fancy and a good basic room. Clean, light, air, that sort of thing. we were rewarded with a room that felt like a converted garage, stuffy, bad light, horrible small beds and a small window for ventilation of both bedrooms. I drafted this review in the middle of the night (2am) not being able to sleep due to the stuffiness of the room and having been woken by my daughter who said she was finding it difficult to breath. We were unable to open a window safely(bears are about) and I imagine the same would be said in winter. There was a sealed window in our “bedroom” that could not be opened so very poor ventilation and a health risk in my opinion. We resorted to opening our door and wafting some fresh air in from the corridor for 20 minutes or so. If I were the owner I’d consider litigation against the architect who designed this additional wing as they plainly had no idea what they were doing.||To say I was completely underwhelmed by the accommodation is generous. After seeing the accommodation I asked whether there was an alternative and was greeted with a “no, and all the other hotels in the area are fully booked” .....a well rehearsed responsive threat, just what you need when you are tired and in the middle of nowhere. At that point my patience ran out so I walked away.||Some other notable features:||No headboards on the beds - lovely like being a student again, uncomfortable small lumpy mattress.||No enough bedside tables ||Metal window blinds were a particularly interesting feature, noisy and totally ineffective at keeping out light . ||The attempt at a Japanese garden as you entered the building was interesting ||In the winter given the very poor ventilation of this space and single glazed windows I am 100% confident this room will have a condensation problem - if anything bigger than a gerbil was sleeping in it.|||||||

Plan to stay for two nights, but leave after one night. No hot water for shower, no window for ventilation, no heater, only two cloth hanger. The room is even not clean after the last customer, I can find the used soap and shampoo in the shower room. And you could clearly hear people in other room talking. So if you want clean and tidy and have a good rest, don’t stay there. Just try your best to avoid this place. It is absolutely the worst place ever.
