Seine Boat Inn

The sea laps right underneath this lovely little place do you are soothed to sleep by the waves.|Glorious views over the water and a stunning display of colour from the many pots of flowering plants on the deck. |Rooms are very well designed and tasteful. No storage for clothes, but that didn’t bother us. |Alert Bay is an unusual community and really interesting to explore - you can do the whole island on foot. |Just make sure you know when the Orca restaurant is open and be prepared to get food from the village shop for your meals. |Really recommend as a wonderful and relaxing place to stay.

We live on Vancouver Island and wanted to stay relatively close to home for holidays this summer.|We love the north Island and area and this time decided to explore beautiful Alert Bay. ||Seine Boat Inn is beautiful and comfortable. We were fortunate enough to secure room 105 which is right over the water. Quiet and comfortable with amazing sunsets.||The staff are polite and kind ….||Actually the whole Island made are trip memorable! ||Thank you Alert Bay and Seine Boat Inn

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was beautifully designed, clean, and very comfortable. The highlight was definitely the incredible view, waking up to the ocean right outside our window was unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Simple, comfortable hotel with great views. What truly makes it special is Peter — incredibly helpful with sightseeing tips, arranging dinner reservations, and, most memorably, caring for our puppy while we went on a whale-watching tour. An exceptional host and a truly wonderful person.

Incredible stay. Book room 205 if you can for the most stunning views. Peter checked us in and was so friendly. All the other staff we saw were warm and welcoming. Great location a three minute walk from the ferry terminal.

One of the most amazing hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Located right beside the ferry, with a spectacular view of the ocean. Friendly staff, beautiful well-equipped rooms, a dreamy escape… looking forward to being back soon!

Very cozy and clean. Excellent ocean views.. It’s a romantic spot thats very walkable. The owner has turned this place into a special spot. I’ll definitely be going back.

The Seine Boat Inn provided a delightful two-night stay. Located within an easy walk of both the ferry dock and most of Alert Bay's amenities, this owner-run inn provides guests with the best West Coast experience. The rooms are cozy (small) but well laid out and comfortable with water/harbour views on both sides. The staff is cheerful and helpful, whether that's letting you know when the store is closing or providing an extra coffee filter for the room. If you want to spend some time unwinding in this historic village, I can't recommend them highly enough.

Lovely peaceful place. Sitting just outside the door to our room watching the water and listening to the sounds of the water are so relaxing. Very clean rooms with all sorts of lovely detail in the restored wood used in the rooms. Can't wait to go back again. Bed wonderful, bathroom roomy and with heat and great water pressure. Barbecue other deck good for fixing your own dinner.

I was fortunate to stay in a water-view room. It was lovely. I am looking forward to returning.

This is a great accommodation in Alert Bay. The Island itself is one of the hidden gems in British Columbia. Located right on the waterfront so your room will overlook the blue sea, and a 5-minute walk from the ferry station. This is also not too far away from the Cormorant Island's ecological park (where the lovely marshland is located). This has plenty of character. The wooden balcony surrounds almost the entire second floor. This is a perfect spot to read your book in the summer. This lovely "beach" house displays First Nations masks at their front desk which adds a lovely touch to their "welcome" area. The lady (perhaps the caretaker) was friendly right off the bat. We thought we lost our keys, and had called her to help us find it. She seemed happy to have helped us. Our room was extremely clean with a cozy and comfortable bed. I would absolutely recommend this to my family and friends.

What a lovely place to stay in alert bay. Our hostess Terry Lynn was fabulous. Took the time to show me around, and share a little bit about the town. All the rooms are great, beautifully furnished, wooden floors, and extremely clean. It is located pretty much in the centre of town, very close to the ferry, and all amenities. You can walk anywhere from here I would love to return someday, what a find!

I loved this place! Comfortable room with a great view and Colin Richie is the warmest of hosts. The hotel is central to most everything that is Alert Bay and covered in enough nostalgia that, after a week there, you may feel as if you were born on the island. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, thanks Colin...

This hotel is amazing! The rooms are literally right above the ocean where you can let the waves lull you to sleep. It is situated in the downtown core. The rooms are all very clean, new, unique, roomy & so comfortable that you won't want to get out of bed. Check in & check out was a breeze. I can't say enough about this hotel! Thank you Colin for making my stay the most comfortable & relaxing stay ever!
