Guest Reviews
- Lindsay (6/5): We had a great weekend - Location and staff Not very sound proof
- Amanda (9/5): Would recommend to anyone looking to experience a remote beautiful BC experience. - A wonderful little spot in the centre of town, walkable from the ferry. We enjoyed the relaxed trusting feel of owners, staff and other guests. A nice communal kitchen and laundry facilities were excellent. Everything is very well cared for. You feel immersed in the community with quirky pieces of history and collectibles around the hotel, while still having your own private experience.
- Mark (10/5): -
- Linda (10/5): -
- Emily (9/5): Superb - Ocean view was amazing, easy to check in and all the staff was super helpful. Loved that there was a microwave and mini fridge in our room.
- Barton (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patrick (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maureen (7/5): Good -
- Sally (7/5): Good -
- Mckee (10/5): My solace in time of heavy grief. - I loved the room with all its coziness and outdoor deck with blankies. I so appreciated all the comfort from the owners as well. I was grieving and they took their personal time to acknowledge that and comfort and pray for me. I shall be forever grateful. Thx ever so much. Leaving
- Teresa (1/5): Miserable! - Breakfast? The place was so dirty all I wanted to do was leave! Clean the joint!
- Donna (7/5): Good -
- Lynn (8/5): Very good - The beds were okay, motion and squeaky when other person moves, if sharing a bed Kitchenette, ocean view, size of room, cleanliness
- Ben (7/5): Good -
- Mtncat (9/5): Superb - Had the most peaceful sleep in months Would be great to have some chairs to relax in beside the ocean Bathroom could have been nicer.
- Kelly (8/5): Very good -
- Lee (7/5): Pretty much the only place on Malcolm Island, other than maybe a few B&Bs - It was totally acceptable Nothing
- Jaime (8/5): Super sweet and friendly staff! Pet friendly! - Location was AMAZING! Beautiful view! Could bring our pet :) We had a 2 queen room. One of the beds was really sunk in the middle.
- Randall (9/5): Superb -
- Bride (9/5): Superb - Splendid location, ever-changing view of the sea and in the heart of Sointula. Hope the Whale Rub Pub opens again soon.
- Keith (9/5): Superb -
- Sallie (9/5): Very comfortable room with a view and the community kitchen was a bonus -
- Corey (10/5): We loved it and will definitely be back. - Right on the ocean, listened to waves crashing on the shore. The bar / restaurant was closed.
- Ellen (6/5): Pleasant -
- ron (8/5): - The on-water location with sunset views is fantastic. And staff were friendly and helpful. Would return in Another year just to chill out
- Walt (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ellie (8/5): - Beautiful 180 degree view of the straight, the ferry dock and beach. Close to the amazing museum, Coho Joe’s. The bakery and Co-op store. We took in the Bere Point trail and the lighthouse. We had a good time despite the somewhat rainy weather. Interesting place.
- Paul Van Buekenhout (10/5): Peace and serenity in a photographer's paradise! - Sointula is a photographer's paradise! My only regret is that we only stayed for one night. Our room had a water view that you could watch all day long. The beds were comfortable, and the staff were friendly and courteous. There is a kitchen that guests can use to prepare their own food. The water in the hotel is very soft and drinkable. We are hoping to return again, this time staying for a few days of rest and relaxation!
- Todd (10/5): - Pleasant staff and nice rooms, will visit again
- Dianne (10/5): - The room was clean, comfortable and had a lovely view of the ocean The manager at the hotel was very helpful. I would use this hotel again in the future
- Suma (10/5): - The oceanfront rooms were great with very nice view from the balcony. The room was clean and had everything listed on the website.
- SHARON (10/5): Great location, comfortable room - Hotel was right on the waterfront and near the Ferry Terminal so perfect if you needed to get an early ferry ride. Restaurant was overlooking the water. Rooms were comfortable.
- Misty (8/5): - This quirky little hotel was a lovely stop on our trip to Malcolm Island. It's an older property, but it had everything we needed at the end of a long day of exploring. It was evident that the owners are working hard on updates, upgrades and renovations. My personal favourite was the crocheted afghans on the chairs on the deck. Such a homey touch!
- Verified traveler (4/5): - I did not like the smelling when I got in of the building. The courtin of the washroom was dirty and does not smell good.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Beautiful view from the deck and wonderful to hear the sound of the waves at night.
- Adam (10/5): Very pleasant stay - Great stay. Room was brand new and clean. Bed very comfortable. Awesome patio. Only down points were hearing early ferry horns and a bathroom fan that we couldn't seem to turn off. Recommended.
- Paula (10/5): - We loved the personal attention by the staff and sitting on the balcony in front of the sea. We also appreciated the access to the kitchen (which we used) and the laundry (which we did not need).
- Roxsane (10/5): - All wonderful except the food. Butter chicken? maybe they should buy a Presidents Choice and thaw it when necessary. Bill didn't like his either. I think his was a salad, not sure. Coho Joes food was much better. and I forgot to say the fridge wasn't working .The bed, view, bathroom , etc were A1. also, the staff.
- Alison (8/5): - Friendly, personal, accommodating staff , room was clean but a little tired. We would stay again
- Jr (6/5): - I’m not sure who manages this hotel/restaurant but someone should tell them that the customers pay there salary.
- cynthia (8/5): north island retreat - Sointula was a lovely little town with very friendly people and beautiful shoreline to visit. We stayed in a room with oceanview beach front balcony, a perfect spot to watch sunset. Very friendly and resourceful hotel staff ready to help making your stay more comfortable and enjoyable. Due to the age of the building, sound proofing is not great, so bring a pair of ear plugs if you're sensitive to noise. Other than that, I really enjoyed my stay at Oceanfront Hotel :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice hotel right on the ocean. The 20 min ferry ride lands just a few houses down so it's easy access when coming and going off the island. There are stores open certain days/times but gas and grocery is open 7 days a week. The Island is full of nature and lots of little hiking trials. Very friendly perminant residents. Pet friendly. Hotel owners do have a big dog!! Note **Every room is located on the second floor, so if you have mobility issues it could be a problem**
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Our stay was good! Sointula is a quiet place but an interesting place!
- Moira (4/5): Disappointing - The hotel is very outdated. They claim to have free wifi but in fact, we couldn't get a connection for the 2 nights we were there. Perhaps the biggest disappointment was that they have no food available to purchase. When we looked prior to booking, it looked like they have a pub. Well, they do, but no food! Given the coop on Sointula is closed on a Sunday and Monday, choices were very limited. There is a bakery and a cafe close by, but their hours are limited also.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice and relaxed - Very friendly and accommodating staff. Hotel is basic, but the view is incredible.
