This is a nice place to stay right in the centre of Minden. We arrived late and the pub was closed, but the instructions were clear and we found our way without any problem. Super clean and very comfy bed. No complaints whatsoever. We would stay there again.

The Dominion was the only place available last minute on a long weekend. There was a very good reason for this - it's atrocious.
The rooms are tiny, the walls are paper thin (you can hear guests talk in other rooms as though they were in yours), bathroom was filthy (tub had several areas of what looked like black mold), rooms are not refreshed for multi-night stays, etc. Totally not worth the money - it should be compared to a very low grade motel. We have no issues paying $250/night, but that price point comes with certain expectations that go beyond what's delivered here.
We've been home from this vacation for a week and still irritated by this part of our vacation. We were desperate due to a last minute change in plans and we paid for it.
Moral of the story: Book early, but book elsewhere.

Historic property with well kept rooms above a popular local restaurant. Located right in the heart of town within easy walking distance of shops and river. Check in is at the bar, and there may not be hotel staff after hours. Very clean and well located with ample parking.

We had booked a 9 night stay. I don’t expect someone to check our room everyday but the housekeeper came after two nights and then not again until night 9, by then our garbage was overflowing. She did put clean sheets on the bed at that time which made no sense since we were leaving in the morning. Our room needed sweeping which I kept trying to do with paper towel. If nobody is going to check in on things that often then an extra garbage bag left and maybe a broom to sweep up the sand would have been nice. The restaurant below the rooms had excellent food and awesome staff.

No carpet - just area rug in room was great! Comfortable bed. Air conditioning was not quite up to the task of the extreme heat that evening..

Our room was huge and had a great large area to sit and talk. We had a friend over to chat up. Loved it! The bed was very comfortable. The shower was soooo good in the morning. Got our moneys worth.

The on-site pub/restaurant is very convenient for guests. The menu is what you would typically expect for an old- world pub, but with 21st century offerings as well. The service is great, and the staff are welcoming and friendly.My room was very comfortable and clean. One thing to be aware of, no elevator, so be prepared to carry luggage up and down a flight of stairs. As this was not a hardship for me, I'm not complaining. Also, the hotel's handling of Covid health and safety protocols is good, and I had no concerns.All in all, a good value for the price.

It was just a one night stay on my way somewhere else. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was a little noisy at times being over the restaurant and bar. Also when people came up or down the stairs I could here them. It is an old building so I guess it was to be expected.

This hotel was perfect! It has a downtown location. The bar/restaurant in the main floor was great. We were within walking distance of a riverfront walkway and brewery.

We stayed for a week and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Nice to have a restaurant in the Hotel. In the kitchenette we were hoping to be able to use a stove top to make simple meals during the week but we only had a microwave which did not make they possible. Also one of the beds was very soft. Other than that I would recommend it.

The staff was very friendly but the room was tiny, the walls paper thin and the bed was terribly uncomfortable. For the price i was expecting a little more. Overall it wasnt a bad experience but I doubt Ill be booking there sgain next year.

Beautiful, historic hotel on main street Minden. Lovely and quiet. Fabulous, comfy bed.
The only cons would be the too-sheer bathroom curtain, slow-draining sink and insufficient warm water in the shower.
Love the hotel and the room. A delightful discovery!

The hotel is right downtown. it is an old building on the outside. Interior facilities has been brought up-to-date, nothing fancy but okay. Washroom can use a blind instead of a lace curtain. There is a pub restaurant downstairs. Food is okay. Afterhours downtown Minden is quiet. The river walk across the hotel is nice for a stroll. All in all, a little overprice with what one is getting.

Quaint place and a bit of a time warp. Hosts make an effort to make you feel at home.

My second stay at the Dominion Hotel for business....extremely clean, comfortable and well decorated rooms at this historic landmark. Conveniently located with everything at your doorstep; dining, cafe, gift shops, the Minden Boardwalk and River Walk. From my window I could see the river! Xtra deep soaker tub , parking behind by the perrrmisl sitting area they created by the river.

We had a one night stay at the hotel in April so in the town there is not much to see this time of year especially on an Easter weekend. The Dominion is the main feature there, the rooms are a good size and very clean. Everyone in the hotel are very friendly, would definitely come back again. Hotel bar food was great so was the local beer, try their fish and chips would recommend this place over and over.

This hotel is not ready for winter guests. There was no front desk, no phone in the room, and no one at the hotel at all in the morning for check out. No breakfast was available although there was a coffee maker in the room.When they were there, the staff was very friendly and helpful.
