The hotel is lovely- room was beautiful, well kept, spacious, and definitely a lovely place to stay! Easy access to the pub with great food below- for lunch and dinner. Only concern was the "openness" of the upstairs access to the hotel-- anyone is able to walk in the front door and held up the stairs with access to the rooms.

As part of my boyfriend’s 27th birthday this year, I took him to Minden for ice racing. The stay at Dominion Hotel was an absolute gem! We love local inn’s and Dominion checked all of the boxes off. Being it was so cold the weekend we went, the room was so cozy, so warm, and in such a cute part of downtown. We had a blast and even enjoyed a lowkey dinner at the pub below. We loved it and have already planned a summer trip back for fun!

This is the second time we have stayed here. It is clean and quaint. The room suits my young family of 4. My only small complaint was that the hot water in the shower ran out in the morning. Otherwise this spot is perfect.

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.

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.

When we checked in we were given our room and when we checked our room we had ordered two beds in a room and only received one bed for four people. Little problem I thought would contact them at the desk and I was told. Basically tough luck. We're out of rooms. That's what you ordered. That's what you get at that price

Parking good. Easy check in. First morning i forgot the room code in room to get back in hotel before it opemed at 11 when we went out for breakfast, so i couldnt go back into our room until after 11. The second and last morning we got woken uo by the fire alarm going off . We didnt smell smoke but because it alarmed me we packed up and left. There was no fire as th3 alarm did shut off straight away so we wondered if someone was smoking i the other rooms . Floora are uneven so your either going uphil or downhil walking across floor. When the restaurant is open their exhaust fans are so loud and vibrate the whole floor giving the illusion of a swaying boat. Room was cold and bathroom icy cold . No heater in bathroom Not very comfortable sleeping in clothes and socks to stay warm I dont care for the blanketa on the beds. I paid a lot of money and the country quilt look doesnt feel very high quality

The exterior of the building does not look like a hotel at all but we were pleasantly surprised when we checked into our room. The room was spacious, although the position of the second bed was awkward. It was clean and has everything we wanted. Because it was an old building, the room was not level as we could see the uneven gap between the bathroom door and the floor. The bathroom door could not close properly as a result. Bed was comfortable, fridge worked well. Bathroom was spacious. Keurig coffee machine. Microwave and fridge.

Too many stairs to get to our room. Nowhere did we see anything that there was no elevator. I have two knee replacements and it was very difficult for me to climb 18 stairs. Walked in the front door and no direction of where to sign in. Went into restaurant to ask and we signed in at the bar!! While people were sitting there drinking!!!! Very old, floors are not leveled. Would not recommend.
