Coast Bastion Hotel, hotel in Nanaimo

Boasting rooms with ocean or city views, Coast Bastion Hotel in Nanaimo city centre is 2 minutes’ walk to shops and restaurants on Harbourfront Walkway. A restaurant is located on site.

The room had a great view. Good convenient location in the city. Restaurant staff were friendly even when they had to deal with the bull ants walking around our breakfast table. Housekeeping was very efficient and professional. Some of the front desk staff were friendly and helpful but they were in the minority and did not have a lot to work with.

Cranberry Arms Pub and Hotel, hotel in Nanaimo

Set in Nanaimo, within 48 km of Maple Bay and 8.1 km of Nanaimo Museum, Cranberry Arms Pub and Hotel offers accommodation with a bar and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive....

Nicely finished, very clean and fresh. Seems to have recently been refinished and was very tastefully done. Friendly staff, but very limited. If you’re looking for a great place to sleep and get a meal or a drink at a very reasonable rate, I’d definitely recommended it, but I would not suggest staying here if you looking for concierge services or other amenities. It was exactly what I was looking for, would have liked to have stayed longer and spent time at the pub!

    Nanaimo was a little city that is spread far apart, but everything you need is 10mins away The homelessness issue rears its head all around Nanaimo but not as aparant as Vancouver! A lot of OLD buildings with a lot of CLOSED but there is a bunch of construction, so I am wondering if the city will soon rebuild?

    Nanaimo is a cool little city.

    Nanaimo is a cool little city. Depending on the goal of your trip renting a vehicle is recommended, since the city is spread out. As well there is much to see in surrounding areas. With the ocean, mountains and forest this community is surrounded by nature and beauty!

    We had a great dinner at Firehouse Grill and fantastic coffee at Regards Coffee and the walk along the waterfront was nice but nothing super special, in all honesty it's kind of a dreary, quiet place that isn't very pretty. Maybe it has way more to offer than what meets the eye but I truly wouldn't care to stay there for more than a night passing through.

    There was a couple of RATS outside by the pool but they stayed away from people. The hot tub wasn’t working either. But the pool was GLORIOUS and the room was clean to perfection. It was a nice place to sleep in!

    I didn't see much of Nanaimo, just Petraglyph Park, before heading to Victoria. This side of Nanaimo was quiet, and I left very early. One great thing about South Nanaimo is its proximity to the Duke Point Ferry - a short drive. Also, the lack of nightlife meant my visit was quiet. I would recommend visiting Petraglyph Park. It's not easy to find it, you have to be driving on the northbound side, but it's beautiful. I've enjoyed other aspects of Nanaimo in the past, especially the Woodgrove area, and I've found people there very friendly.

    Hayden, the gentleman who checked us in, was absolutely exceptional. I don't think we've ever had better customer service anyway. I had completely messed up our reservation (it was our anniversary, we go every year, and stayed there the night we got married). Not only was Hayden kind and understanding about me messing up the reservation, he gave us an upgrade. When I visit Nanaimo for business or leisure, I'll never stay anywhere else. 5 stars put of 5. Thank you, Hayden.

    This place is amazing. A gem in the middle of the city. When you step into the lobby iit’s like stepping into a grand hotel of the past. It is elegant. Very friendly staff. Wonderful restaurant with lixurious ambience . There is also a bar at the facility, which is well known as the whiskey bar in in the area. The rooms are big and comfortable and extremely clean and the price was very reasonable.

    My room was very nice and exceptionally clean. I love the view. I also saw the chamber maid and her attitude was super friendly and welcoming. Her name was Pam. She told me if I needed anything please do not hesitate to ask. She had also left a nice message with her name. I have stayed at numerous hotels thru the years. She was one of the best I have met.

    I was a bit resistant to book a motel at first due to the impression I had from TV shows. But after staying at this hotel, I found it exceeded my expectations. I could feel that the owner must be very detail-oriented and clean. I really enjoyed the stay at Buccaneer Inn. I will come back if I had the chance to come back Nanaimo..

    This is a classic style motel. Its beauty is it’s a short walk to the Nanaimo ferry to Vancouver and it’s clean. I found the bed very comfortable, as good as more expensive hotels. Staff is excellent, very friendly. I parked my Motorcycle out front of my room and it was safe all night. Just like the picture shows.

    The property was right by the lake, pet friendly. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was included, but “to go” due to current health restrictions. Rentals for kayaks, pedal boat and paddle board were reasonable. There were two grills available near the dock for barbecues which guests can use free of charge.

    The room has a kitchenet. It was spacious enough and the bed was comfortable. The location was far from Nanaimo downtown (25 mins drive approx) but walmart, Save On Foods etc. were on a 5 mins drive and Real Canadian Store was just across the street. Overall, a nice place to stay.

    The unit with spotless, new, well laid out. It was very secure with the codes for a front door and hotel room door. The shower was to die for. This hotel by far exceeded my expectations based on the inexpensive price. The reception staff was very pleasant.

    I enjoyed the water views and being able to step out onto the balcony, as well as the chaise lounge from which I could put my legs up and look out onto the water. Also, a very green (eco) hotel!
