This wasn't our first trip to Nanaimo so we did know our way...
This wasn't our first trip to Nanaimo so we did know our way around most of the city and beyond, but it is always a great place to be. We love the well planned Harbour walkways, many events in the parks, the beach trails. Our favourite beach walks are Piper's Lagoon and Neck Point. There are many good music venues, restaurants, scenic drives and walks. We easily found side roads that were basically parallel to the highway to get to and from downtown. Nanaimo has has a LOT to offer any visitor of any age! Can't wait to return!Guest review byTerry & PatCanada - 10.0
The Inner Harbor was beautiful.
The Inner Harbor was beautiful. The Snowbirds did a show when I was there. The harbor was lively and fun. The hiking in the area was awesome. Nanaimo is easy to navigate with a car. Great halfway stop between Victoria and Tofino.Guest review byMary LynnUnited States - 6.0
Nice town. Good things to do in the area.
Nice town. Good things to do in the area. Cowichen River float, Parksville mini golf, cycling the adjacent islands. Druggies and street people/beggars. Sirens all night. Car alarms. Shouting at night. Traffic even during the week at off peak hours.Guest review byH - 10.0
I l lived in Nanaimo for 20 years and was thier for business...
I l lived in Nanaimo for 20 years and was thier for business reasons. The motel had no facilities to make coffee or tea or any drawers to put clothes in. Management even locked me out of my room even though it was pre payed. Management needs to have training in work properly for customers.Guest review byFrancis - 10.0
Jaw-droppingly beautiful Newcastle Island Park right there!
Jaw-droppingly beautiful Newcastle Island Park right there! Excellent innovative fine dining/cocktails and wine at Mélange. Amazing breakfast at Gabrielle’s Cafe. Fun coffee, drinks and eats at The Vault, which has a rather mesmerizing ambience. We stayed at the Dorchester Best Western. It is worth it to get a harbour facing room. The islands and water there are spectacular to wake up to. Be sure to spend time exploring along Chapel and Church streets area - the old part of town. It is small but really interesting. Nanaimo is also an excellent hub for day trips.Guest review byJulieCanada - 10.0
Nanaimo is the little city that could!
Nanaimo is the little city that could! adorable city centre (small) and kind people. But best of all, it is a great lift-off point to see the incredible wonders of Vancouver Island if you don't want to camp... hikes, waterfalls, watersports... all at your finger tipsGuest review byRebeccaCanada

- From £105.78 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.1Very good - What previous guests thought, 975 reviewsClose to everything in downtown, harbour front and also walking distance to a lot of things, right next to the sea planes too. Wonderful stay, throughout the stay hotel workers kept in contact with me through messaging and was able to schedule house keeping hours through text, really convenient and easy to access too. Once I left they also called to tell me that I left something that I didn’t need anymore, they really go above and beyond. Aryan and Aden were really helpful.Guest review byMelanieCanada
- From £149.46 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 919 reviewsRoom was clean and we had an ocean view. The location of hotel was very close to everything and we didn’t have to use the car, we put the car in the free parking and walked around and enjoyed it. For sure if we have a plan to go to Nanaimo we go the same hotel.Guest review byNIMACanada
