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.

    Lots of parking available in Nanaimo downtown, ( dont park on yellow band or else you get ticket) and walk around harbor and see sea plane takes off and landing. lots of trails to explore. you can catch fish on the shore.

    Have stayed here for 3+ day stretches twice now. The lake access is amazing, the rooms are large, comfortable and well stocked. The breakfast was even better (more options) than last year (still covid breakfast). Pet friendly, BBQs if you feel like grilling and located within easy access of the freeway if you are heading north or south. The mall nearby (walking distance) has a grocery store. All sorts of lake fun rentals and reasonable laundry facility prices.

    When I drove up I was underwhelmed as the building looks a little old school from a distance. I was late checking in, but there were still a few parking spots close to the front door. When I walked in everything was fresh and new, staff were fantastic and the room I was in felt recently renovated. Carpet was new, bed was perfect, room was very clean. Best hotel sleep I've had in a very long time. So quiet in there.

    Sadly, no breakfast anymore. I was told that the on site restaurant would open at 7 AM, but in fact it was not ready to open until 8:30 AM Too late for my circumstances. It was a long we can, and the hotel was Understaffed. The staff were doing the best they could , but The service did not rise to the cost I was paying.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Spot Hotel, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff members who went above and beyond to make my stay memorable.

    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.

    I liked that they had such clean rooms and friendly staff. the breakfast nook has amazing food and is conveniently located at the hotel. The place itself is located perfectly near downtown Nanaimo and away enough from it to not be so busy.

    The location is pretty convenient to the downtown area, and it's about C$20 cheaper than 2* hotels with private rooms. The shared kitchen is nice for camaraderie but the stoves are in poor repair and the equipment (knives etc.) is crap.
