Laura

A marina with boats docked, a cruise ship in the distance, and a view of the surrounding landscape.

Coast Bastion Hotel

Downtown Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

Stayed at the Coast Bastion Hotel and it was lovely. Check in was easy, staff were friendly. Parking is available and cost $9. I asked for a few extra things later and they were provided no problem, Robes in the room which I love. The sliders instead of slippers were ok for me but didn’t fit my husband. The hairdryer was too small , took forever to dry my hair. Fabulous big towels, not skimpy ones. Amazing view of the harbour - great to see the sunset and sunrise. Do like the chilled...

Best Western Northgate Inn

Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

This is a good property, staff really friendly and helpful, hotel is very clean. It is located on the outskirts of Nanaimo but is near all of the retail parks so plenty accessible. The only thing you could really call out about this is that the decor is a bit dated but this shouldn’t put you off. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with two doubles and a sofa bed. The sofa bed is probably getting to a point where it could do with replacing as springs starting to go but this might just be the one in...

Bayside Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort

Parksville

10/10 Excellent

This was the 3rd hotel we stopped at on our Canadian trip and was by far the best. From an easy check in to a great room, excellent service and very good food and drink at reasonable prices - compared to elsewhere in Canada, the whole experience was most enjoyable. They couldn't have made us feel more welcome. Brookie was first class as our waitress. The scenery across the bay was stunning. Meeting a bernese on the beach just topped it all off !! We will definitely be back.
