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.ChelseaCanada - 10Scored 10

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!DavidCanada - 6.0Scored 6.0

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.CluckyCanada - 10Scored 10

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.

The ocean was the best part as there are many places to visit and the views are awesome. People were very friendly everywhere I went. The city is kept quite clean. Parks are nicely attended. Overall visit was very pleasant. Easy to get around having a vehicle as everything is very spread out. Piper's Cove and the harbor downtown were favorite.

- From $100.24 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 805 reviewsI liked that it felt more like an apartment than a hotel. I've been in hotels and hostels a lot lately so it was a welcome change. The parking lot was well lit and it was fairly close to stores and food options, as well as not very far from the Arts District and Ferry Terminal. The shower was very nice and quite large. Felt luxurious after hostel showers in Tofino.EmilyCanada
- From $132.15 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 558 reviewsI 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..WangCanada
- From $108.67 per night7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 951 reviewsThis is the third or fourth time I have stayed at Harbour Light. It is perfect for an overnight stay. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, there is both a desk and a table in each room, a coffee machine and a fridge. The motel is very convenient for both of the ferries between Nanaimo and the mainland Vancouver area.
Peter JCanada - From $142.49 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 449 reviewsMy room was spacious and very clean. Had everything I needed! I was close to the elevator however never heard it. I was pleased with the price and how close to town it was. I would highly recommend this hotel! I did not eat breakfast…but there was fresh coffee in the lobby!
Cynthia M GibsonCanada - 7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 940 reviewsLocation along the waterfront with our waterfront room view. We know the restaurants were not part of the hotel but we ate a both and enjoyed our meals. Proximity to these was a nice bonus. The roof top terrace was also an added bonus.
LindaCanada - 9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 23 reviewsIt really is on a country road with a small creek behind the large property. The host lives on the other half of the modest duplex. Downtown Nanaimo is a 15-20 minute drive but there is a supermarket and a couple of restaurants closer.
MaxCanada - From $181.11 per night7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 1,244 reviewsI liked the accessibility of the hotel which is exactly off the road and it wasn't hard to find at all. The room was huge and had everything we expected in a hotel. I liked how close the restaurant is and the food was great too.
