What Guests Said About Nanaimo:

Nanaimo is a great city.
Nanaimo is a great city. Has incredible views of the bay and mountain range. Very friendly people. I happened upon a lovely kitchen store, Maison Cookware & Bakeware, that has an incredible selection of quality kitchenware. I spent some time talking to the owner, Julia House. She was a wealth of information on everything in her store. She said they will soon be opening a tableware store in the same complex. Definitely a stop for every cook!MarilynneCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0

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?BlakeCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0
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!NatashaCanada - 6.0Scored 6.0

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

- From $220.37 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 1,708 reviewsHave 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.David McKinnonCanada
- 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 194 reviewsWe had an amazing stay at Antheas place. Anthea was really nice and thougtful. She gave us good recommendations for our visit in Nanaimo. In the morning she made us a delicious breakfast with fresh eggs from her own chicken. Also her two little dogs and her cat are so cute. The room was really nice and clean. We had our own nice bathroom. The waterfront was only a 5 minute walk away. 10 out of 10 for this stay. We can definitely recommend a stay here.
ValerieGermany - From $151.66 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 858 reviewsGreat location, in a safer part of town. Very close to the ferry, pretty clean and great value for the money. Keycode entry makes checking in and out a breeze Recently renovated and it shows! Without knowing what's on the other side of your door(the roadway), you could think you're in a 4 star hotel! We will definitely choose this motel for our next stay in Nanaimo!
PaulCanada - From $220.37 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 1,708 reviewsHad such an amazing experience, the room where we were at was perfect spot, outstanding view to the lake, it is a great place to be with your family and also dog if you have. The staff were also really friendly! The breakfast was covid style, but lots of options to choose from, no complaints. For sure we will stay on the same hotel when going back to Nanaimo.DaniloCanada

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.
