Top Nanaimo Museum Hotel Reviews

Coast Bastion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Expensive but good value. Great location. Only issue is parking. It is not underneath the building as stated on website. It is around the corner and down a hill to a "parkaid" run by the sity and open to all. The instructions as to placing one's car in any "blank spot" therein and not taking a ticket were not cleear. Then one has to drag one's wheelie up the hill and cross the road at traffic lights - I am 83 and not as flexible not mobile as I used to be. Good breakfast."

Travelodge by Wyndham Nanaimo

8/10 Good

"The staff were super friendly and helpful. They accommodated an early check in and late check out. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Breakfast had quite a few options for a continental breakfast, though the seating area is quite small. One evening when I returned my door was unlocked, presumably left open by the cleaning staff, but nothing was missing, so seems like a pretty safe spot."

Courtyard By Marriott Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"All of the above"

Harbour Light Motel

10/10 Excellent

"A charming, old school motel that anyone who has spent vacations going on road trips will appreciate for its charm and the memories of road trips past it conjures up. Comfy with all of the typical amenities we are used to, with that unique touch that is absent when staying at a corporate chain motel."

The Grand Hotel Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice setting in hotel lobby, very helpful and nice stuff."

Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, but too short. The rooms are like mini suites and the property is fresh and well maintained. The front desk staff were particularly helpful."

Buccaneer Inn

8/10 Good

"great stay for the price!"

Departure Bay Motel

8/10 Good

"Staff was helpful"

The Spot

10/10 Excellent

"Fynn the manager went above and beyond to help us get situated and upgrade our room for no extra cost. The property was nice - very modern and obviously recent. My only minor complaint is their style choice to focus on appearance over functionality, but some people like that so not a real issue. I would stay there again."
