Best Western Dorchester Hotel, hotel in Nanaimo

This downtown Nanaimo hotel overlooks the Inner Harbour and is across the street from the Seaplane Terminal. The hotel offers free WiFi and free parking.

Hayden, the gentleman who checked us in, was absolutely exceptional. I don't think we've ever had better customer service anyway. I had completely messed up our reservation (it was our anniversary, we go every year, and stayed there the night we got married). Not only was Hayden kind and understanding about me messing up the reservation, he gave us an upgrade. When I visit Nanaimo for business or leisure, I'll never stay anywhere else. 5 stars put of 5. Thank you, Hayden.

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!

Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo, hotel in Nanaimo

This harbour-view Nanaimo hotel, located on Vancouver Island, is about 5.5 kilometers from the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal and 10 kilometers from the Duke Point Ferry Terminal.

They let us drop our bags off earlier in the day and put them in storage which was very helpful and then delivered them to the room in the evening.

    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.

    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.

    Exactly what we were looking for. A nice, clean, comfortable room located near downtown and the harbor for a reasonable price with parking. A few semi-related tips. Neck Point Park is about 15-20 mins away with incredible views of the ocean and potential to spot marine life (we just missed a pod of orcas). Also the Save on Food in the Nanaimo suburb was the best grocery store we visited in the island/Vancouver/Calgary if you are cooking your own meals.

    the reception stayed open an extra 30 minutes because we were running late for check in which was really appreciated after a long drive in some heavy rain that put us behind. the room was spacious and I had the best nights sleep I had had yet in my 2 weeks of being in Canada, milk portions instead of dried milk was a treat. far better thanks so much

    Our arrival at 11:00 pm was easy and the desk clerk was helpful and welcoming. We had flown from Reykjavik to Vancouver, then travelled by skytrain, bus, ferry to Nanaimo and taxi to the hotel: a very long day! The room was comfortable and the hotel was quiet, providing much-needed rest after an exhausting journey.

    These rooms have been updated with care - not like a lot of old motels that slap on a coat of paint and call it a day. Everything was new and clean, great walk-in shower, fridge, comfy bed. Walking distance to downtown Nanaimo and the harbour. This was more than half the price of the chain hotels near by.

    The breakfast was the best I had in my 6 weeks travelling in Canada. The room is very quiet to the back garden with chicken. Anthea is a very friendly host, who tried to help me with everything. The rooms are very nicely decorated. Nanaimo is in a short walking distance.

    I loved my room so clean and very comfortable. It's was so nice to have a pet friendly place for my dog and they gave me extra blanket for my pup to sleep on. The staff were very friendly, I would recommend this place and the price is very affordable. Loved my stay.
