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

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.Christina

- From $117.81 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 509 reviewsWhat went well? The 4 day visit from start to finish far exceeded my expectations. Darlene the owner/hostess is a wonderful person. She cooked me incredible breakfasts every morning and even sat chatting with me for a couple of hours each morning. The breakfasts were incredible and far better than eating in a restaurant. The B&B was very comfortable and made me feel right a home. Definitely the place to stay in Nanaimo, BC!!!TimCanada
- From $202.18 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 291 reviewsWhen I drove up I was underwhelmed as the building looks a little old school from a distance. I was late checking in, but there were still a few parking spots close to the front door. When I walked in everything was fresh and new, staff were fantastic and the room I was in felt recently renovated. Carpet was new, bed was perfect, room was very clean. Best hotel sleep I've had in a very long time. So quiet in there.SeanCanada
- From $156.40 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 567 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

I very quickly grew confidence in staff happily altering my requests, with issues as my arrival time changing due to flight disruptions. All staff from front desk to housekeeping were so accommodating, friendly, and eager to assist. Best stay ever!WWendyCanada
- From $159.66 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 1,696 reviewsThe property was right by the lake, pet friendly. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was included, but “to go” due to current health restrictions. Rentals for kayaks, pedal boat and paddle board were reasonable. There were two grills available near the dock for barbecues which guests can use free of charge.
jgm56Canada - From $202.18 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 291 reviewsThe room has a kitchenet. It was spacious enough and the bed was comfortable. The location was far from Nanaimo downtown (25 mins drive approx) but walmart, Save On Foods etc. were on a 5 mins drive and Real Canadian Store was just across the street. Overall, a nice place to stay.
FahadUnited Arab Emirates - From $156.40 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 567 reviewsThe location is not great, too close to highway 1, fortunately there are not many cars on the road, otherwise it is not convenient to drive in and out of the hotel. Also, there was no breakfast, the day we went was Monday and many restaurants were not open.
