Top Nanaimo Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean and tidy, the staff were very friendly and helpful. We appreciated the underground parking so we didn't have to park outside on the street. "

Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"Overall this hotel was a great experience. The breakfast was quite good, only a 20 minute drive from Duke point, and close to the city centre. The room, and bathroom were clean, the staff were friendly, and helpful. The only thing that went wrong was on the second night of our 2 night stay, the people in the room above us were quite noisy past midnight. Not the fault of the hotel though."

Inn On Long Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The facility is lovely! Check-in was a breeze, and our suite was stunning! A gorgeous lake view, so quiet and peaceful! The breakfast was delicious [although the dining space a bit small for the size of the hotel]. That said, the lovely lady stocking the breakfast area was great, she was on top of keeping everything stocked and clean and very helpful when situations arose. The rooms are well kept, clean and comfortable!! If a downside - the hallways are out of doors - I suspect that can get cold in the winter months, but it didn't bother us at all. We'll be back - it was a great stay and wonderful location!"
