The Bluebird Motel

8/10 Good

"Easy access to departure bay ferry and restaurants. Clean room. Renovated bathroom."

Departure Bay Motel

8/10 Good

"Close to Nanimo Ferry. Really comfy bed. Bedroom seperate from living room was nice as my husband and I rarely go to bed at the same time. Walking distance to Tim Hortons and Safe on Foods. Cons, not that clean, dog food under edge of fridge. Not very nice bathroom. Very dated furniture. Would not use stove did not look safe. In the morning we were facing North East so it was so bright in the morning as curtains not big enough to cover whole window. Ok for only 1 night."

Coast Bastion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our king bed room was large, nicely decorated with a small balcony and a view of the Harbour. Staff were friendly, polite and always ready to help if needed. Breakfast was fabulous with large amounts of delicious food. The wait staff were excellent. We found the bar very busy the one time we went there and had to wait quite a while to be served a drink… too many guests, not enough servers! Also, one of the elevators did not work, which made for some long wait times.. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will certainly return the next time we visit Nanamio."

Vancouver Island University Residences - Campus Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"The facility is good in every way and my experience is very favourable. The cleanliness, staff and the centre are in very good condition. If you are coming to the island, be sure to experience this place. I definitely recommend it."
