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

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.SanjayKumarCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0

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

amandaUnited Kingdom - From $128.21 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 945 reviewsOur 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.colinCanada
- From $91.85 per night7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 968 reviewsHarbour Light Motel is just right for an overnight stay for people like me who need to take a ferry to the BC mainland. Its location is perfect for either of the Nanaimo ferries. The rooms are clean and quite comfortable. Harbour Light is just a very good place for an overnight stay.

This location was 2km from the hospital and about the same distance from the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal. The room was spacious and minimalistic. Again it was perfect for what we needed.ATupsCanada

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.
WibkeGermany - From $117.12 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 820 reviewsThe unit with spotless, new, well laid out. It was very secure with the codes for a front door and hotel room door. The shower was to die for. This hotel by far exceeded my expectations based on the inexpensive price. The reception staff was very pleasant.
Bella ByThe SeaCanada - From $108.70 per night6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 555 reviewsThe location is pretty convenient to the downtown area, and it's about C$20 cheaper than 2* hotels with private rooms.
