We stayed for 1 night in Sep 07 as we had just missed the ferry to Vancouver, driving back from Tofino. The owners were welcoming, helpful and gave us directions to get some dinner - absolutely brilliant! The room was VERY clean compared to others we stayed in during our holiday. The bathtub was a bit old but clean. The... more

Expect to stay in an old and run down motel with a some what recent paint job. From missing light bulbs, to noise, to the old TV sitting on a piano bench; I would hardly rate this as an enjoyable place to rest at the end of your day. If you want to step back into the 50's this is... more

The Buccaneer Inn lived up to its reputation here on TripAdvisor. My wife and I spent three nights there during our September trip to Vancouver Island. Dave, the owner, was very welcoming and gave us some good information on the area and on the Tofino area for when we got there. Our room consisted of a front sitting area and... more

Great spot. Really appreciated the care, value, and cleanliness of the "inn". Marlene suggested great local restaurants. My wife and 9 year son thought the room was perfect and very cozy. Nice town & great hosts. more

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Nanaimo. The town was great, loved the peaceful laid back atmosphere and above all, the stay we had at the Buccaneer Inn. Even though we had to switch rooms due to scheduling conflicts, we liked both rooms. Very clean, quiet, and very comfortable beds. Looking forward to our next stay in... more

We booked the Buccaneer as a central location on the island when visiting relatives. We received a very warm welcome from the friendly hosts, who told us the best places to dine at and visit. We are only sorry that we didn't have time to see them all. The room was spotlessly clean and we would recommend the Buccaneer without... more

Our Lonely Planet BC book said the Bucanneer was spick and span and how right they were. The inside and outside of the motel are spotless. Not a thing out of place anywhere. Lonely Planet also said how friendly and helpful the owners are. Right again. They provided us with loads of tips on restaurants, sights, daytrips and even gave... more

The Buccaneer Inn has an excellent location which is right across the street from several resturants/pubs, a sea kayak rental business (Alberni Outpost), and a dive/snorkel charter (Ocean Explorers). We left our car parked for 2 days at the motel and then spent our days sea kayaking around Newcastle Island, swimming from Newcastle Island, and snorkeling with the "Snorkel with... more

I'm not sure where to begin. The part where we were greeted by name upon arrival, the fact we were given the keys to the room and that we walked downtown along the beautiful waterfront for dinner BEFORE registering, the georgous room, the comfortable bed, the great sleeper sofa; or was it the hospitality of the entire staff? We stayed... more
