The Coast Bastion in Nanaimo is very conveniently located just across from the harbour and only a few minutes away from the ferry. The rooms have been nicely updated and the meeting facilities are quite good. A special shout-out to Chef Liam for providing excellent food to sustain us through two long days of meetings. One big downside is the... More

This was my first trip to Naniamo, on my own, and coming from a very small Island Community my experiences of city driving and city parking are just about nil. I checked into the hotel and then attempted to park my van in the Hotel Parking arcade. Much to my dismay I found myself stuck in a parking spot, blocking... More

Hotel location in the historic downtown area close to the harbour, restaurants and civic amenities makes it a great place for a tourist visit. The room we had on the third floor was a decent size and appeared to be recently refurbished. Comfortable beds and good linens. The room was one with an adjoining door (why do hotels do this?)...

The view from our room of the Harbour and ocean and mountains in the back ground is nothing but spectacular. The room was very clean and wel layed... More

I had the perfect view and the bedding was fabulous. Slept like a baby and I like higher quality bedding. The staff was very helpful and the attached restaurant was wonderful. I was only there for a night and had to go for business in the City and wished the whole trip was there.

Love the big bottles of shampoo, body wash, conditioner. The towels were nice and soft. The hotel was full, but the staff remained peasant and approachable. Over... More

Really enjoyed our stay here. The lounge and restaurant are excellent! The beds are comfy! A little loud when the airplanes take off in the morning when you want to sleep in! Overall, great stay! Good location with easy access to parking. Will stay here again.

We enjoyed a corner room with ocean views...was really a great view and the unit was very spacious. The chaise lounge was nice to relax on. The complimentary welcome plate was a nice touch. The only issue is parking which isn't the easiest to access as other local hotel parking. Nice lounge and restaurant though...always enjoy the food and drinks.

I stayed at this property and I found the stay to be pretty enjoyable. There were some issues, but in the end, the General Manager listened to my concerns, and I found the problems to be mostly resolved. The room I enjoyed the space in room 1102, especially the sculpture. The balcony and the view was wonderful. What I didn't... More
