We were looking to get away for a few days... Nanaimo and the Coast Bastion were perfect. We spent 4 wonderful nights. The staff were wonderful, the food fantastic. more

Stayed here for one night on a business trip. This is probably the best standard hotel in Nanaimo according to reports. It is a good hotel with comfortable rooms and tiny balconies many with good views of the harbour.For me the highlight was the restaurant where they have a taster menu for tapas where you cold choose from a number... more

We stayed here on a lay over for our honeymoon as we traveled between Vancouver Island and the Mainland. We couldn't had been happier.

We stayed in a double room with a nice view of the harbor. The room was recently redecorated in clean, modern colors and fabrics. We had a small dog (a pug) and it was only a $10 additional fee for him. The staff at the hotel was very helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations. more

This Hotel was a dream come true for us and exactly what we needed to help wind down our vacation to Vancouver Island. The location is fabulous, definately the best in Nanaimo. Our room was on the 10th floor with a wonderful view of the Ocean. The juliet style balcony was a bit small but still provided a romantic spot... more

Great hotel on the waterfront.

Great service - had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and no complaints. Would stay... more
