Coast Bastion Hotel

Downtown Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

Stayed at the Coast Bastion Hotel and it was lovely. Check in was easy, staff were friendly. Parking is available and cost $9. I asked for a few extra things later and they were provided no problem, Robes in the room which I love. The sliders instead of slippers were ok for me but didn’t fit my husband. The hairdryer was too small , took forever to dry my hair. Fabulous big towels, not skimpy ones. Amazing view of the harbour - great to see the sunset and sunrise. Do like the chilled...

10/10 Excellent

Stayed twice at Buccaneer Inn on road trip around Vancouver Island. Excellent self-catering facilities (microwave, full size stove top & oven, toaster, kettle, utensils, etc.) in clean and spacious 'apartment' with separate bedroom Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Ample parking and very convenient location for ferry terminal. Only real negative was slightly noisy at night from nearby roads. Would stay again.

The sofa bed is probably getting to a point where it could do with replacing as springs starting to go but this might just be the one in...
