Top Departure Bay Ferry Terminal Hotel Reviews

Travelodge by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is dated but it was nice and quiet, the staff were very friendly, and I liked having breakfast included. I'd stay here again"

Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo

4/10 Poor

"I have to start off by saying that the check in staff were fantastic. The room was run down, holes in walls, old tiles and carpet. The sink leaked on the floor and the view was a horrid garden rock/pool pump space and cement wall with broken buckets and garden pots. The beds would have been nice but one was wet and when we layed on it one of us was soaked. The next morning the urine appeared./so obviously it had been urinated in and possibly cleaned and left wet and made up.They did not have another family roomSo two of us gals had to share a bed. Management offered us a $40 refund. We were off to the hospital for surgery and no interest to argue. We won't rerun, shame as the desk staff were so nice!"

Coast Bastion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Best place to stay for exploring downtown Nanaimo. Very close to places you wanna try eating at. Also walking distance to old city quarter, harbourfront, and drop-off & pickup point if you’re taking the hullo. Room is very nice, well-serviced, and staff are very kind. Will definitely come back again."

Best Western Dorchester Hotel

8/10 Good

"Not sure if it was related to current renovations but the water pressure was very low, we had to flush the toilet twice quite often just to get it to clear. Would have appreciated a microwave in the room and the fridge was quite small. Otherwise, it is a great location, with good food options and a wonderful clothes shop attached."
