Top Old City Quarter Hotel Reviews

Coast Bastion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Always clean!"

Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, comfortable beds, and the staff was helpful (especially the lady in charge of the continental breakfast). For disappointing bits, of the three USB ports in the room (alarm clock and two different lamps) not one of them worked properly. Also, the tub had trouble draining the bottom couple of inches of water, which I had to chalk up to sketchy plumbing during the construction, since it didn’t matter if you ran water for a minute or 20 minutes, you still had a couple of inches of soapy water that didn’t want to go anywhere."

The Bluebird Motel

8/10 Good

"Affordable stay within minutes from the ferry. Room was spacious enough for a family of 6 and a pet, and it had the basics we needed. The fan/AC didn’t keep the room cool, but we were prepared for that based on previous reviews. Very strong odor in the room - like a stale older home, and our clothes definitely carried the smell after we left. Fans in the living room and bathroom were coated/caked with dust and we did find a few spiders and cobwebs. That all being said, we’d still stay here again for a night to save a little money on the island."
