Top Nanaimo Hotel Reviews

Courtyard By Marriott Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"High quality, modern hotel. Engaging and friendly staff. Great pool and hot tub. Definitely one of the best places to stay in local area. Will definitely be back again."

The Grand Hotel Nanaimo

8/10 Good

"The morning breakfast staff need a review in customer service. They embarrassed a family who made the error of sitting at a reserved table at 0945hrs. All the designated breakfast tables were occupied at the time. They told them to move as though this was a huge problem. The next paying customer were due at 1100hrs. They didn’t need to make a big deal about it. The staff are taking their job far too seriously- they should be smiling and cheerful with customers and make the morning feel special."
