I spent a night in Nanaimo for work and since my stay was so short, I had no expectations with my accommodations. I must say, though, that I was pleasantly surprised by the Coast. It was well located, a three minute walk from the float plane terminal, and the rooms were spacious and modern. Check in/out was efficient, staff was... More

Nice room. Good service. No fridge in fidge space but you can ask for one. Decent food and bar. Hotel location is close to the harbour and shopping. Free internet. Good rates for business functions. We stay here when we have business in Nanaimo. Some noise from other rooms. Room front door does not keep the noise out at all.... More

We liked the room, and it had a really nice bathroom. Public areas quite classy too. They drop a point though for a few details: -Only one person on reception on arrival and she apparently had no-one she could call for backup when she got involved in a couple of tricky things to handle, so we had to wait and...

I had a meeting in the afternoon at the hotel, and I needed to stay overnight. Despite being very busy, I was accommodated with an early check-in. The staff were excellent, and the valet who handled my bags took the time to explain the air-conditioner system. I had lunch, dinner and breakfast the next day at the restaurant, Minnoz. As... More

Had a shiny new looking corner room overlooking the harbour. All the furniture and appointments in the room were high end and well above what you might expect for a regular room rate. Location is just about the best in Nanaimo: easy access to the harbour, the city's cultural district and plenty of restaurants. Staff was very responsive and waived... More

We arrived for a business conference and AGM May 23rd, 2013 to discover a gem of a hotel with great staff, a modern and thoughtful renovation and a commitment to sustainability. For the first time ever in my hotel travels, a hotel with bulk shampoo, conditioner and body products, made in Canada, cruelty free and guilt free! Great linens, towels... More

I am not sure exactly what I was expecting but whatever it was - I enjoyed staying at this hotel. The lobby is small and somewhat dated. The check in was quick and the staff very friendly. My room wasn't ready and I was promised a call on my mobile when it was.The front desk person said the call would... More

We stayed here one night. We had a suite in the 14th floor overlooking the harbor and it was beautiful. Very nicely apppointed and comfortable. The view was amazing. We loved it. Made me wish we were staying there longer than one night. Parking was a little far away but it was OK. The hotel is downtown, right across from... More

The Coast Bastion in Nanaimo is very conveniently located just across from the harbour and only a few minutes away from the ferry. The rooms have been nicely updated and the meeting facilities are quite good. A special shout-out to Chef Liam for providing excellent food to sustain us through two long days of meetings. One big downside is the... More
