Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very clean, comfortable room with everything you need for a short stay in Nanaimo. Very friendly staff and great location close to the ferry. Lovely waterside walkway into the town.

    The hosts are incredibly kind and engaged that you will have a comfortable stay. You are even provided with fruits, chocolate, granola bars, water, coffee and tea. The place is in a very beautiful and safe area. You are able to walk towards Neck Point, which is the prettiest place I saw in Nainamo so far. There is a bus stop just in front of the property and also a nice pub, to eat out different daily meals.

    Cheap and cheerful hotel but sadly lacking. Aircon in room was like sharing with a jet engine. Breakfast (continental) was in price and really good.
