Coast Bastion Hotel

Coast Bastion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had the most wonderful time at this hotel. Everything was 10/10! They even brought me some Nanimo bars for myself and my husband as we stayed there during my birthday and our wedding anniversary week. (Driving all around Vancouver island) It was so thoughtful of the staff and they went above and beyond. It really excited me to be eating a Nanimo bar in Nanimo and it’s a memory I will NEVER forget! 😊 Thank you all so very much!!"

"Good place to stay when looking to take in the Nanaimo Riviera. Walk to any number of restaurants, shops, venues, etc. Across the street from the waterfront and walking trails. Older building, but nicely taken care of and bed was comfy. We had a Queen Courtyard. Bit cramped for a long stay, but fine for a couple nights. Recommend any of the King rooms for longer stays."
