AnnArthur Guest House, hotel in Nanaimo

Situated in Nanaimo and only 1.7 km from Nanaimo Bastion, AnnArthur Guest House features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The property was clean, spacious with a small kitchen and living area and it was nice not to have to sit in your bedroom as we had been in hotels. There were lots of towels and plenty of hot water for the shower. The owners left lots of information and maps which helped us with planning meals and trips.

Tea and coffee provided as well as snacks for the night and morning. Towels, robes and bathroom necessities were all available and the bed was very comfortable. The host did exactly what he needed to do and then let us have our space, there isn’t much I would really change honestly. We spent one night there and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Water bottles and mini chocolates were also provided.

    The location of this motel is ideal. You're no more than 5 minutes from everything you need. A quick and easy drive from the ferry terminal, great beaches, the downtown core, easy access to shops, and restaurants. But, the best part of this stay was the staff. I have honestly never met friendlier and more welcoming staff at a hotel. They couldn't do enough for you and make sure our stay was to our needs.
