The list is endless for hikes and beaches around Nanaimo. They have many great restaurants. We have not found a big supply of hotels in the downtown area that we love, but there are some average ones. Fun and relaxing town!

There are some seedy sections of Nanaimo.
There are some seedy sections of Nanaimo. Rough areas to avoid.
We did find a rejuvinated section of the city which was beautifil with cute shops and restaurants. Lights strung at night. We dined there at an absolutely lovely greek restaurant called Asteras. Anyone visiting Nanimo needs to go there! We had the feeling of being in a different country. Excellent food & service!

I live near Nanaimo. Why would one come to Nanaimo?
I live near Nanaimo. Why would one come to Nanaimo? We do for the shopping. Maybe to the inner harbour and walk the boardwalk, have lunch, go whale watching or take a scenic float plane ride. More likely Nanaimo is just a starting point to visiting elsewhere on the island. The island is mainly about the outdoors.

Nanaimo is a great city.
Nanaimo is a great city. Has incredible views of the bay and mountain range. Very friendly people. I happened upon a lovely kitchen store, Maison Cookware & Bakeware, that has an incredible selection of quality kitchenware. I spent some time talking to the owner, Julia House. She was a wealth of information on everything in her store. She said they will soon be opening a tableware store in the same complex. Definitely a stop for every cook!

Nanaimo was a little city that is spread far apart, but everything you need is 10mins away
The homelessness issue rears its head all around Nanaimo but not as aparant as Vancouver!
A lot of OLD buildings with a lot of CLOSED but there is a bunch of construction, so I am wondering if the city will soon rebuild?

Nanaimo is a cool little city.
Nanaimo is a cool little city. Depending on the goal of your trip renting a vehicle is recommended, since the city is spread out. As well there is much to see in surrounding areas. With the ocean, mountains and forest this community is surrounded by nature and beauty!
Exceptional Service. The reception staff went beyond our expectations to ensure our requests were met and were very pleasant people, as were all staff that we encountered in the hotel .
The view is absolutely amazing...fantastic location, best in Nanaimo.
The in-house restaurant opens early and has a varied menu to suite the needs of various diets.
I highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Nanaimo; you will be treated well and will appreciate the location etc.
Family owned gentle motel spotlessly clean inside and outside. I mean white floor & bathroom tile are CLEAN and WHITE to borders and edges. A bedroom with closed door, well equipped kitchenette, comfortable fold out sofa with good TV options. A brief trip back to a pleasant stay with beauty sunrise over Newcastle Island.
I've so had it with 'luxury' hotels all flash with splash of cleanliness the hotel equivalent of puppy mills.
My family stayed for 5 days and the staff was great, room was very clean and it was in a good location. Breakfast was also good. I would absolutely recommend this hotel!
