Enjoyed my 2-night stay at Coast Bastion Hotel. The building's prime location made my trip so easy - lots of cafes nearby, less than 2-minute walk away from the pier, and under 10-minute walk to a grocery store. Would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Nanaimo.

This is probably the nicest hotels in nanaimo downtown. Great views and great rooms. Parking is a little sketchy . I had a taller car and had to be parked on the streets.
