Qualicum, 3295 Island Highway West 🧭 Map
This is one of the best accommodations I've stayed at. Spacious and clean room, amazing private beach views, and friendly staff. I spent the morning walking on the beach and listened to the ocean wave in the backyard, where a couple of black rabbits leisurely hopped by. Strongly recommend.
A great place to relax and enjoy a walk on the beach that is right out your front door. Staff is amazing ... so friendly & helpful. No better way to enjoy the Salish Sea and all it has to offer.
I love this resort. This was our second stay here, and we will be back again. Right on the beach. Has its own private beach area. Full kitchen. Friendly staff. Great location. Rooms are large and very comfortable with all the amenities you need.
We love The Shorewater!❤️
A beautiful place to stay. This was our second time and we've already booked for next year. The views are spectacular. Watching the seals play, get visit from deer and delightful bunnies of various colours.
Glorious walk along the beach when the tide is out and so many delightful little spots to stop and get a bevie and a bite.
Staff at the Shorewater were exemplary, Janet...
We arrived as a family of 4.
Room had a full kitchen.
Unobstructed view of the Ocean.
Loft Queen size with a Murphy and sofa pull out bed.
Staff was super friendly and remembered our name.
We could stay there for a month.
Short drive to shopping.
Quick walk to a pub and restaurant across the road.
Stayed there before as a couple on the ground floor. Patio right out to the beach.
New management starting mid-marçh. Yay! Prior to this I would have given a 2 rating. I am hopeful that new management will be helpful, respondent and polite.

Ocean Crest Motel
Qualicum, 3292 Island Hwy W 🧭 Map
Rooms are fantastic, super awesome clean and well equipped. Service crew are amazing, friendly and very prompt. And location is great just minutes and seconds to the beach!! Superb !! I Absolutely recommended!!
Friendly staff. Affordable and accommodating. Clean rooms with hot showers and lot’s of cable channels to pick from.
They are the most friendly cheerful respectful hostesses ever!!! Spic and span spotless clean rooms! And very accommodating! Thank you Ocean Crest owners and staff!! We have stayed there many times and will keep coming back!!
I stayed at the Ocean Crest Motel during a work trip and it was one of the cleanest accommodations I have ever stayed: spotless. I was offered a room upgrade without asking for it and the room was very comfortable, spacious and complete with all the amenities a guest would need. Kitchenette suites are available. Free parking. Across the street from the ocean. And finally, incredibly friendly and considerate...
Great for an inexpensive basic accommodation with beach access across the road and three restaurants within a block. Easy parking. Short drive or walk to main beach area.
The motel is a quiet spot that is not expensive. The staff is polite and efficient. The decor may be a tad old school but our room was clean and comfortable. It is only 2 minutes of walking from the beach. We found a reasonably dark parking lot only 30 seconds of driving from the motel to enjoy a bit of casual stargazing.

A beautiful smaller hotel right on the ocean in Parksville! We had a room on the ocean, beautiful views and so light and bright with comfortable beds. Everything was clean and fresh. All the staff were friendly and helpful, especially Gregory at the front desk.
My only regret was that we only booked one night.
Perfect spot for our ladies' getaway. Really appreciated the big coffee mugs (hate paper cups and plastic is even worse.) And the real wine glasses too. It's the little details that make a big difference. Beds were very comfy. The Nespresso decaf coffee is the best I've ever had. The front desk staff were so friendly and nice. The restaurant for dinner was excellent. Overall, extremely good...
The staff were very friendly, We had an ocean view room that was amazing and loved waking up to the sound of the waves. The room was very clean and it was nice to see real coffee mugs and wine glasses instead of plastic. We had an excellent supper at their restaurant (scallop and prawn pasta and a short rib rigatoni. Both were very tasty and cooked perfectly.
This is a beautiful hotel and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Upon check-in Gregory noticed a couple errors that the booking agent made and rectified them right away. We ended up with a much cheaper rate and an oceanfront room at no extra charge. Gregory even called the room once we were settled to make sure that we had everything we needed! The room was beautiful, the views spectacular, if...
Staff are amazing! Jack and Gregory have been so great helping to sort out how to get some items I left behind. Very accommodating for our fur baby to feel at home with a treat and bags upon arrival. Our second day we came back to find a placemat and bowls in the room. Amazing view of the ocean. Clean bright white and artistic elements. Affordable pricing. Heated pool, gym and squash courts. Really...
As I entered for the first time I was struck by the open and airy feeling. I was heading in to have lunch with some family. We sat out on the patio area and the view of the beach was wonderful. The smell of the sea air added to the atmosphere. The waitress had to be asked a few times for some small service items like water refills etc. looked like they may have been a bit short staffed. The food was...

Coast Parksville Hotel
Parksville, 374 Island Highway West 🧭 Map
Easy access off main road. Safe &Family friendly. Pets allowed. No credit card needed only cash dep in lieu..(which we really appreciated). Close to main shopping centers and attractions. Staff very personable and accommodating to our requests. Nice rooms with kitchenette. Very comfortable and affordable. We stayed for three nights and would definitely return.
For the money it is hard to beat this location, the cleanliness of the place, but most of all the hospitality. The front desk manager took care of all our needs and requests, and did so with a smile. I will definitely stay here again if I am in the area. Also... pretty solid medium roast coffee in the am!
Hotel was good, clean and comfortable, coffee and tea supply very little in the room, towels we're not very adequate for adults. The continental breakfast was a bit of a disappointment, as there was no eggs, hot oatmeal or waffles or oranges, just bananas and apples. Sparse compared to better supplied hotels. Generally well kept or recently renovated with good thick carpet. Also there was good parking...
For the price, this place was actually pretty decent! Nice location with a short walk to the beach. Beds were decent. And even anbasic breakfast included. If you are looking for an affordable place, this place is great!
Ideal situated,close to the beach
Pleasant Hotel withcomfortable rooms
Breakfast does not win a prize
Very clean
The best service in parksville, quite and clean , very good breakfast near to ocean I strongly recommended, very friendly staff

No pool, vending machines inoperative jacuzzis in the room don't work. Restaurant closed on good Friday. Room was nice, TV in a weird spot. Quiet and friendly front desk. Their advertisement needs serious update.
This is a beautiful historic hotel with fine dining and an incredible atmosphere. The staff is excellent and friendly. I will be back as often as I can. I will recommend this hotel to everyone in the US looking for a great Vacation experience.
Beware: this place is totally HAUNTED but an incredible place to stay. The whiskey bar is super chill and the leather coach in there is sooo comfortable. I felt really connected to spirits here especially my Dad Warren Bradbury and ex who committed suicide. Great place to stay and I look forward to coming back for the scotch festival 😀
We switched from downtown hotels to The Grand recently, and wonder why we didn't do it sooner! Wonderful staff, awesome dog-friendly atmosphere, and great location with tons of parking. Also, I left my cosmetics bag behind on our most recent trip and when I called in a panic, they had retrieved it and packaged it for me to pick up. If you've forgotten something in a hotel before, you know chances are...
The reviews about the Grand are true; this is a hidden gem that you never considered or forget to consider. I cannot comment on the food since we only visited the lounge but the lounge and dinning area have character. The lounge is very comfortable and has an excellent selection of beverages. It is now at the top of my list of must try dining. I hope my future dining experience will be equally rewarding...
the lobby is absolutely beautiful ..spotlessly clean and everything was shiny and dust free. I would of liked to have been able to spend more time there

Bev & Sandy's Place B&B
Nanaimo, 2734 Camcrest Drive 🧭 Map
Bev & Sandy are the kind of people that make this world a better place! Their B&B is perfect! I love all the little extra detail and attention they provided and I was very grateful for everything! Thank you! Cheers!
Bev and Sandy are wonderful and they accommodated my family so we could all be together for Christmas. They rearranged furniture so there was room for the kids and the dog and made sure we had everything we needed. It has a private entrance, parking right in front for easy access and a lovely outdoor area. I recommend Bev & Sandy's Place!
My husband & I stayed at Bev & Sandy's B &B recently & have nothing but good things to say. The 10 days we spent here was incredibly enjoyable & relaxing.
Bev & Sandy themselves are a very nice couple, very much respectful of their guests' privacy, but very friendly & open at the same time. This alone was important to us.
They have all sorts of bits & bobs around the B&B which gives everything a...
If there is 4.6 rating I would have given it. Hosts are amazing. Gave us tons of useful local advice and brochures. Place very clean and functional. A nice back yard. Hosts allowed kids to use back yard zipline and trampoline.

I'm staying here as I'm posting this review,felt it was right to give credit where it was due. This place is a nice affordable hidden gem. Came here for work but got the relaxation I needed and will hopefully bring the wife back here next time. The complimentary breakfast was well thought out and appreciate it a lot, felt like my mom was looking after me. ☺️Thanks so much again!

Maple View Bed and Breakfast
Nanaimo, 3315 Rock City Road 🧭 Map
The location is easy to find and the owner was very friendly. Our only problem was the heat was turned off on our arrival and it took a long time to warm up our room.
Relative staying here, good food and warm private room. Owners not present during agreed check in time but otherwise no trouble at all. Three dogs upstairs
Beautiful and private bed and breakfast, the suite has its own entrance and locking door. Quiet wooded setting, wide choice of breakfast from continental to full English.

Gibralter Rock Ocean View B&B
Nanaimo, 118 Gibralter Rock 🧭 Map
The suite was spacious and really clean. The view was spectacular. It was also very quiet. We were happy with everything.
Great view and location. Very clean and quiet. Breakfast is $10 but well worth it. I payed for 2 nights, but could only stay 1. The hosts offered to refund the difference, but I just asked to give me a credit since I plan on coming back one day.
Solid 3 because of the view… otherwise the place is nothing special and a bit awkward for the layout.
Nothing spectacular about the hosts and this is NOT and a traditional B&B. There’s no breakfast.
It’s just average and again the B&B is somewhat of scammy for the lack of breakfast.
We spent one night in this beautiful homestay. It was one of the best stay i have experienced with my lovely family.
It doesn't look fancy or luxurious but the view is marvelous. I am so loved and so blessed.
Nice place with a beautiful view. A few things you have to maintain, you have to come back here within 10 pm and no noise after 10 pm and breakfast is not included. But, one thing that is granted is to get a beautiful view. This picture is from the window in which room we stay.
The B&B/home is situated at the very top of a mountain with an unobstructed view of the sea, mountains, ferries, birds, walkers at Pipers Lagoon and Neck Point parks, the cascading streets and homes in the neighborhood, and Sunshine Coast, Vancouver skyline, and Mount Baker in Washington across the water. Apparently even whales are spotted on occasion! The hosts are warm and friendly. The family lives...

Stephenson Point Seaside B & B
Nanaimo, 3318 Stephenson Point Road 🧭 Map
The roomy, beautifully decorated room and ensuite plus the spectacular view makes this B&B a treat fit for royalty!
I found the continental breakfast more than adequate and appreciated that the lovely proprietress catered to my need for gluten free.
Stayed at the Stephenson for my anniversary and was incredibly happy with how amazing my time there was. We arrived late to our check in time as my boyfriend had to work, however, Cher was incredibly welcoming and we immediately felt at home. The house is spacious, and the room we rented was quite lovely. The view was spectacular. Hands down my favourite part of this trip was watching the sun rise...
Cher is a wonderful, gracious host with an amazing B and B. The Eagle's Nest room has a luxurious set up with a large, cozy bed and a deep soaker tub in the bathroom. If you're a bath lover, you will be in heaven! The view from the room's balcony is breath taking. This is a wonderful weekend getaway!
Nice quiet location. The host is so lovely my girlfriend Susanne and i had such a good time. The view from the oceanview suite is absolutly stunning. We just sat a couple of hours in the room to watch the lake. Highly recommend this B&B.

Departure Bay Motel
Nanaimo, 2011 Estevan Road 🧭 Map
The host was super friendly, the room was a little dated, but so clean! It was a great location and quiet in the evening. Hands-down worth the money paid. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
This motel is a bit outdated, but clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Our room is at the back, wich is more quit than the front.
The ferry to Departure Bay is a few minutes away, wich is very nice. You can park your car in front of your room.
I would stay here again next time!
Considering it’s a small motel, the rooms are clean and great for a temporary stay, at least from my one week experience. The owners were very kind and accommodating. The place is old but at least it’s clean. I would go back there again for sure if I needed a place to stay in the area.
For a motel in Nanaimo bc, I'll giver 5 star, it's a motel what u expect, it's clean, owner is friendly, we checked in at 2.30 am due to late ferry and he welcomed us, definitely one of the cleaner motels on the island.....no complaints
I stayed here for a week while waiting for my rental suite to become available. It's older but suited me perfectly. The staff were super friendly too. It's hard to find anything negative to say when you pay $85 for a room with a kitchenette and included breakfast. Would highly recommend!
Rooms are very clean and spacious! The motel is only 5min to the ferry which was great for our 6am start! Staff were very friendly.. can recommend this place!

Cambie Hostel Nanaimo
Nanaimo, 63 Victoria Crescent 🧭 Map
This place used to be my stomping grounds so to say as I lived here all my life. The Cambie is ok for myself to sit and relax during the day hours. The nights usually seem geared for the younger generation and it should be. I stood in there one night a year ago in 2019 with the loudest music i ever heard in this place. It was vibrating and totally not my thing. Not sure what kind of music it was. Wild...
The rooms left me wishing more, so simple but whatever just slept one night there, also the music is bumpin hard (it was metal karaoke night) but good thing is that it finished at midnight on dot. The bar is cool tho and the bathrooms are trippy. Nice treatment by the staff too.
Looked in with my wife for a couple of beers during the afternoon having read reviews. It was dark and very much a 'dive' and she wasn't too impressed to start with. Great choice of beers, good music through the speakers, what's not to like? By the time we left she loved it.
This place was awesome! Huge, lots of things to do, a stage, and friendly bartenders. We went on Thursday evening and the girls behind the bar were awesome.
Cool art in the bathrooms, if that matters to you. TONS of different types of beer.
Might come to the island again just so we can go back!
We didn't feel well but wenn didn't feel unwell. It is an old Hostel and you can see that but you can arrange with it.
Attended a meeting in one of the conference rooms. I've stayed here before and it's lovely. Great rooms and great food in the restaurant.

Cannot find any nicer people !!! They treat poor people like human being. They give the same service if your poor or rich. I Never met so good people in my life. If there's a problem, they will fix it right away. They r the Best
A little Spartan and some odd resident behavior, but affordable and easy access to the highway. I got a last-minute reservation here and the office staff was very friendly. There are laundry services and detergent on-site; the machines take loonies.
