Top Nanaimo Hotel Reviews

The Grand Hotel Nanaimo

The Grand Hotel Nanaimo

8/10 Good
"The room was spacious and comfortable but the heating system was very noisy and no foldout tables were provided with the room. The breakfast room was quit opulent but the coffee was seldom hot and the pastries were chewy/not fresh. The fresh fruit selection was wonderful. We really liked the underground parking but the automatic door opener never seemed to work when exiting."
