Rose, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfort stay and reasonable price.

Good location, central to a lot of Nanaimo. A little away from the noise of the highway, but close enough for easy access. Nanaimo North Mall very close with lots of restaurants too. Nice little balcony to enjoy a coffee on in the morning.

Best hotel for the price in Namaimo

This is a very nice hotel in a convenient location. We like to e-bike and the hotel is a half kilometer from two bike trails that parallel highways 19 and 19A. We biked the N&L Trail, Nanaimo Parkway Trail and a few connector trails, about 45 km. There are plenty of places to eat within a lm of the hotel. The staff even provided a safe place to store our bikes overnight. It was so nice and convenient we stayed 3 nights. It’s also close to the ferry terminal for the ferry to Horseshoe Bay.

8/10 Very good

We very much enjoyed our annual stay at The Grand. Excellent, friendly service. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious as always although the Mother’s Day brunch could have been organized a bit better. We were surprised not to have a balcony in our Deluxe room this time. We’ll have to be sure to request it next year.

Large rooms with gas fireplace. Clean with good beds. Air conditioner is limited to how low the cooling setting is allowed, which was not as low as we would like for sleeping! If you like a warm room, this is a good spot for you!

Older property but in pretty good shape for the age. Staff friendly and efficient.
Kenneth, 1-night trip

Well maintained, pleasant staff, great food, but a little older building. Good place to stay
Maurice, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is quaint and well presented. The decor when you walk into the lobby is very interesting and welcoming. The room we were in was very quiet and clean. The decor is starting to wear is the only comment I have. I would recommend this Hotel in Nanaimo.

Great Service

Had a unfortunate sick night and tge staff came to the rescue quickly. Thank you for the help!
Brook, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Grand Hotel is a beautiful and clean building with friendly staff that I would stay at again. However I would have preferred if the room stocked tea as well as coffee, for non-coffee drinkers. Also, I would not recommend visiting this hotel unless you are driving as the walkability is really poor.
Beatrice, 1-night trip

Wonderful

So nice! Very clean and even our dogs seemed to relax in a new and unexpected environment. It had a nice little kitchenette and a very spacious king bedroom. Staff were always happy to accommodate our needs. Not our first week long stay. Wonderful!

The Hotel in general is very clean, Friendly. efficient check-in and check-out. And Honest! The rooms were a bit on the warm side but I will figure out how to lower the temperature when I return next week. Thank you for your Hospitality
