The hotel

Kicking-off point for strolls along the seawall, days out in downtown Nanaimo, and jaunts to scenic shoreline spots from nearby Nanaimo Harbour, Coast Bastion Hotel is comfortably close to all the action. Its location by the harbour doesn’t just give you mesmerising ocean views, it also makes experiencing the ocean’s attractions effortless — whether you fancy swimming in Mallard Lake on Newcastle Island, sailing north to the waterfront parks of Piper’s Lagoon or Neck Point, or simply toasting your stay at Canada’s only registered floating pub, over on Protection Island. When you’re ready to rest, Coast Bastion Hotel welcomes you home with creature comforts like complimentary WiFi access, indulgences like the spa’s oxygen therapy, and a taste of British Columbia at Minnoz Restaurant & Lounge, where the menu often features West Coast favourites like wild BC salmon and Granville Island Honey Lager.

We had a nice two night stay at the Coast Bastion while in Nanaimo for a family wedding. The room was clean and recently updated. Although not mentioned on the hotel website, the room included a small fridge which was appreciated. We had a Juliette balcony with lovely views of the ocean and harbour. The hotel is centrally located, close to downtown restaurants, the Port Theatre and the Harbour Air seaplane terminal. We had breakfast in the lobby restaurant, Minnoz, which was tasty and reasonably priced. All staff, both hotel and restaurant, were friendly and helpful. The hotel is about a 10 minute drive from the Departure Bay BC Ferries terminal and is easy to locate as it is one of the few tall buildings in downtown Nanaimo. Parking is $9 CDN. per day in an attached parkade. We would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a place to stay in downtown Nanaimo. Read less

Great location to shops, resturants, Port Theater, and harbor front. Good parking. Very clean, Very confortable, staff very nice and helpfull. Great harbor view from room 708! Cost of $230 per night seems high. That is why i gave a 3 for value. Parking was $9 CA per day.

the staff were beyond helpful, the room was large, clean and well appointed. and had a great view of the harbour. the front end staff were quick and efficient, and people to help unload your luggage from the car. 2 elevators were speedy and there was minimal waiting.

Hotel and staff were great. Located nice and close to everything but the area is a little sketchy. Traveled with our pet and was offered supplies and treats for him if needed which was a nice touch. Room was clean and all was in working order.

The Coast Bastian in Nanaimo, BC is a lovely, clean, modern hotel in which to stay, and is in a fabulous location. It is next to quaint shops and restaurants, and is across the street from the beautiful boardwalk that runs along the water.
