The Grand Hotel Nanaimo had a dated rooms but also an old cozy feel to the hotel. The shower pressure was fantastic although the shower curtain has a tendency to be your buddy. My room faced the out front which also gave me the opportunity to keep an eye on my rental car and I did have a balcony which was kind of nice, but was rarely used.

Enjoyed the decor and fell of the lobby, bar and dining room. Wood and brass added to the period look of the hotel. Beds very comfortable - had a good nights rest with no aches in the morning - always appreciated at age 74. LoL

The hotel is clean and quiet, beds are comfortable, we got our room upgraded which is a surprise. The elevator door has some issues to close, so we use stairs instead. Not suggest for families with kids, since no yard space to stay or play, and lobby has old displays/decorations everywhere.

Did not like having no info in the room,like options for eating or how to use the TV. I am hard of hearing and any strong accent makes it hard for me to understand what is being said to me. Check-in was therefore difficult. The hotel itself was like a walk in history. Very unique environment. Felt very safe.

Fire alarm went off around midnight. There was NO staff at all to direct the hotel guest. Hotel guest had to call the local fire department. Hotel guest were standing outside for at least 20 minutes without any information. In the end the fire fighter told me it was a faulty board that triggered the alarm. This Hotel was run down and outdated. The elevator door had a hard time closing. I had to hold the close button to get it to fully close. I would NOT recommend this Hotel.

A great hotel in a good location. The staff was very friendly and helpful and they had a great lounge to relax in after a busy day. We especially loved the eclectic style the place was decorated in. We will definitely be back.
