We had a late night stay at the Buccaneer Inn before leaving for Victoria in the morning and so happy we booked it. The room was well set up, parking and reception easily accessible to the room and the beds were extremely comfortable. Everyone was well rested after a long day and check out was simple. A lovely choice if you're staying in Nanaimo!

Older but very clean. Friendly staff. Beds were a bit soft so if you have back issues keep in mind. View of the marina but in a bit of industrial area. Good value!

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Within the first 2 hours of my arrival the first time using the washroom facility flooded and they did not move me rooms. They also charged my card twice, one for the room charge and one for the damage deposit. To when I asked when I would receive my damage deposit back they did not provide me with an answer, they also stated they would give me a refund and have yet to issue that as well. I have reached out 3 times trying to get an answer or my money issued back to me and zero response from anyone. Terrible management, would not rec to anyone!!!!

property runs right along a main road , so early morning truck traffic to wake up to. no elevator, as all units open outdooor to stairs and walkways for each level, so carrying all belongings up those stair levels. room was clean, and did the job for the night. there was a convention in town so lodging choices were diminished and prices were running higher due to demand.

Room 105 suited me and my 2 friends perfectly and the price for 3 nights was great. The only snag was the TV was not working properly. By the second afternoon there was a work-around so we could watch the news, but still not able to change to regular channels despite all the wonderful help from the gentlemen in the office. Other than that the stay was great and having a full, well equippped kitchen was a real treat.

It was excellent to have a kitchen, a separate bedroom, and a great mattress for goid sleeping. Very nice towels and amenities in bathroom. Enjoyed the view of a nearby marina and island. Very friendly staff. Sofa was worn and had saggy, uncomfortable cushions. Otherwise a great room and we definitely would return.

We stayed in the cottage at the Buccaneer Inn and were pleasantly surprised by how spacious and comfortable it was. Even with just one night, it felt welcoming, and we’d gladly come back for a longer stay

Great option

Hotel room was spacious. Had a kitchenette and a comfy bed. Was very clean and comfortable. Only downside if any is that the rooms don’t have air conditioning ( they do have fans in the rooms ) and the parking is a little tight. But would recommend if staying around town.
