Hostelling International Nanaimo

Hostelling International Nanaimo is the HI jewel of Vancouver Island, with a mid-sized property that has quickly set the standard for future properties.

Winner of the Hostelling International’s 2007 Best Property in Canada – Nanaimo has raised the bar for facilities, amenities, accommodation and customer service. The HI Nanaimo Hostel, a fully restored 1875 heritage property, is unrivaled for its facilities and amenities, and offers an impressive selection of room types suitable for families, groups, independent travellers and globetrotting backpackers. Hostelling International Nanaimo prides itself in its hot deals and great rates, complemented by services such as travel planning, group accommodation and extended stays.

Although historically the City of Nanaimo has not been in the forefront of travel destinations in British Columbia, Canada, it is a fascinating and unassuming small city with lots to do and see. It is everything that west coast BC has to offer and then some. Nanaimo is fast becoming the “must do – must see” city on Vancouver Island. Located in the centre of the island, it has excellent transport links and is the gateway to the Pacific Rim including Tofino, Ucluelet and the West Coast Trail.  All of these unique features and benefits makes Hostel International Nanaimo a destination stop.
