Es handelt sich um einen von den Studenten im Sommer verlassenes Studentenwohnheim. es ist sauber und ordentlich, man kann dort kochen. es ist leider recht abgelegen, so dass ich dort nicht noch mal ohne Auto hingehen würde. es waren auch nicht sehr viele Leute da, so dass man sich dort etwas verloren fühlte. Die leute am empfang waren jetzt auch nicht so super enthusiastisch oder nett.

This is a great, economical option during the summer, as long as you know what to expect. Generally, there are very few people around. The walls are paper thin, though, if you do get a neighbour, and be warned that two rooms share a bathroom between (co-ed). I find the XL twin bed very comfortable but the pillow inadequate. WiFi is great. Many rooms have a view over the city to the water.

Good but no frills
Simple stay with no frills. Stayed 2 nights and 1st night shared a bathroom. It was quiet. Room was warm as there is no AC. Fan available though. Ok when nothing else was available during holiday weekend. Just glad to find something.

No frills but comfy enough
Would have loved some AC. Warm days and a warm room. Shared bathroom 1 of the two nights.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The area feels very safe and is quiet at night. It is a little out of the way but well connected by bus. And there are bunnies everywhere, it's adorable!

A good facility at a good price. Well run with onsite help at hand most of the time. Nanaimo is well located as a basefor exploring Vancouver Island.
