The parking is a public parkade shared with other businesses and general public. $9/night for parking. The hotel itself is dated but they've gone through renovations inside. The elevators were extremely slow. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. We had the Coastal King, which included a king bed and a sofa bed. Perfect for 3 adults + 1 kid. The bathroom sink was my only complaint. I had to keep turning off the water to let the water drain. Maybe they need to collab with Draino? The view from our room was spectacular, overlooking the Nanaimo harbour.

We've checked in to this hotel for a night in Nanaimo and was very happy with our stay. We got a…read moreroom on the 12th floor with an ocean view. We also had the best view for Northern Lights. The room was huge with a window-type AC and a King size bed. I am glad there's no carpet in the whole suite and bathroom was spacious and very nice. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Parking fee is $9 per night. The location of this hotel is a winner. It's in the downtown and by the waterfront and close to ferry terminal. This hotel is highly recommended.

The only suggestions are to put bath soap or body wash in the bathrooms (there was shampoo and conditioner but no soap) and to provide additional towels, as we ran out. There was also no paper towels to wipe up any spills, which was annoying. Other than that, we slept well and had a comfortable time.

We recently stayed in the Arbutus room at Above The Narrows while visiting Salt Spring Island. The…read morehouse is newly built and beautifully designed, but the best part of this bed and breakfast is definitely the view. Everything is really as beautiful as the pictures and you can see it all from the bedroom! It was also such a bonus to get to watch the sunrise and the sunset in bed without having to venture out. Joe and Dianne are the hosts at Above the Narrows and they were very friendly and helpful on our trip. Joe gave us many great recommendations while we were there and they also have a guidebook in the room that pointed us to some great spots as well. Joe also prepared the breakfast each morning and it was very delicious! He even used local eggs which made the meals extra special. I was very happy with the amount of interaction I had with the hosts. They are not overwhelming at all, leaving us to enjoy our breakfasts alone. The room also has its own separate entrance so there is quite a bit of privacy. That said, Joe was very responsive and was always happy to answer any of our questions. The location of the bed and breakfast is also very convenient if you are driving. Personally, I visited Salt Spring Island without a car once and it was definitely not a very good experience because all the fun things on the island are quite far apart. But there is a nice network of trails right by the house and we could go on morning/evening strolls through the forest with ocean views too! We had such a great time here and I would definitely recommend this place!

I have stayed here twice when in Vancouver and I can honestly say that this is the best bed and breakfast that I have ever stayed at.
