The staff at this motel are incredibly friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. While the decor might be a bit dated, the comfort it provides is undeniable, making it a great value for the price. I'm already looking forward to returning on future journeys, especially considering its convenient proximity to all necessities. Highly recommended!

The location was very nice, out in the country. We listened to crickets all night instead of cars and sirens and it was dark, no streetlights! The suite was well appointed with comfortable seating and a TV. Hostess had already prepared our coffee for morning, all we had to do was turn it on. There was a nice assortment of goodies in the fridge for breakfast/snacking.

Fantastic buffet breakfast, super friendly hosts. Among other things, they recommended a nearby place to see salmon spawning with black bears attempting to catch them. Our favorite stay of our Vancouver Island trip. We weren't bothered by road noise, unlike some other reviews. We only wish we'd stayed more than one night

We stayed in Port Alberni as a stopover on our short vacation to the coast; accordingly, it is difficult to assess/review the town. I met one lovely couple while banking and was greatly impressed by their friendliness and willingness to help a total stranger.

Port Alberni is relatively easy to get around.
Port Alberni is relatively easy to get around. Lovely hiking spots and parks. Great sports areas. On the beautiful ocean inlet, with fabulous views. A variety of shops and restaurants. The gateway to the wild west coast. First Nations cultural experiences available.
I would not forget my cell phone charger so that getting around might be even easier with GPS.
My favourite was going on a dog walk with my hosts along a lovely wild path by a stream with waterfall and a beautiful kingfisher.

Staff smoke in the lobby
Staff smoke in the lobby
They bring their children to work and children are constantly pulling the fire alarms
Rude service some staff were nice though
Maid did not ever clean the rooms
No more breakfast
Broken vending machines
Not safe for children
Fire hazard as there’s no cover on fire place
And the laundry shoot door is always open a child could fall through that
Over priced for what they provide
Not impressed and the location is filled with drug addicts and homeless people
Maids steal your medication too
Poor service all on all

We enjoyed the activities at the Harbour Quay.
We enjoyed the activities at the Harbour Quay. Farmer's market, evening music and evening strolls along the water while enjoying small shop products. Great restaurants and cafes to choose from. Our favourites: Boomerang Cafe and Bare Bones (platter for two) . Bamfield trip by boat. Sproat lake swimming. Stamp River Provincial park where we saw the salmon going up the waterfalls and bears coming around. ( we learned from a native family at the river to clap loudly, everyone clapping with whatever you had at hand, to get the big black bear approaching to run away). We found people were very friendly and would always greet you. Many cafes and places we did not have time to go to are in our calendar for next time around. Beware restaurants close early in Port Alberni so check closing times before heading out to eat. Overall, great memories of Port Alberni.

Starboard Grill was excellent meal on the docks one night and Twin City Pub had excellent pizza and a variety of local beers.
Used Port Alberni as a jumping off location to visit Tofino/Uceulet and Bamfield - served us well!

We did a few local hikes like the Hole in the Wall and Cathedral Grove. Our hosts recommended another one we did in the morning called Little Qualicum Park where they had views of the upper and lower falls. We visited a brewery and took in the beautiful scenery. Impressed with the stores they had, didn’t know Port Alberni was so big! Would definitely recommend travellers check out this nice place on the island!
Great location right in the heart of Port Alberni within easy walking distance of several good restaurants. The owners are super nice, friendly, accommodating,etc. Bouchra’s breakfasts are fantastic. She incorporates many Moroccan spices into her cooking. The sleeping accommodations are snug to say the least. The rooms are tiny with bunk beds. The beds are very comfortable. The lower lounge area is very comfortable. It is a great place for the guests to mingle, get to know each other and exchange ideas.
Beautiful property located just outside of Port Alberni. The house was incredibly cozy, well stocked with a full kitchen and dishwasher. The main bedroom faces the mountains, treating you to an amazing view each morning. The bed in the master suite is quite possibly the comfiest bed I’ve ever slept on, it was like sleeping on a cloud! :)
Moni the host was very gracious and friendly, as well as very quick and communicative leading up to our arrival! Will definitely be staying here again!
our room was spacious and comfortable.
Hummingbird Guesthouse is how I originally imagined the World of AirB&B- you get the feeling that you are staying in a home rather than a guesthouse.
we couldn’t find anywhere to stay in Tofino area so settled on Port Alberni and opted to drive.
it worked out well for us. the house is already on the pacific rim highway out of town and it’s an easy drive for Tofino or Ucluelet.
Bill and Milly are incredibly accommodating and friendly people, who will tell you about all the best spots to eat, hike and other hidden gems. Bill prepared a healthy homemade breakfast every morning, and even made each of us a homemade soap to take home! The place itself is spacious and clean and has a beautiful view of the water, and is in walking distance of all the best restaurants in town!
If you like ships and the sea, this is a must to go place. Very special. The hosts are very kind and make you feel very welcomed. Very good and freshly cooked breakfast. Even though it´s not a bargain, compared to the prices in Tofino it´s still very good value for money and you can easy go for and back to the coast on the same day. Don´t expect the sapce of a 5star hotel, it´s a ship ;-).....
The owners of BC Cabins were incredibly responsive, flexible and understanding. Due to matters out of our control - extended highway closure - we were unable to arrive on our booked night of accommodation.
The owners worked with us to find a resolution. We will definitely be reaching out to them when we’re back in Port Alberni. Highly recommend!
The worst place to stay. When we came to the hotel, we made a mistake on booking and in stead of trying to help to solve the problem, the owner was so angry and super mad. The solution was from her side to charge 7 months baby and 3.5 years old boy 100$ extra per night for the same room which we booked. There were no changes just extra charges.
The facility has improved since the last time we were there. Breakfast is being offered now and it is very good for a very reasonable price. The hotel was built when I lived in that town so being about 45 yrs old the single pane windows need replacing. It rattled bady in the wind in the room I stayed in. I would stay here again.
Friendly and quick check in. Friendly staff outside cleaning and working. Location good. Price was good. Was surprised to see an asian food restaurant attached to the lobby! We arrived too late and it was closing otherwise we would have ate there for sure! Bathroom, beds, etc... were clean. Had a mini fridge and microwave.
A wonderful stay in a spacious and comfortable home with two of the best hosts that any traveller could hope for. If you're staying in Port Alberni and this place is available you shouldn't hesitate to book. Breakfast is delicious and the room itself is extremely well-kept/comfortable.
I had a nice stay at this unique place in Port Alberni. Char is a really welcoming host and super nice and friendly.
I did stay in the Camp-In and sleeping in an former church is definitely a experience, the atmosphere if this room is really remarkable.
The lady who runs it is lovely. The rooms were extremely old and in poor condition. Broken windows, stained furniture, only one pillow on beds. The hotel has seen it’s day and even at $45 a night I’d be writing the same feedback 😔
The room was immaculate, the bedding luxurious, and the hosts gracious. They provided lots of information about the area, restaurants, and the traffic delays to make sure we didn't get caught.
