  Customer Review on 10 September 2006 

The hostel is like a home away from home. It is not a loud, lewd, or "party" hostel. It is an excellent place to meet other travelers. Travelers cook and sometimes share meals in a clean and airy kitchen/living area. However, after ten p. m. , quiet time is observed. My sleep was never disturbed by loud noises or "wild" parties or activities. The front door is locked at ten, even though guests are given keys to the door. The owners are very kind and helpful and will do anything and everything to make your stay better. They made train/bus/ferry reservations for me, or, if they couldn't, found out how I could. The rooms were clean and airy; the bed was comfortable. There was always plenty of hot water in the showers, and there are several showers on each floor. An extra nicety was the commercial washers and dryers downstairs. The Painted Turtle is located in the downtown of Nanaimo, very close to shopping and to the Harbor and theatre and arts area. Nothing is too far away. The owners also keep a supply of goods that travelers might need, such as shampoo, laundry soap, bottled water, etc. Tour information and information about other hotels and hostels is made available in the lobby. Internet there is free. I really cannot say enough good things about my stay at the Painted Turtle. The price is more than reasonable, especially for all the relaxation, assistance, and enjoyment I received during my stay.
