My daughter and I had a two night stay along with a 4 hour kayak tour. We found the Paddler's Inn to be very clean and comfortable. Being the end of the season the Inn was quiet and only half full. We certainly had no problem with shared facilities. We enjoyed our dinner and bottle of wine on the deck... More

I don't really want to tell anyone about this because I want it to be available when we want to go again ;) .. However, I feel this place earns a recommendation for being simple, comfortable, clean, very clean, (did I say clean?!!), quiet (end of September), reasonable price and very convenient location. This is the first time we have... More

Before we came here we were a little worried after reading some of the other reviews about Paddlers Inn. However we really enjoyed our stay here. The location is great, and it's worth paying a little extra for a room with a water view. The set up is more like a hostel rather than a b&b, with shared facilities. Sharing... More

We stayed for six nights and explored beautiful Tofino and surrounds by foot and bike. This is a great place to stay if you're looking for a clean and comfortable base for lots of outings and adventures. The bathrooms are shared and so is the dining area/kitchen. Don't let this put you off - everything is well supplied and spotless,... More

Stayed a couple of nights at the Padders Inn, comfortable, clean and cozy, its located right next to the sea and close to the market and restaurants. I didn't have any trouble with noise. I recommend it.

We enjoy this place. It wasn't anything special or fancy but we had no problem sleeping here. It had a nice cafe and patio in the back shared by the shop. The bathrooms are shared but they were very clean! No problems with hot water, long waits or anything. There is an extra bathroom downstairs by the entrance too. Loved... More

I will NOT be staying at the Paddler's Inn again. This place now seems to be very badly managed. I recently stayed for a few days hoping to re-energize and relax. Instead, and in high season, management considered it appropriate to go ahead with two very noisy maintenance projects. Guest comfort certainly takes second place here. I arrived to carpet... More

Tofino is still a beautiful town on the island and i do hope the people of tofino keep it as such there is always a risk of these places becoming a bit "tacky" not so the paddlers inn.What a fantastic place to stay.Often "no frills" is not a compliment but it is meant as such when refering to Paddlers inn...

We had an extremely negative experience here. The walls are paper thin and at $79 a night I don't expect to be asked to don the "complimentary ear-plugs". Noisy would be an understatement - Don't even consider this place during the high season, and I would think hard about staying here again period were it not for my wife's unequivocal... More
