This is a cool little hotel. The room was clean although the hallway rug was stained in several places. The room does not have air conditioning and the window only partially swings open but it was not a problem. Tofino tends to cool especially in the evening. Our room also had an interesting shower situation. It had a large shower that opened right into the room not into a bathroom. There were hooks in the shower to hang a towel or clothes. It would have been excellent if you were showering a small child with you. The staff was very pleasant when we arrived but the info we received was limited although we did get a property map. We found ourselves with many questions…how to get coffee for the room in the morning, what checkout time was, how to use the bike’s etc. There wasn’t info in the room. The hotel itself has some excellent vibes features- shuffleboard, ping pong, arcade games, a place by the mud flats to sit and relax, a hot tub, etc. I think this is an especially excellent place to stay with kids. There is a lot for them to do.

The hotel has everything that should make a hotel great. Good for kids and lots of fun ideas. However staff were slow and unresponsive (apart from one your lady with long dark hair who was great). We spoke to the same lady on the desk a number of times and it just felt like the lights were on but no one was home. Lots of smiles but felt we weren’t being listened to. We requested towels for the hot tub four times before getting them. The bar was slow too. Cool location and in principle this place should be great. We’ve stayed at 2 Fairmonts before arriving here which were nicer and cheaper. Hotel Zed is very over priced for what it is. Wouldn’t recommend it personally …

Fun, funky retro chic design (70s all the way) with a laid back comfortable vibe that’s great for all ages and stages. We really appreciated the onsite dining, easy and free parking, short walk to the beach or drive to town and the myriad places outside and in to gather with friends and family. Great team on staff, warm, helpful and welcoming. We already look forward to our next stay. Oh and a place to launder clothes onsite…wow!

Cool concept of a property (60s-70s style). Higher price includes amenties of hot tub, sauna, laundry services, in-room coffee (electric kettle and percolator), free arcade games, free parking. Has a separate in house cafe and restaurant to purchase additional food. Has additional bike and surf rental services on the property. Great hotel for a family especially if it rains as the amenities keep the kids busy.

Hotel Zed Tofino had a great retro vibe. It was fun to have the arcade, ample area to hang out (inside and out), great restaurant option and coffee spot. They even offer laundry option and coffee in the room. I really don’t enjoyed the sauna and the look out spot behind it; it was a nice quiet spot to enjoy my morning coffee. The restaurant was a bit slow in service when we went but the food was pretty good. Great place to go with kids or solo. I’d come back here again.

This is such a cool place. We really enjoyed our time here. The grounds, buildings and surrounding areas are magnificent! Our room was clean and comfortable. The only thing that was slightly inconvenient was the bathroom. There’s really nothing that can be done, but the shower is behind the door (when its open) so privacy is hard to come by. If you do want it though, you will have to hang up your clothes and towel inside the shower and dry off and dress in the shower.
