Tofino Paddlers Inn

Tofino

The Tofino Paddler’s Inn is perched on the waterfront of downtown Tofino. The building has a lot of character being around a 100 years old and the town’s original hotel.

The Inn has five rooms. We pride ourselves on clean, simple and funky accommodation for the traveler to stay and explore the area. Rooms are private with a shared kitchen and two shared bathrooms Loved it! Rooms were lovely (especially the ones with the sea-facing view). Not huge but big enough, and very cosy and homely. Shared kitchen had everything you’d need. Would recommend!
