Great hotel downtown Victoria - charming!
This was a lovely stay - the staff at this hotel were exceptional. It is an excellent location - central Victoria downtown - handy walk to everything. It outwardly appears to have a bit of a sketchy element - connected to liquor store, and two pubs - but I was travelling with my two kids and we loved the old hotel glamour and downtown feel - and felt safe and well looked after for our weekend stay!!

Great location
Excellent location, close to the parts of the city centre you need. The staff are lovely and really helpful. The room is comfortable and quiet. The bars attached to the hotel are great and have everything you need. The parking for the hotel is around the corner and easily accessible.

Great spot for nightlife
Excellent location. Staff are kind; the rooms are newly renovated.
Parking is tricky. There isn’t enough spaces if the hotel is full.
