Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. The rooms, although a bit dated and facing internal patios which made them dark, were surprisingly spacious with high vaulted ceilings, providing a king bed, desk, table and chairs, and a full kitchen. The location was excellent, with easy access to various attractions and amenities in downtown Victoria. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with restrictions in the restaurant and a noisy atmosphere in the pub. Overall, there were positives and negatives to consider during my stay.
The hotel offers great rooms for groups of 4+2, excellent service, and is situated above a fantastic brewpub with delicious food. Rooms overlooking the street provide a lively atmosphere, while those facing the communal patio offer tranquility, though accessed via a long flight of stairs.
The hotel is in a prime location for exploring Victoria, with easy access to unique stores, the harbor area, and various transportation options. The rooms were spacious, clean, and accommodating, making for a comfortable stay. However, the dining experience was less than satisfactory with limitations on breakfast choices. The service was top-notch, matching the expected price range, and the in-house brewing was a delightful touch of local flavor.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were perfect for my family of 4 with two bedrooms, a living room area, and a kitchenette. Everything was clean and tidy. Having two baths was a definite plus. The service was very attentive and friendly, making us feel truly welcome. The hotel's location in the heart of Old town was amazing, allowing us to easily explore the downtown district and walk to all the major sites. The dining experience was a bit loud but passable. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel is well situated and very quiet, with clean and fairly large rooms split over two levels. The stairways are a bit narrow, but overall, it's a comfortable stay. The service was responsive and accommodating, making up for any inconveniences. The location is amazing, close to the Center of activity with easy access to various attractions. The dining experience is tailored toward a younger crowd, while the facilities are fantastic.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were huge on two floors with a massive, comfortable bed but no air conditioner upstairs. The staff was incredibly friendly and informative, creating a casual and welcoming atmosphere. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Victoria, offering great views and easy access to restaurants and walking trails. The dining experience was good but geared towards a younger crowd and could be very loud. The hotel is just in Old Town Victoria, with spacious kitchen and dining areas.
The hotel was like a cozy 2-bedroom apartment, needing some minor repairs but nothing major to impact my comfort. They had a helpful hints binder, a cute layout, and a comfortable stay. The service was top-notch and responsive despite a slight condescending encounter. The location was excellent, above a lovely pub, with easy access to facilities like laundry and running routes. The dining experience was geared toward a younger crowd, a bit loud but with delicious grilled seafood. My stay was pleasant despite minor room issues.
The hotel offers massive rooms on 2 floors with a huge comfortable bed but the layout might not be ideal for elderly guests. The communal patio is spacious, clean, and lovely. The service is very friendly and informative, going out of their way to help. The location is wonderful, within walking distance to restaurants and walking trails, making me feel very safe. The dining experience was fantastic at the hotel restaurant. Overall, a great choice for a comfortable stay.
