    Charming and cozy stay!

    Such a cute spot! We loved the spacious room with a big bath, super comfy beds, and the old-school vibe. Hedy and Anmol at the front desk were so nice, giving us great tips for our trip. The diner downstairs was fantastic! One thing to note, no elevator, so pack light if you’re on the upper floors.

    Charming Stay with Friendly Atmosphere

    I had a wonderful time at this quaint hotel with its vintage charm and welcoming staff. The location is fantastic, just a short stroll to downtown, and the clean, modern decor added to the comfort of my stay. I appreciated the friendly service and enjoyed the on-site restaurant's delicious meals. One downside was the absence of an elevator, which may be inconvenient for those with heavy luggage.

    stair navigation
    air conditioning
    small shower

    I loved the charm of the James Bay Inn. The room felt cozy with antique furnishings and was very clean. Free coffee in the morning was a nice touch. Staff were friendly and helpful, offering to carry my bags up. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the waterfront and attractive parks. I enjoyed the restaurant downstairs. the meals were delicious. On the downside, climbing the stairs was a bit tough, especially with luggage. No air conditioning made it a tad uncomfortable at night, but a fan helped. The bathroom could use some upgrades, particularly the shower. It was small, and the water pressure varied at times, which was annoying. Overall, it’s a lovely place if you don’t mind the quirks and enjoy a historic atmosphere.

    I enjoyed a lovely stay at James Bay Inn! The historic charm captured my heart, and the location near Beacon Hill Park was perfect for evening strolls. Just a heads up, stairs could be a challenge for some guests. A very nice experience!

    charming location
    spacious room

    Perfect for a couple's getaway!

    I stayed for 2 nights in a Standard Queen Room and it was amazing! The location was perfect, walking distance to all the parks and food, and our room was nice and big! You could see the horse-drawn carriages go by from the window, which was a nice touch.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but it was all worth it.

    Had an awesome time with friends! We checked out the nearby museums and strolled through the park. The pet-friendly room was cozy and had everything we needed. Plus, the on-site restaurant served delicious meals. Don't miss the charming ambiance and friendly staff—they certainly make the stay memorable!

    Just a heads up, there are quite a few stairs to navigate. If stairs are an issue for you, it might be better to look elsewhere.

    This place is a top selection for a holiday in Victoria with high value for money. Enjoyed the charming view of the park and friendly cats roaming around. Tip, Be prepared for stairs if you’re in the cottage.
