    The hotel is in a lovely building close to the main harbor and tourist attractions. There's a pub underneath that serves great breakfasts in addition to dinners and drinks. The location is quiet and the best for visiting the Royal BC Museum. It is in a great neighborhood.

    The room was huge & tastefully decorated together with a larger bed as well as aircon. Food in the attached restaurant was good. The vibe here was quiet! It was great to have complementary coffee in the lobby.

    The location of the hotel is amazing. It is so close to everything, with a pub and restaurant right on-site. You can easily walk to the inner harbor in one direction and to the center of the city in the other. The room was spacious and comfortable, with cozy beds and linens. The staff was pleasant and easy to talk to. Plus, there were dining options available at the hotel, and the food was tasty and reasonably priced.

    The only downside was some early morning noise from the downstairs dining room.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and I was lucky enough to check in early. The building and interior have a unique charm, making it feel like stepping back in time. The hotel is conveniently located close to downtown and the Victoria harbour, making it easy to explore the main attractions. Additionally, the hotel facilities, including the restaurant and bar, were a great added bonus. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, with a three-course meal only costing $20. this hotel provided a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

    Everything was spot on.

    This hotel is located in a great neighborhood, nestled in a cute little area away from the traffic. It's surrounded by charming tree-lined streets and beautiful houses, just a short distance from the picturesque harbor. The location is perfect for exploring the main attractions of the city.

    This quaint, historic hotel in a residential section near the waterfront and downtown is perfect for exploring. The friendly staff provided excellent recommendations and allowed for a late checkout. The restaurant served delicious breakfast with a 15% discount coupon. The common areas were comfortable and the location was just a short walk from the city center.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.
