Strathcona Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was very comfortable. The location was perfect: a library around the corner, Beacon Hill Park and Chinatown at a walking distance, and so many points of interest near by. The staff was welcoming and I can honestly recommend to book your future stay at Strathcona Hôtel in downtown Victoria."

Oak Bay Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and toiletries provided were elevated in quality and quantity from what is standard. Staff were helpful and attentive particularly the pool, front desk, and valet staff. An extremely pleasant and relaxing experience in the off-season when the hotel feels less busy. Would come back again for the elevated service and quality room."

Victoria Regent Waterfront Hotel & Suites

"The property was situated on the city side of the Harbour, with water front view. It had many wonderful little resturants around it as well as shopping and was a short walk to the Empress as well as the Government buildings. If you are coming to Victoria this is the place to stay."
