5/5 - Excellent
Lovely seaside community with a few touristy things but more of a residential community. We travel there often and always enjoy walking around town and on the waterfront






Booktown is known for its ample dining options, and you can make a stop by Victoria Distillers and Port Sidney Marina while in the area.

Beautifully newly renovated quiet suite with view of the water.

Limited utensils, bowl , cups No cabinet or drawers to put our things in the second bedroom. If you are staying in the place for one week or more there should be some place to put our clothes instead of just in the suitcase. I think my expectations was way high Since I have stayed with the same rating ...

The Parkside was perfect for our family trip. Location was great for walking around the city. We loved the pool and the koi fish in the lobby!

The breakfast was amazing. I felt like a king.
We were en route to Salt Spring Island so this was a short visit. However, Sidney is a really pleasant surprise. We ate at a Japanese restaurant and then splurged on a cheese-tasting at The Farmer's Daughter - it was terrific.
Most convenient to ferries to the gulf islands
Beautiful place to home-base for an exploration of Vancouver Island. Close to everything around Victoria, and a little more quiet than staying directly in Victoria.
Just a nice spot
