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 Port Sidney Marina and Sidney Museum and Archives while in the area.

We enjoyed our stay, as always, this is the best location in Sidney! Friendly staff here, comfortable rooms, and cozy bed, and quiet.

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
