Fairmont Empress

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful Experience"

James Bay Inn Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful little gem. Was in Victoria for my convocation and got to stay here. The staff are incredibly friendly and we were wowed by the room (suite!) we got. Perfect location too - it's a very short walk into all the great things downtown and down to the water but is also super quiet in the neighborhood so you can sleep well. We will definitely be back."

The Oswego Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"From the friendly greeting to the heartfelt goodbye, this was a very positive quick stay in Victoria. Parking was simple, the facilities clean and comfortable, the decor beautiful and our suite was a perfect place to relax after a day of travel and sightseeing. We were very impressed with the environmental initiatives by the hotel. Overall a wonderful experience."

Inn at Laurel Point

6/10 Okay

"Had higher hopes for this place. Hotel was under construction, which wasn’t disclosed at booking. Room 220 is probably the worst in the place, no real view (blocked by a tree), across from a loud ice maker. Not very good soundproofing in the hotel, we heard people partying late and then staff was vacuuming outside our door before 8am on a weekend and woke our kids up. The location is nice — just outside of the thick of the inner harbor area but easily walkable everywhere — but right next to the new ferry terminal construction which apparently will be somewhat disruptive to foot and vehicle traffic through 2028. We’ll look for a different option next time."
