Downtown Victoria hotels

We had a great time at the Magnolia. I think the best part of all was the outstanding soundproofing in the rooms. I could barely hear our neighbors or housekeeping. I have travelled all over the world and can confirm this is very rare. The room was overall very comfortable. I especially appreciated the half and half in the fridge and the Aveda products in the bathroom. Bathrobe and slippers were also great. The on-site restaurant was also terrific. Loved the tea, coffee and fruit water in the lobby. The front desk was very helpful. We checked out at noon on the dot, not to waste a moment in this hotel.

This hotel is right downtown and walking distance to a great many tourist sites. The place itself is phenominal: great character, best breakfast we've had in a hotel in God-knows-how-long!, very inexpensive. Room is large and comfortable with four-poster canopied bed. We may return to Victoria just to enjoy this hotel.

Loved the location,..within walking distance to restaurants,and downtown.....and very close to the hospital and clinics to which I had to attend.

The breakfast was outstanding. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The owners were very nice and truly service oriented. I would recommend this for others visiting victoria, B.C.

Stayed from Wed. evening to Sun. morning and my son's family joined me for Fri. and Sat. night. Rooms were clean and comfortable with all usual amenities. The independently (but attached) Smith's bar and restaurant had good breakfasts and dinners, and was the best quiet evening place for conversation. I had a little trouble with other travel arrangements and the staff was helpful, courteous and timely. All staff members were cheerful and said 'Hello' whenever we passed. The larger bar attached is a rocking place in the evening, but the noise did not enter the room (I was on the same side of the hotel). The hotel is in the middle of the tourist area I and I walked everywhere, from the museum on one side to the Swan on the other. I will stay there again when I am in Victoria - and the price is right.

This is an excellent hotel to stay at. It is right downtown and we did not need to rent a car, we were able to walk everywhere. Would absolutely stay here again as the hotel was very clean and I cannot say enough about the location. I was travelling with another adult and am not sure if I would bring my child to stay at the hotel with me as it is on a very busy street and there is not much to do for children.

We started our vacation on Vancouver Island in Victoria and ended it there about 10 days later. This is a lovely hotel, very central, walking distance to the water, to main thoroughfares - Douglas, Government, etc - chock full of restaurants, bars, stores, coffee houses, pubs, and still walking distance, maybe about 10 minutes to Empress Hotel. We found it good value, very well maintained, very clean, and with an exceptionally nice staff. Our first time, 3 nights, we had a room on the 5th floor, near the elevator . We did not hear the elevator. There is a restaurant in the hotel - Stone's Throw - where we had a substantial breakfast and good service. When we checked out and reminded the young woman at the reception that we will be back for one more night, she offered us complimentary upgrade to a larger room with a kitchen. indeed, when we returned to Victoria after a fabulous excursion through the gorgeous Vancouver Island, we were taken to our larger suite on the 4th floor, a large spacious room with a full kitchen, and a sitting area. Excellent hotel!

We had an absolutely INCREDIBLE weekend at the Rialto. What a beautifully restored hotel in an ideal location downtown. We were celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary and the hotel went above and beyond to make our weekend incredible and romantic. The welcome cheese plate was to die for! Michael the concierge was so amazing, he gave us the best suggestions for food, entertainment and things to see. He even booked us on an amazing whale watching and gardens tour! Honestly without his expert recommendations and local knowledge we would have missed out on exquisite meals and little known gems. The room was delightful, very well appointed and just the right size. We really enjoyed the heated bathroom floor. We will definitely be planning a return trip to Victoria and of course the Rialto. We cannot recommend this hotel enough, seriously go there, now!

Great hotel. Great price, great parking, great service, great soap, great kitchenette... I consider this hotel a superb find and will stay again. :)

Less than 5 walking to the Save On Food arena. 7 minutes walk to downtown. Staff were great
