Ella Park Tours

Jaw dropping view from 80% of the rooms.

The Royal Scot is located in an excellent location for easy access to the harbour and many tourist attractions but being one block back offers quiet and privacy. Check in was easy, the rooms are dated but are very clean and in good shape. The stay was nice and quiet except one night the pool was filled with a group of 30 parents and their young children. You might think about putting some foam or something on the ceiling or walls to absorb some noise. The echo in the pool area is very loud. Not the fault of anyone as they were just having fun. The attached restaurant was closed, which was not told to us which made a difference for our breakfasts and I think should have made the price of the suite cheaper as the rooms are not cheap and the restaurant was one of the considerations for booking. I was also not told that parking outside in their hotel parking spaces would be an extra $22 a day. We rented a small Nissan Sentra and the parking spaces were so tight it was hard to open the doors to get in and out of the vehicle when parked. If I had a complaint it would be the parking. I understand space is premium in this location. Overall I would recommend the Royal Scot as a good choice to stay in Victoria if you like to wander the harbour and have walking access to many restaurants, shops, tours and attractions. The pool and hot tub are clean and in good condition, always had lots of towels. There were other rooms in the basement for pool, shuffleboard, and reading.

I liked everything! It’s in a wonderful area with museum, parliament building, horse and carriage rides, dining out in the area. We will stay here again!
