Favourite Victoria hotel
Posted May 23, 2017You can't beat the location and the price is excellent. Always find the staff friendly and the rooms comfortable. It is an older hotel so upgrades could be done but considering you'll pay 2 or 3 times the price for most hotels in the area, the Strathcona is an amazing deal.

good location
Posted May 18, 2017
Pros: enjoyed the continental breakfest
Cons: Free parking and room changes available without big costs. complimentary coffee for someone who is up before 7/30 breakfast time
Location: location is good
I had pre booked quite a while in advance. Then my partner had knee surgery so had to have there own bed, I inquired for a room with 2 beds as the one I had booked was apparently 1 queen, they wanted 40$ more. I said I would not pay that but still needed 2 beds so they told me I could have a single and a double bed for 15$ more so as I had to have 2 beds I had to take it .I was not pleased and then you have to pay 15$ to park your car. Was not impressed

Location: In the heart of downtown Victoria. Shopping, sightseeing. Great walking city.
Beautiful old hotel that needs some TLC. Bar/restaurant on sight. Great food!

Noise level
Posted May 8, 2017Stay was good. The only comment I would make is making the windows soundproof. The noise from the clubs can be heard on the 3rd floor.

Iconic hotel in the center of things
Posted May 6, 2017Hotel stay was good overall, some hiccups though. Stayed on a Thursday which is probably good because there is a definite party atmosphere around the place. Our room was on the 5th floor which was great for quietness, but upon check out became a bit of a pain because the elevator was down and having just returned from a vigorous walk around town was not great having to haul up shopping bags and my tired self. Friendly staff and comfortable beds made the stay great for the time we were there. Would stay again if just myself and hubby. Wouldn't recommend for families.
