Smallish room but well laid out and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and complimentary coffee was always available. There was a lovely courtyard in the back and that was a relaxing area to sit and enjoy a coffee and read. Complimentary newspaper was also provided. Really, the only negative was the noisy air conditioner which we opted to turn off when we went to bed so we could sleep. However, it certainly worked well and kept the room niceand cool. Our room was located near the main road so traffic could be a bit noisy at times especially if there were sirens from ambulances or police cars going by. However, the majority of the rooms do not face the road and would be much quieter. We would book here again for sure. Show More

Convenient that it has a full kitchen that is fully stocked with utensils/pans/plates/bowls/cups/cutting board/knives/scissors, even with dish sponges, dish detergent, paper towels, dish cloth, kitchen towel, full size fridge/freezer, stove, oven (with baking pan!), microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee maker that actually makes good strong coffee for a hotel. Lots of lighting, not like your typical very dim Hotel room. Sofa bed that comes with a full size extra futon mattress so it is very comfortable. Old building but very clean. Very happy with this hotel!Show More

Our room was a studio with one king bed. The room had a full kitchen, kitchen table with two chairs, two lounging chairs and side table. With all of that still plenty of space. The bed was very comfortable. The property has a couple of nice outdoor areas with seating by flower pots and plants. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend and will stay here again as I visit Victoria yearly. Show More

The front desk Asian woman was friendly. We lost our parking slip and she promptly gave us a replacement. We had a one bedroom suite. The unit was clean, but the air conditioning was inadequate. There was only one window AC unit in the bedroom, and none in the living room, which made it uncomfortable at night – I woke up feeling overheated.Show More
