Hotels near Government House, Victoria

It's a cute boutique hotel with friendly staff. There's only one elevator and surprisingly it was always available whenever we needed it. You can park on the street (parking meter) or at the parkade behind the red bldg which is across the street (though we didn't check it out). We arrived around 6 pm and had free parking in front of the hotel till 9 am Sunday. There was a fruit bowl and beverages at the front for guests. We had dessert at the hotel restaurant and it was delicious! We were on the top floor and the room was very clean, but I found the pillows very uncomfortable (too puffy and can't flatten them down) for my neck. Unfortunately we stayed during Saturday night and it was super noisy till late at night (from a few cars speeding at the nearby street to some people being very loud) - maybe it's not like that during the weekday. Chinatown, lots of restaurants and the harbour are within walking distance.

Booked for my wife and I to spend some time away exploring the Victoria and area. I initially booked the ”Petite Suite” which was just a bit too cozy for us (my fault - didn't read the details). Despite the busy time, the desk staff were incredibly gracious and worked to accommodate a swap to a larger room. Unfailingly helpful and polite - they made our stay. The actual Hotel is ridiculously charming and cozy, and ideally located within walking distance of various parks, pubs, restaurants, etc. When we come back to Victoria, we'll be at the James Bay Inn!

We stayed 3 nights at Grand Pacific Hotel. Our room (5th floor) was amazing as we had a little deck from which we could watch the ferries come & go as well as harbor traffic. Through the trees we could also see cruise ships too! Due to staff shortage there was no daily housekeeping but they would bring up towels and coffee etc as required. We only ate 2 breakfasts at the hotel but both were very good! Especially the Avocado Toast !! The hotel location was perfect as it’s walking distance to many attractions and close to the harbor taxis too. Beautiful at night with the parliament lit up and the various fountains, horse drawn carriages and harbor lights. Definitely will be back.

The location of the hotel is superior, and you can walk to the scenic spots when you go out. There is a kitchen in the room, where breakfast and coffee can be easily made. There are two very comfortable beds without disturbing each other 👍.

We chose this hotel at the last minute, We needed something close to the Jubilee Hospital, and needed a good price. I love the location of the Huntingdon Manor. We ended up with a Euro Loft suite, which is a room with a kitchen, sofa bed, and then 3 beds upstairs. The room had everything we needed, and would work great for a girls weekend as it sleeps 5. We had a lovely harbour view. Our rate also included breakfast, and parking which is a huge bonus! The room is a bit dated, could us some new carpet for sure. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay.

We were traveling with our three granddaughters for a graduation High Tea adventure. We picked Victoria BC and the Delta Marriott and we’re very pleased. Our Black Ball ferry delivered us to Victoria before check in and the desk clerk had rooms for us. The water taxi from the ferry port/Empress stop took us right to the Delta stop with all our luggage. The Rooms were comfortable, the Club Room worked out well for our large party and the server in the bar on the evening of June 29 has the best customer service. Taxis were ordered, directions happened, what a great visit to Victoria BC

I found the hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Not too far from restaurants or shopping centers. The room was clean and surprisingly quiet for a hotel. We really liked the bathroom. No complaints. Would stay here again anytime.

I'll start with the good..... free parking, hot water, power shower, daily fresh towels & coffee, iron & ironing board, good staff, microwave, kettle, Keurig, fridge. Our room was OK. However, there is no elevator. The bed creaked every time you moved, the springs were noisy & when one rolled over, the other followed suit, you both rolled together it needs a new mattress & base. The pillows were lumpy and had no substance to them even when you used two. The curtains were threadbare & paint peeling off the walls. No safe in the room. Storage & hangers are minimal. Black grout in between the tiles on the floor (needs a scrub with some grout cleaner). This doesn’t mean it wasn't cleaned as there was no hair in the sink or bath from previous occupants that we saw room was cleaned daily with fresh towels. The sink was not in the bathroom but in the bedroom. Pool & sauna.....pool was warm, but it needs a clean - there were live bugs in the pool we were in it approximately 10 minutes before we got out as we were grosses out, you could not see the bottom it was cloudy. The saunas are separate, one male & one female with change room facilities we didn't use them we also didn't use the fitness room. Access to the pool/sauna/fitness room, you have to go outside, walk the path , and then re-enter the building. The on-site dining....The Loft great staff with good pub food salt n pepper pork bites were very the kitchen staff worked very hard. Live music most nights but not disturbed by it. The Coachman, we had 1 breakfast there, and it wasn't great. Apparently, the chef was Grumpy that day .... maybe that's why it wasn't great? Waitress was great. All in all staff, were great, shower was powerful & hot, bed was not comfy we won't stay here again when we visit next.

Our two-week stay was a great experience. The suite two Queen beds corner guest room was a great size and a value for the price. However, with the new soaps and conditioner pump bottles hanging off the walls, the limited space is significantly reduced for turning around. A wand-style showerhead would have improved some of these concerns. However, the hotel maintenance staff were accommodating and installed one we provided within ten minutes. Of particular note is the location of the corner suite, the distance from the elevator adds an additional difficulty for mobility-challenged individuals, as walking in one direction is quite a distance. The daily construction across the street also discouraged using our balcony or opening our windows to enjoy Victoria's spring air. We did not eat at the hotel pub as the menu did not appeal to us, and breakfast was not included. Still, there are various nearby restaurant options to satisfy our needs. The indoor pool was cool but refreshing, with our swim limited to no more than 15 minutes. A continuing challenge is the free parking at the hotel, as more is needed because guests compete for spots with the pub and construction workers across the road. Too often, someone would occupy the two accessible locations, and the rest of the parking lot would also be full. However, the front desk staff was terrific. We will definitely look to returning to the hotel in the future.

On our Canda tour we spent a few days at Brentwood Bay Resort. We booked a Ocean Suite. The staff was really very friendly, the room mega beautiful, everything clean, the beds comfortable, especially the bathroom with the bathroom ”half in the room” really beautiful and somehow something else. We had dinner in the pub in the evening and the food was delicious :) A pool is also available. In principle, yes, but the location of this was a great disadvantage for us personally. The rooms with balconies are almost directly at the pool and are therefore visible. Everyone can look at one at the evening “sitting out” as well as scream from the restaurant. The volume is accordingly. When we were there (under the week), it was not super full and therefore durable. In full-occupied pool and well-visited pub (e.g. weekend), this will be different. We have tried to exchange the room (which was unfortunately not possible) and have actually felt something disturbed in our private life. But we have enjoyed our stay!
