A great location near lots of sites!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Strathcona Hotel. It was conveniently located close to many places we could walk to- downtown shopping and restaurants, Murchie’s and Munro Books, the harbor and the Royal BC Museum. We parked in the hotel parking lot, 1/2 block away that was really convenient. Our room had a king sized bed, a sofa, microwave and small fridge. It was great place to come back to each evening to relax. People working at the desk were very friendly and helpful. A big shoutout to Nathalie for having our room ready early. We stopped to drop off our luggage early, and were thrilled to find out we could check in early.

In the center of it all, walkable and close to everywhere. Directly above the best dive bar in town, Big Bad John’s. And next door to the library! Very friendly and helpful staff, quick and easy check in.

It's a nice central location, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. What I found problematic was that I booked a room that said it was for 4 to 6 people, but then at check in they made me pay extra for every person over two people. Then when we got to the room, there were only two towels in the bathroom.

Given the limited parkings in Victoria, hotel provided paid parking at reasonable rate. Hotel is located at busy street where traffic and people noises can be heard. Hotel staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Room is quite clean but small.

I didn’t like that the parking was extra and half a block away and not covered. I had to walk in the rain to get back to the hotel. There was a signed that said bottled water was free but when I asked for two she said it was $3/ bottle. The fixtures in the bathroom were dated, even the shower head. I think it was a bath fitter renovation on the bathtub and a part sticks out bothering me when I was showering.

There was construction on our floor that was very noisy. Victoria Police were banging on a door at 1:00am in the morning (no fault of the hotel) and the parking was mentioned to be unsafe. If I was 20 and there for a party it would have been good enough.
