Victoria City Hotel

I'm afraid I did not get the name of the young lady who attended the check in desk in the afternoons and evenings. She was an absolute gem! I hope that she receives the accolades she's earned. She gave me clear and helpful information and directions each day with regards to restaurants, museums, public transportation and even offered to come pick me up when I went out walking after dark and got myself lost! I called her to request a taxi for me, which appeared 5 minutes later. The room was on the ground floor, excellent hot water, and the restaurant and staff were delightful as well.

This is a really cute little boutique hotel. Very welcoming. The outdoor common spaces are designed well and great for gathering for coffee in the morning drinks in the evening or playing cards. The breakfast was excellent and you could order off the menu. Staff was very accommodating. When we asked for extra pillows, they brought us new ones. The rooms are small but had everything we needed in them. It’s not on the beach and that’s really the only negative. However, we found out that at Surfside beach, which was within walking distance they had day passes. You could get chairs and an umbrella for 12.50 a person.

Breakfast is included, the staff are super friendly and helpful, there’s free WiFi (which is great for travelers like myself), and it’s right across the street from a restaurant and close to other restaurants. There’s complimentary water, tea, & coffee upstairs in the lobby area and there’s a patio (this would’ve been really nice there was a view. This hotel isn’t in the best area so when you look out from the patio you see older buildings.) The room has a full length mirror, iron, and mini fridge. If you just want somewhere to sleep while you travel, this is it.

The staff were friendly and helpful especially David and the lady who assisted me on the day of my departure. My room was clean and comfortable. The location is a bit far from the main street but, it’s like 10 mins. walk to the harbour and the bus terminal. Also, the complimentary breakfast was good and delicious. I had a very relaxing stay in the hotel.

We liked the staff We liked the location of the hotel relative to the downtown area We liked the service in general We liked the open conversation area on the second floor (big balcony with seats) We liked the shower room in the bathroom
