Hotels Near Oak Bay in Capital

Great hostel - the high points are the staff who are friendly, efficient and professional. The complimentary breakfast and dinner are such a bonus and keep travel costs low. The room (we had a private) was a nice size, comfy bed, lots of hooks for clothes, clean and we had a great sleep. The building is cool and fun to explore. Laundry and bike storage in the basement and lockers to store your things while you wait for checkin or check out. Great common area to meet new people and lots of resources. Great location, too - five blocks to the waterfront and lots of bookstores and cafes around the hostel. The challenges - really there are none. Victoria has a housing in affordability problem the same as Vancouver and there are a couple of great agencies in the area supporting people in poverty. Say “hi” to those struggling like you would a new hostel friend and you will make somebody’s day. We love Ocean Island Inn Hostel and will be staying here every time we come to Victoria - at least twice per year. Thank you to all the amazing staff at Ocean Island.

I had another great stay here. The valet was super friendly and helpful, and check in was a breeze. Front desk agent was very sweet. My room was clean and comfortable and I had a really nice view. This is my new go to hotel in Victoria. I also love that there’s a Starbucks in the lobby.

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.

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 regularly stay at the Red Lion Inn and Suites (2 adults, 3 children - age 4, 10, 12) as it is the most affordable accommodation for our family of 5 when we need to spend a night or two in the city. The proximity to everything else is great, and although you do sometimes have to park a bit away, there is always ample parking (you can always load in/load out at the front). Somehow, the rooms are always so quiet - we were there this time when totally booked out and still no noise. In the summer, the outdoor pool is always a hit with the kids, it's always very clean and well kept. We've never had any issues with room cleanliness - we run a cleaning service in our small community that includes hospitality cleaning contracts, so we are pretty fussy, too! I love that the floors are all granite, gone are the days of gross hotel carpet!! The staff have always been really nice to us, and have accommodated our requests really well. Extra blankets and pillows, extra coffee - no problem. Late check out, usually no problem. My only critique that has only come up the last few visits is the set up for couch beds/extra bedding. I am certain that a number of years ago I stayed at the Red Lion with some family members, and I ended up sleeping on the pullout bed and it was like sleeping on a CLOUD it was so comfy. It was a proper pullout couch bed, and I think there was an added memory foam topper. I would gladly sleep on that again! The last few visits we have been, where the set up has been a suite with either a kind bed or two doubles in the bedroom and a couch bed in the living room, the couch bed has been a ”click clack” style bed, where the couch cushions are the bed. The bed is not made up for additional guests (which knowing from hospitality experience, is probably so that guests can enjoy the couch during non-sleeping hours) so it is on the guests to fold out the click clack bed and make up the bedding. Though totally passable and clean as a sleeping surface, the bed is really not very comfortable. As we have three daughters, we usually give them the bedroom and my husband and I sleep out on the couch bed. We're in our late 30's and after a day running around with those monsters we are tired and old and ready to sleep! I've also found that the bedding that is included for this bed to be some what insufficient - both times including the sheets, one pillow and the brown insulator blanket (i.e. there are not enough pillows or a comforter). Also, I think a rollaway bed option would be great, and I'd definitely pay to have that option. This past visit we were 5 to a suite, king bed in the room and double click clack couch. We made it work because our 3 girls are happy to be cozy and share a giant bed, but if the option were there we'd loved to have had a cot to toss the youngest on. That is all! We will absolutely be back time and time again, but this is the one thing we have not thoroughly enjoyed during our last few stays.

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.

I'm a middle school teacher in USA. I recently brought a group of 14 sixth and seventh graders on a class trip to Victoria, BC. We stayed at the Robin Hood Inn and Suites and I'm so glad we did! Here are a few of the reasons I would recommend this hotel: 1) The beds and bedding were VERY comfortable. 2) This is one of the few establishments where everything is EXCEPTIONALLY clean. 3) The staff, including the owner, was highly attentive and accommodating. (Ex: we took cabs to one of our destinations; the front dest staff called the cabs for us and then, when one of our student left his wallet in the cab, they reached out to the cab company several times to retrieve the wallet). They even gave small souvenirs to all the members of our group on the last morning of our stay. 4) The sign outside the hotel says it's the best value in Canada and that seems about right... we chose the hotel because the rooms were less than chain hotels down the road. But then Robin Hood gave us so many extras. They met us at the Clipper and took our bags back to the hotel. They offered us umbrellas for the group when it was raining. They have complementary e-bike and kayak rentals. The continental breakfast met the wide needs of our large group. The list goes on. 5) The hotel ”Great Room” is awesome. Between the pool table and the foosball table and the board games and puzzles, our students made a lot of memories. There's even a good sized ”library” in the great room that some of our prolific readers enjoyed checking out. Way more amenities in this room than you'd expect in an Airbnb or VRBO. 6) The hotel is right next to the galloping goose trail, the 11 bus line (just a few stops to downtown and we never waited more than a couple minutes for the bus), and the water taxis (aka ”pickle boats”). If you want a comfortable stay for a fair price with lots of extras, this is your spot!

The room rate does not include breakfast, two 1.5-meter beds, refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine, electric kettle, and two closets. The bathroom is large and there is a bathtub shower room. The balcony is very large and deep, and it feels like three people are doing yoga at the same time. The balcony is a golf course and it is great.

This hotel in Saanichton has a Bavarian look. The staff are really friendly and willing to help. The hot deluxe continental breakfast is very good with the sausage, eggs and waffles. It also has great bran muffins with the whipped margarine but there is other kinds as well They have a variety of juices, yogurt and cereal along with tea/coffee. The rooms are quiet even with the highway right there. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom had all the amenities. The pub downstairs has great drinks and food, Wednesday wing night is a blast. Overall we had three people and we all enjoyed this hotel and would go again.

Because the scenery is very good, I took my parents to stay for one night. More remote, the road is in good condition, but the curvature is very big, be careful when driving at night. This reservation does not include breakfast. But before I went to the wedding to have a breakfast, there were a lot of breakfast choices and the restaurant scenery was very good. Book a twin room, this type of room should not be able to have an extra bed Parking is available at the hotel entrance and below, free of charge. If you like the friends of the sunny sea, especially the quiet holiday that likes to stay away from the crowd, the first hotel
