The moment you arrive at the hotel, you feel right at home. It's a small boutique hotel with a European flair. Imagine staying at grandma's house, where everything is taken care of and all you have to do is sit back, relax, and soak up the cozy atmosphere. We stayed on the second floor, and I'd like to point out that this hotel does not have an elevator. This hotel has a recreation room, a small restaurant attached to the main house, an outdoor seating area for breakfast, a small bar, and a gift shop. The staff are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We had an excellent stay. The location of the hotel is also important to consider. It is a short walk from downtown Victoria, where the main shopping street is located.

The location is slightly off downtown; if you have a car, it's not a problem. Street parking is fine; you can pay $19 for a night. The flat is huge for two people. The facilities are in good condition. There are two Dyson fans, one in the living room and another in the bedroom. We were here in the summer, but the temperature at night was around 12-14. It's good not to have AC in the room, and the room still feels cool enough with the balcony door and the bottom windows opened in the bedroom and the living room, even without turning on the fans. There are washing machines with a drying function in the room, which are free to use, but you must bring your detergents or buy them at the front desk. I liked the living environment and the fresh air here. As it's off the main road, I enjoyed the silent evening without traffic noise.

Pianist with no handsThe only duckie hotel in Canada it is! We love the big duck in the roundabout. Had a smooth and quick check-in. We were gifted two extra duckies besides of the one in our bathroom! Free coffee & tea at the lobby.
This hotel is a renovated motel. We can park very closed to our room, where it’s only a stair away. A restaurant right next to the lobby. There are so many restaurants and shops opposite the hotel. The location was superb!
The room was very clean besides of the soap bar near the bath tub. It was still dim after all lights were on, especially the area of full size mirror.
No amenities in this building, but laundry is cheap $2 each only

Guest UserQuaint hotel, with a great location.
Staff greeted us as soon as we walked through the door, we were able to check in early and dump our bags and walk into the city centre which is probably 10 minutes away.
Room was very big with 2 huge comfortable beds, no tea or coffee facilities in the room but you could get some from the reception area.
We decided to eat in the pub downstairs which was lovely, it was packed and there was a game on so everyone was very happy

Booked and pre-paid through Trip.com Would have given 4 stars for service but check-in clerk attempted to charge me again for the room at a higher rate then blamed another staff member for not doing their job correctly when I objected to the charge and showed my confirmation. When I said I would park my vehicle elsewhere rather than pay for parking she said my vehicle would be towed if it was parked at the hotel. She was rude and abrupt and had me questioning my choice to stay there. The check-out clerk however was very polite and friendly

Guest UserI had a fantastic stay at this hotel! One of the highlights was the free bike rental, which made exploring the area so much fun and convenient. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise; the homemade croissants and pastries were absolutely delicious and added a delightful touch to our mornings. The billiard room was a great way for our family to relax and enjoy some quality time together. We also found the coin laundry service incredibly handy, especially during our extended stay. Overall, a wonderful experience that made us feel right at home!

We stayed as a couple at Sandman Hotel Victoria for four nights over the Christmas holidays. The hotel looks fresh and modern, as if recently renovated, and was very affordable for Victoria given the season. Amenities include a swimming pool, hot tub, and gym, and the gym is particularly well equipped for a hotel in this price range. Unfortunately, we never had a chance to use the pool or hot tub as they were consistently crowded, and at one point two guests appeared to have poured soapy products into the hot tub, effectively turning it into their own bubble bath, which was unpleasant, and staff did not seem to address it. Another downside was housekeeping: daily service is not provided by default and must be requested each morning, which was not explained at check-in. When we did request housekeeping, towels were replaced and the bed was made, but toiletries such as soap and toilet paper were not replenished and had to be requested separately. Overall, good value and a fresh property, but housekeeping practices and monitoring of shared amenities could be improved.

Trish Hope BinghamThis was a nightmarish trip, 1st I had asked for a room on the highest floor possible, with a view of the Harbour, I am a photographer and made the trip to Victoria to get some great photos of the inner Harbour. I got a room on tenth floor overlooking the parking lot and side street. The windows were so dirty it was hard to see anything, in my eyes I was ripped off, I am not going to to stay at any Merriott hotels, at the time of my booking it said they had a buffet breakfast and when I arrived they told me there is no buffet breakfast just a restaurant on site, parking was said to be free self parking. I was charged $29.40 / night to self park my truck.

We had a pleasant stay at the Arbutus Inn and it was a good base for us to explore Victoria. We chose this hotel because it was affordable and parking was included. The hotel staff were super friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
The room was well equipped with air conditioning, mini fridge, microwave, coffee machine, and very good lighting. The beds were comfy and the room was mostly quiet during our stay. The bathroom was good and the provided shampoo, body lotion and bar soap for the shower. They do not provide daily housekeeping here but you can pick up more things or put in requests at the front desk. We feel extra attention should be given to the AC unit, mini fridge and shelving for cleaning.
The location for the hotel was good. There is a good diner across the street and some decent restaurants nearby. It is a 20 minute walk to Chinatown and 30 minutes to the inner harbour area which are both worth exploring. There are a couple of bus stops nearby which can get you to other areas of the city too. We drove and felt it was easy to get into and out of this area. National car rentals operates an office here as well if you need to rent a car.

Great hotel great location ,stopped here many times ,parking is now better but still costs you $20 day but it is downtown ,heating in room very poor ,had to ask for additional heater .this room also had large windows with a view to the ocean which was great ,but heat loss from windows with a small portable radiator was not sufficient ,but luckily this room had an open fireplace ,so I sublimated the heat by making a nice fire ,may be a good idea for the hotel to offer to sell the logs rather than me going out to a hardware store to buy them
