Top Sidney Hotel Reviews

Embassy Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and amenities were great. Nice continental breakfast. The bed is quite stiff but that’s the only negative of the stay."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort

8/10 Good

"The staff were friendly and super helpful. The hotel's location is great...right along the water and a short walk or water taxi to downtown. We cycled here, so having access to secure bike storage was fantastic! The pool and hot tub were perfect after a long day spent walking around Victoria too. The only weird feature, was the placement of the showerhead. As opposed to the usual placement at one end of the tub, the showerhead was right in the middle of the tub, so the water shot straight into the shower curtain. We've stayed at this property before and did not have this issue, only this time (room 409). Having said that, everything else was great and we will be staying here in the future."

Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The location is great."

Fairmont Empress

10/10 Excellent

"This is an older hotel that has been beautifully maintained and updated. I stayed here 3 years ago and it seemed even more beautiful this stay with the renovated bar and updated adjacent Asian restaurant. Our room was small but very clean and included more amenities than we expected or needed. And you cannot beat the location- you can walk just about everywhere. The one disappointment is how the Yes, it’s pricey but well worth the splurge."

Hotel Grand Pacific

8/10 Good

"Très bon emplacement, très pratique pour visiter à pied. Les commodité comme la piscine et le service reçu 5/5, le personnel était très accueillant, et les enfants se sont bien amusés! On a beaucoup aimé l’option d’avoir le room service pour le restaurant. Par contre l’hôtel est quand même vieux et ça se ressent dans les chambres et couloirs (deco, bruit des salles de bain). Et points en moins pour le parking payant sachant qu’on paye déjà la chambre, le parking inclus aurait été mieux."

Huntingdon Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had a lovely time here. Staff, facilities, and food were great. We rested and slept like babies. The location was perfect and close to all of beautiful Victoria, BC."

Red Lion Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"Room was a good size for our family! Not often a hotel is comfy for five of us. Nice to have a bedroom and large pull out sofa. The building could use some updates or repairs (water stains on ceiling, water damage on door, etc) but I still think it was a great deal for the price and the bedding and bathroom and everything were clean."

Coast Victoria Hotel & Marina by APA

8/10 Good

"We booked this on line, and very honestly, it may have been one of the more expensive hotels we have ever booked. From some perspectives it was very good--location, cleanliness, attractiveness, staff, etc. but from some other perspectives we were not positively impressed--i.e. the air conditioning unit was so noisy we had to turn it off in order to be able to sleep, there was no shuttle service available until mid-afternoon, not when we needed it, very tiny deck, etc. Fortunately, after reporting the noisy air con unit, a very helpful maintenance person (Jay) came the next day and repaired the unit. We also were informed that we would not "qualify" for the voucher for the hotel restaurant since we booked our room with Expedia (which was never mentioned at any time). We feel the detractions were significant enough to lower our rating to a high average or good."

Oak Bay Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Oak bay was a cute area but this Resort was all we needed for our weekend. The restaurants were good with fantastic service and the POOL! cannot recommend this report enough."
