Boutique hotel with great history! Smaller size rooms but clean and cozy. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Restaurant and pub below had great food and ambience. Good location - a lovely walk to downtown harbour area and Parliament buildings. Bastion Sq area also only a short 5 min walk away. Would recommend for sure if you want an great alternative to new, trendy hotels.
Beautiful old character hotel that has been well looked after in the perfect location for anyone wanting to visit Victoria. Staff are very friendly with complimentary coffee that is available early in a beautiful lobby and great breakfast make for a very nice place to stay. I highly recommend the James Bay Inn.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The property is in a good location for walking and shopping.
The towels were too small and worn out, and there was no rack to hang them on if we wanted to save energy by not having them replaced. No hair dryer or information about picking one up at the desk. Upper floors are accessed by stairs only, no elevator.
This is the third oldest hotel in Victoria so it has a lot of history. After reading Emily Carr's books, it has even more meaning! I love the fact that it is updated and comfortable but still has that historical feel. Love the seating areas in the halls, the deck and the large spacious lobby where we enjoyed sitting and reading. The staff are incredible. They care about you and your comfort. The restaurant on site is great--good prices and great food. And easy walking distance to the busses, and Parliament Buildings and a bit of a walk further to the interesting downtown area which is lovely and has lots of good shops and restaurants.
