We stayed in this hotel at the beginning of July and really enjoyed it. The
location was close to all amenities and extra curricular activities were
accessible. Our suite was everything that we expected. We would definitely stay
there again!

Great Location right downtown Victoria within easy walking distance to the
harbour and many other downtown attractions and restaurants.
Check in was seamless, though it would have been the same with a check-in
kiosk/machine. Not a whole lot of personality or enthusiasm from the desk clerk.
She looked like she was ready to go home and not all that interested in guests
or sharing the features of the hotel or the surrounding area.
The room we had was interesting. We booked through hotwire and ended up getting
a "2 room suite", but since there was only two of us we only made use of the one
room. The furniture and decor was really outdated and it smelled musty/old, not
just in the rooms but in the hallway also.
In short, it was far from the best hotel, but it even further from being the
worst. It looks as if it used to be a Quality or Comfort Inn or something and
the furniture is reminiscent of that. All in all, an okay place to stay. I would
likely try something else in the future, but I wouldn't be overly upset if I had
to return to this hotel.

We stayed 3 nights here in a one bedroom suite. Very spacious room, clean, and
nice kitchenette. Not much view, but you're away from the Harbour a bit, so
that's expected. Very close walking distance to everything Victoria has to
offer, and convenient downtown car rental if you want to venture out to Butchart
Gardens or Craigdarroch Castle.

The Chateau Victoria has many pleasant things about it, but it definitely isn't
the best place I've stayed at.
Pros:
1. Great location! Just a few blocks away from Parliament Buildings, the
Empress, and Government Street. You can easily walk to most of what you would
like to do in downtown Victoria.
2. Clean rooms. Our room was spacious and clean. We had nice view from our
balcony too.
3. Friendly service. Every interaction we had with the staff was pleasant and
friendly. When we asked to switch from a double queen room to a king room, they
were more than happy to comply. They even brought the keys to our new room
directly to us instead of making us haul everything back down to the lobby.
4. Free high speed internet, nice-sized TV.
Cons:
1. The bathroom left a little to be desired. The tub was shallow and shower head
was low. The water pressure was finicky, and so was the temperature. Also, if
you don't have the fan going, the bathroom becomes really foggy and the musty
feeling can linger long after the last shower. Overall, it was just an okay
bathroom.
2. The beds were comfortable, but the linens were rough and the pillows were not
up to par. They were lumpy and uncomfortable.
3. The noise level. In general, the hotel was very quiet, but we stayed during a
couple of warmer days, so we needed to have the windows open to feel
comfortable. We tried the air conditioner (which was not great--it was loud and
made the air incredibly dry), but to no avail. With the windows open. you could
definitely hear the nighttime noises of Victoria--especially the club music from
the local rooftop club about a block away.
Overall, we expected something historic and charming in the Chateau Victoria,
but things just felt dated. It certainly wasn't a bad hotel--it just wasn't
great either, and we definitely felt that we could have stayed somewhere better
for the money we paid. |
