Guest Review of the Coast Harbourside Hotel Victoria
BC
Feb 2, 2011
Hotel was clean and quiet. Located close to the
Parliament and reasonable rates. They accept pets and
let us leave our dog in the room while went outside for
a few hours. In the hallway, I noticed I could hear my
daughter in the bedroom. Thin walls!
Stay away from the restaurant. Terrible service and
horrible food. We paid over $40 for two burger w/ fries
and chicken on our first day.
Mattresses are cheap and pillows seemed to be bought at
the dollar store (probably are those $1.99 from Ikea).
After the third night I had to go to the pharmacy for a
sore and very stiff neck and back pain. Couldn't relax
at all in the bed. My 5-day stay for Christmas left me
wishing to back home asap and be able to enjoy a good
night of sleep.

We stayed for two nights at the Coast Harbourside after
previous visits to Victoria at the Empress. We were
tired of the expense for the history there. Harbourside
was a great alternative. The rooms and most of the hotel
had a recent remodel, which showed nicely in the decor,
furnishings, and finishing touches. Free wifi was a big
plus. We stayed in a King Harborview and found the room
to be quiet, private, and spacious. There was a nice
workout room, an indoor-outdoor pool, a hot tub, and a
sauna. The pool area seems to have been missed in the
remodel, but I'd rather have an older one, then none at
all.
Its a bit of a walk into downtown, especially to some of
the more extensive shopping options. But we are young,
so we didn't mind working off some of the great food we
had in Victoria. They also offer a shuttle service which
operates on a first come/first serve basis (so you might
wait) but its complimentary, so you can't argue with the
price.
The Blue Crab Grill was alright, a bit pricey but it
tasted better then much of the hotel food we had.
The management and staff were efficient and polite, and
were able to accommodate an early check in, and a late
check out, due to our travel arrangements with the
Clipper.
We'll be back.

The Good:
The staff was very helpful. We took the Victoria Clipper
over from Seattle, and they let us check in 3 hours
early. They also held our bags after check out while we
saw the city on our last day.
The so-so:
The restaurant was good, but definitely overpriced.
You're paying for convenience here.
The not so good:
There was a draft in the room because the heater was not
a snug fit. You could actually see a sliver of daylight
next to the heater. We just turned the heat up, but it
was a little annoying. The in room fridge didn't work.
Overall, the hotel just needs updating. I'm sure it was
4 stars when it opened, but looks like it hasn't had any
updating since then.
I'd definitely try something else next time.

This hotels was great. The staff were very professional
and the room that I stayed in was lovely 1808 - had a
balcony, king bed and was very spacious. I had planned
on staying here for a night but stayed here 3 because my
experience was great. I ended up getting a great deal
for $300 a nite which included the room, parking (which
is normally $40), breakfast for 2 at the hotel
restaurant would was Great! , PLUS $100 gift certificate
for the mall. I really enjoyed my experience here. I
would recommend this hotel above most of the others I
have stayed in, in Vancouver.

This hotel is very good : nice clean rooms, a great view
of the harbour if you get a view room, excellent
restaurant, the location provides an excuse for a nice
walk to downtown Victoria, good service. The only
annoyance was the diabolical heating/air conditioning
system, which is found in many hotels in this part of
the country. These thru-the-wall units are noisy and are
unable to maintain a nice steady temperature. The only
justification for their existence is that they are
cheap.

We stayed at the coast for a quick night away from home
, our room had a great View , there is a great pool and
hot tub and the hotel is right in town . We were offered
a shuttle to anywhere in the area as well if we were not
up for a walk. Great srevice with friendly staff.

No need for a car
Our room overlooked the inner harbor and the view was
spectacular. The location of the hotel made it an easy
10 minute stroll to downtown and a 2 or 3 minute walk to
fisherman’s wharf. The condition of the hotel was very
nice and the staff very friendly and accommodating. The
pool and spa looked inviting but after spending the
entire day riding our bikes on the Lockside and
Galloping Goose trails we only had enough energy to walk
downtown to one of the pubs for dinner and drinks. I
would definitely stay at this hotel again.
