Fairmont Empress
Spacious well appointed room. Comfortable bed but came home with bruised shins from repeatedly hitting bed frame. Best location near attractions, shops and restaurants. Disappointed both pool and hot tub closed for renovations. Would have booked elsewhere had we known. Wonderful staff.

Sandman Hotel Victoria
Staff was courteous. Pillows and pull out couch were awful. Couch very hard and the pull out bed terrible. Vehicle was broken into in parking lot right in front of the hotel

The Magnolia Hotel and Spa
The Magnolia is in an excellent location in the middle of Victoria, close walk to anything you'd want to do as a visitor, and right near the boat and air terminals. The hotel itself was very clean (probably THE most important aspect of hotels) and the staff were awesome.

Victoria Regent Waterfront Hotel & Suites
The hotel and area were wonderful. The only downside was navigating the one way streets and finding the hotel parkade.
