I was looking for a low-priced luxury hotel and found the Harbourside Hotel to more than meet my expectations. Location is excellent if you want a beautiful and romantic view overlooking the harbour (right on the water) and extremely clean and well maintained rooms (no bathroom rot etc.). Room termperature was perfect with quiet central fan without me needing to adjust thermostat. Hotel is in a quiet and safe neighborhood, within 10-minutes walking time to the harbor sights and 15-minutes to downtown. Hotel provided a free shuttle service to anywhere you wanted to go downtown. My only less than satisfactory experiences were too much chlorine in the spa, and the fitness center could use more free-weights to supplement its universal weight machine. I would highly recommend this clean, modern, and friendly staffed hotel to visitors of Victoria.

Even though we're fairly local, we thought it would be fun to show the kids Victoria. The hotel is in a great location, great views, clean, new, small enough that there are no long treks with luggage. Staff is a little unfriendly, but efficient. I had my small dog, and she was welcomed. My husband and I thought we'd have a nice dinner in the Blue Crab while the kids ate pizza in the room. I've never experienced such amateurish, terrible service in a restaurant of a caliber that this restaurant pretended to be. Worcesteshire sauce was delivered in the place of soy sauc, whith no humble explantion or apology. Menu items were not suggested or sold, just "taken." My advice: stay at the hotel but dine elsewhere.

Liked the location, close to the marina. The shuttle service is very accomidating, I used them several times to go downtown. Front desk staff accomidating although not overly friendly. The room was very clean. Had dinner in the hotel dining room and found it to be overpriced and the food only average, although the service was good. Would not go back to the restaurant but would stay at the hotel again.

Great Hotel -- Excellent service and a great bed ! with the rates tho I think parking should be free !!

great place to stay everything was very clean and comfortable. We had a great view of the harbour and could watch the ferries and seaplanes land. The room was very quite and the bed was awesome. You must get crab in the restaurant its amazing.
