convenient & friendly
Great location, charm and very helpful service.
Harbourside is the place to be -- easy walking distance to all the shopping and
restaurants.

Our room was just what I expected, but if you're expecting all the modern
amenities, this is not the place for you. Our corner room had a king sized bed,
antique wardrobe, loveseat, and windows overlooking the harbor. There was a
modernized bathroom with a shower. It was an old home, and some windows were
painted shut, and the carpet and furniture showed some wear, but in my mind
that's what made it quaint and homey. The restaurant downstairs served a very
nice breakfast and the staff was friendly and helpful. At first the other couple
vacationing with us was in another building - in the only room in that building,
but the staff was able to move them to a suite across the hall from us. Their
room was larger with a separate seating area, but no shower. If you're looking
for something different from the usually sterile modern hotel, this is it. I'd
love to go back.

This stay we had was amazing. Amazingly horrible! There was so many problems we
had I'm not sure how anybody with a right mind can give this place a good
review. Simply put it needs a lot of work. Our room was smelly and the carpet
was disgusting. The best part of our Victoria trip was being away from this
Mansion. Besides our room, some of the staff were very unprofessional. We were
having afternoon tea and could over hear an older gentlemen and woman making
dirty jokes. We tried to ignore it but it got to the point where it got too much
so we did not even finish our tea. We asked to pack up the sandwiches and
desserts so we could just leave the restaurant. Overall, we will not come back
and we do not recommend this place at all. Anyone checking in should check out
immediately. Horrible rooms, horrible staff and a horrible experience. Not
pleased at all.

My friend and I stayed the Gatsby Mansion for 2 nights. It's a very charming B &
B within walking distance of downtown Victoria. The breakfast was included and
quite delicious! Rooms are fairly large, very cozy and clean. Loved the claw
foot tub. Caroline, the woman working at the front desk is truly the "hostess
with the mostess". She's excellent and helped make our stay great. I highly
recommend staying at the Gatsby!

We love staying in hotels with character. This place has character and then
some. We chose the least expensive option as we were only there for 1 night, and
it was awesome. We had a queen bed with a separate little parlor with the tv and
fireplace. Breakfast the next morning was included and we had any choice off the
menu. Food was fabulous and plentiful. The only difficulty was upon entering it
was very confusing to find the check in. Once we figured it out it seemed fairly
obvious. Would highly recommend the Gatsby and will definitely return. PS great
view of the harbor even from the inexpensive room. |
