The location was great and the room was overall nice and clean. But the shower
drain was totally plugged, and I had to pull out a long handful of gucky hair,
bit by bit, before it would drain. Yech! And make sure you get one of the rooms
with balcony or patio. Ours had only windows that looked out on an alley at
pavement level. Also, there was no counter space at all in the kitchen or bath.
The only table was so narrow it could only seat one person at a time without
overlapping knees. And no DVD player. Not a great experience, overall.

Very nice hotel with large, clean and well decorated rooms. Ours with a all you
need kitchenette. No restaurant on site but very close by and you have the
option of cooking yourself your meal with the well equipped kitchenette. Right
across the entrance of Beaconhill Park if you really enjoy a stroll in the park
or need some open space for children to run and play.

I have been staying here at the Helm's Inn for nearly two weeks. I'm visiting
Victoria while taking a class at the University of Victoria. Helm's Inn is clean
and quite with friendly and helpful staff. I have rented a suite with a
kitchenette witch is perfect for longer stays. The location is wonderful, close
to the inner harbour and great downtown shopping and restaurants. The bus stop
to catch a ride to the University is just a block away. Best of all, I feel safe
here which is important when I'm travelling on my own. The cost to stay here is
very fair considering the room size and amenities. I would recommend this hotel
to anyone visiting Victoria!

This was my third stay at the Helms Inn. You cannot beat the location, price and
convenience. They have a nifty arrangement with the establishment next door if
you get back late and need to park, as their parking lot is somewhat small. It
is quiet and for the first time we stayed on the first floor, normally we stay
on the second. I slept on the hide a bed which was a bit difficult for me to
maneuver, but managed. They have remodeled the reception area and it is very
nice. Staff are very helpful. The hotel rooms are always very clean. Very easy
walking distance to everywhere you want to see in Victoria downtown. Park is
nearby and the harbor and parliament and museum all quite close.
Room Tip: I prefer the second floor. There was some door banging as people went
in and out the front and side doors. We stayed in the middle bldg. I've never
stayed in the other 2 buildings.

My wife and I stayed in Helm's about 2 weeks ago. It's a nice hotel with very
friendly staff. We arrived more than an hour before the official check-in time,
but we didn't realize that until after we went up to our room. We figured it's
because the Front Desk Manager Chris just let us in without any hassle since the
room had already been ready. The room was clean and cozy. The bed was
comfortable. The hotel location was excellent, close to everything: inner
harbor, bus terminals, downtown and restaurants. We had a good time in Victoria
and Helm's provided us with a nice base. Thanks. |
