Hotel review of the Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites
July 25, 2011
As soon as we can get back to Victoria, we will stay at Chateau Victoria again.
Our room was large, clean, and updated. The staff was extremely helpful. Free
internet and shuttle-( of course you should tip shuttle) The Public bus system
is great- we caught bus 75 right in front of the Hotel- first stop and rode all
the way to Butchart Gardens- a must see for under $10 for family of 5 each way.
(30-40 min. trip- nice drive)
This hotel is right behind the famous Empress Hotel on the Harbour. Walking
distance to everything you need.
Room Tip: Higher rooms with Harbour view are the best. But all rooms have a
view- the city is beautiful

Stayed for 4 nights in a queen deluxe suite. Room had a separate bedroom with a
queen and flat screen tv. Main room had a queen bed and a couch, table for two,
microwave, fridge, sink and large flatscreen tv. Room was very clean, beds were
comfortable. The only negative would be the air conditioning unit in the
bedroom. It kicked on and off all night and is quite noisy. It wasn't hot while
we were in Victoria, but the room was warm and just an open window wasn't
enough. Hotel is in a great location. We just left the car in the parkade and
walked everywhere. The only meal we ate in the Vista 18 restaurant was breakfast
which was good. View was very nice, too bad it was cloudy the whole time we were
there.
The bellman was very helpful and friendly as was the front desk staff.
Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

We stayed in this hotel at the beginning of July and really enjoyed it. The
location was close to all amenities and extra curricular activities were
accessible. Our suite was everything that we expected. We would definitely stay
there again!

we came back in the evening

Great Location right downtown Victoria within easy walking distance to the
harbour and many other downtown attractions and restaurants.
Check in was seamless, though it would have been the same with a check-in
kiosk/machine. Not a whole lot of personality or enthusiasm from the desk clerk.
She looked like she was ready to go home and not all that interested in guests
or sharing the features of the hotel or the surrounding area.
The room we had was interesting. We booked through hotwire and ended up getting
a "2 room suite", but since there was only two of us we only made use of the one
room. The furniture and decor was really outdated and it smelled musty/old, not
just in the rooms but in the hallway also.
In short, it was far from the best hotel, but it even further from being the
worst. It looks as if it used to be a Quality or Comfort Inn or something and
the furniture is reminiscent of that. All in all, an okay place to stay. I would
likely try something else in the future, but I wouldn't be overly upset if I had
to return to this hotel. |
