Beautifully appointed rooms with modern Italian furniture. Coupons for breakfast and welcoming cheese platter. Food delicious. Staff extra helpful when I couldn't get my iPhone to recognize their in-house Wifi. I had a room in the back--those facing Douglas St. might be considerably noisier. I'll be back again!

Location, service, rooms -- all great. Very modern, bright hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Also, some nice perks included for a small hotel! Free cheese platter at the tapas lounge, fancy hot beverage and baked goodie in the morning at the coffee bar, and a dining credit to use towards food in the tapas lounge when you choose to... More

We had a wonderful experience at Hotel Rialto. The rooms were lovely, the lounge and bar were excellent and the service all around was fantastic. The location is so central that we found ourselves walking everywhere.

We're back again after a fantastic experience in February. This is now our "Hotel of Choice" when staying in Victoria. Service was again excellent and the bar area is still as vibrant as ever. We expect to be back again before the end of the year. Great location, great value!!

Hotel Rialto is located in the heart of downtown, close to City Hall, Chinatown, and a multitude of restaurants. Set back from the water, it's only a few blocks to the waterfront. Rialto's green initiative was a welcome bonus, that allows guests to forfeit daily room cleaning in exchange for a small reward. This hotel had great character and service,... More

Excellent location, although arriving on a Friday night gave us a rather negative introduction to Douglas St which has many "big city" problems in a smaller town. Able to walk/run to all the touristy and non-touristy interests in the area. Staff was very helpful, rooms clean, room view left much to be desired (sketchy alleyway) and there was noise from...

Our room was the smallest on the floor, but comfortable and exceptionally clean. Staff were warm, friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate recommending people stay here. I need to fill out a 200 character minimum, so this sentence will hopefully fulfill that obligation... :)
