David, the inn keeper, was exceptional. My wife and I had several pieces of heavy luggage and he was kind enough to heave them up the stairs for us. The breakfasts were great and the attention to detail....wonderful. The home itself is lovely. Nicely appointed and that old Victorian charm stands out. I would have rated this 5 stars except...

This little place is perfect location wise, not a littlest bit of complaint. We were able to walk from the BnB to Save On Foods Memorial Center in roughly 1/2 an hour. The room was exactly what we wanted at a price we could afford. David (the innkeeper) was friendly and inviting, and made the stay easy. We didn't need... More

Our stay was a splendid experience. We are used to staying at B&B's, but our first stay at the Humboldt House has spoiled us for others. It would now be difficult to travel to Victoria for a weekend without wanting to stay in this wonderfully appointed home. We were met by David and he gave us the choice of two... More

Loved having breakfast served to the room. Really enjoyed the jacuzzi tub and real wood burning fire. Location is great - walking distance to museums, restaurants, shopping, etc.. Sparkling wine and delicious chocolates upon arrival were a wonderful added touch. Would highly recommend this B&B.

Beautiful home -- on a quiet but central street -- filled with period decor and artwork. Sherry and home-made treats in the drawing room. Fresh flowers, truffles and sparkling wine waiting in the room. Huge jetted tub, fireplace ready to light, bathrobes in the closet. Amazing breakfasts. Gracious host. Be sure to purchase extra truffles to take home. Forget the... More

I had never done a "B&B" before - so I was quite anxious about what to expect. The "innkeeper", David, is amazing, and put any concerns I might have had instantly to rest. Our experience was exquisitely intimate and exceptionally positive. This is a great video from their Facebook Page that shows what you can expect during your stay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjFa1R-drCI&list=HL1360528373

One of my favorite places to have ever stayed. Truly beautiful. We enjoyed the Gazebo Room immensely. The ambiance was relaxing and romantic. The view was lovely. The sunken tub...need I really say more about it? The breakfast was delivered in a basket through a 2 way and the food was amazing. if you are a foodie, you will be... More

I can't stay enough wonderful things about this place! The innkeeper, David, is amazingly helpful and runs a great place. We stayed in the Edwards room. Beautiful room with fine decor. We had truffles and chilled bottle of sparkling wine waiting for us when we arrived. Roomy jacuzzi tub and very soft bedding. Breakfast at this bed and breakfast was... More

This is an excellent location for a trip to Victoria and the lower end of Vancouver Island. The rooms were clean and little touches such as the truffle were nice although probably not as important to us as others. Eating breakfast in the room was nice in some regards but I typically enjoy meeting the others at a B&B so... More

This was a wonderful B&B. David, the owner, is a phenomenal host. He was very gracious on check in and explained all about the Humboldt House. Helped with questions re the area as well. The room (Mikado) was lovely. Our breakfast was so special. We have pictures to remind us of the delicious food he made. We were also impressed... More
