I felt very welcome right away by night worker James and overall I would highly recommend this hotel. I enjoyed the room very much with a kitchenette and the comfortable bed where I was able to sleep very deeply. The room walls are nicely decorated with soft yellow stripes and white duvet's and bed sheets. This hotel would have suited... More

The hotel lobby and hotel rooms were renovated about a year ago and the pictures we have listed have not been embellished or photo shopped. I am sorry read that you did not have a quiet stay....

I really like this place! It's clean and well run. I had a nice room with a King size bed, flat screen TV and wifi / fridge / microwave / coffee machine. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Pretty close to DT. I would recommend.

I stayed here for two nights early this fall. Located on the Trans Canada highway, it was easy to find and close enough to downtown Victoria to walk, but also right on the city bus line. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. My suitcase broke and, not only did the manager help me open it, he recommended where I... More

I came into town on Halloween and stayed at the Arbutus Inn. The hotel is well located, the staff are friendly, and the rooms are clean. I enjoyed my stay and I will definitely stay again next time I am in town.
