Located in the heart of the city and within walkable distance to all the Tourist attraction like the Inner Harbor and Fairmont Empress hotel, Royal BC Museum and Parliament Building. Excellent for Solo and Budget Travelers. Bus stop right around the corner to bring you from outside the Ferry stop and drop you. Bus will also take you to Butchart Garden (Must Try their AFTERNOON TEA for 50 bucks rate is double in EMPRESS HOTEL for the same) from here just get the Day pass for the Bus. Visit Victoria Public Market nearby for a great Indian Vegetarian Restaurant called Shashwat Indian. Visit Lunch Buffet Indian Restaurant called Curry Club walkable to Royal BC Museum. Walk on the GOVERNMENT STREET, nice gift and chocolate shops. Walk on Government Street to reach CHINATOWN and visit the FAN TAN ALLEY (Narrowest Alley), Try soup, dumplings from one of the local Chinese Restaurant, Take pics of the CHINATOWN gate. Fairmont Empress hotel needs to be visited in the day and looks different at night with all the lights. Enter the EMPRESS HOTEL from the SIDE ENTRANCE to go to the LOBBY for the photos and restroom. Take the Ferry in front of the EMPRESS HOTEL from the Harbor area. The tours and Hop on Hop off bus depart in front of the Empress hotel. The property has Excellent buffet style Breakfast and good homely dinner. Bar area is great with free drinks everyday and for purchase. Strongly recommend. Will Return.

I had a private room on the 4th floor. You can look the door two ways from the inside which might make you feel more safe (I felt safe anyways) the room was small but there were many options to store your things, a fridge and a big mirror on the wall. It had no ac but a fan in the window which provided fresh air and another fan (which I never used) the bed was comfortable, the sheets clean. You can borrow a towel and lock for $10 each (which you get back when you return it) and you can borrow a hair dryer. The bathroom was right outside my room and almost always available when I needed it. If not, I think there were 4 more bathrooms per floor. There is soap but no handdryer provided in the bathrooms so bring just your towel. The shower was clean, always had hot water and good pressure. The hostel provides breakfast and dinner which is basic but I was happy to have it and every dinner was vegan which was great for me! Also you get a free drink at the bar every night. And there is unlimited coffee or tea all day long. You can also store and prepare food in the shared kitchen. The staff was very nice and helpful. There where nice people of all ages staying there when I stayed. The area is good to walk everywhere.

The staff are always friendly and helpful. The bed (I always request a lower bunk because of my age) was very comfortable. Always enjoy both my glass of wine at night and the fun breakfast in the morning. It is always just enough. Interesting to meet travelers from everywhere. My only problem has been the City of Victoria's parking rules. I have solved it by finding less popular / off the main streets to park overnight......requires a walk of several blocks to hostel Dinner is always something to look forward to because never know what interesting meal may show up. I always enjoy my stay and really hope you can keep the location, the building, the routine, the price, the staff for a very long time

Amazing location for easy access to the city, good security measures, ample storage in a double-bed room with shared bathroom, rooms and bathrooms were very clean, great benefits for staying with them like breakfasts, dinners and drinks. Overall, a very comfortable, inexpensive, and friendly experience.

This place was a surprise. It is very central and close to everything. A few attractions are a short bus ride away. The staff here are cool level headed pros. Lana, the manager, Lexi, Bree, E, Nazeem, Mikayla, Mark, Lee and Ryan(Lana sons and summer intern) were great. They serve a breakfast of a fruit, cheese, protein, veggie and toast or waffles with condiments. Coffee, tea and juice are available. That also provide a simple evening meal of a soup or chowder with rice. Quite delicious and saves money eating out. Plus in the evening you get one free drink of wine, beer or soda.

The hostel was clean, well maintained and the beach inspired vista that you’re greeted with, is very fitting for Victoria! For the price I paid to stay, the value for money was great. They offer multiple breakfast options every morning, as well as two options for dinner, which are often soups or vegetarian curries or lentils. The bar serving a free evening drink was a great addition - you see very few hostels do this! Loved the Thursday Trivia night hosted by James, at the bar - he made us feel really welcome! The staff were really down to earth and accommodating, they helped me arrange a whale spotting tour, with no fuss. They offer multiple breakfast options every morning, as well as two options for dinner, which are often soups or vegetarian curries or lentils.

The go to place to stay for me if Im Backpacking in Victoria. 1. Helpful & Friendly Staff 2. Free breakfast, 1 Free Drink, Free Dinner included 3. Clean rooms, with lockers, Lockers are also provided in case of early arivals but later check in. So I dont need to carry my stuff until check in time. 4. Laundry is there 5. If renting a car you get percentages off with the carrental if you stayed in that hostel. 6. 5 spacious bathrooms available per floor. I always found one that wasn't occupied.
