Victoria and Vancouver Island Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Empress Hotel Victoria

Address 721 Government Street, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, V8W 1W5 Map, Tel 250 384 8111 Call, Website

The Historic Fairmont Empress hotel's castle-like appearance makes the perfect backdrop for a weekend fantasy about being a prince or princess. The hotel is well located and elegant, and has a heated indoor pool. Ask the concierge about kid-friendly activities. Standard rooms can be very small, and if your budget allows it you may want to inquire about one of the hotel's one or two bedroom suites. more

Hotel Grand Pacific Victoria

Address 463 Belleville Street, Victoria BC, V8V 1X3 Map, Tel 250-386-0450 Call, Website

The Hotel Grand Pacific is a reasonably priced choice for families who want a spacious suite. Its location, between the Victoria Clipper dock and the Royal BC museum is a great launching off spot for exploring Victoria. Family suites are spacious, and the hotel provides kids activities at checkin. Our room, and the hotel in general was spotless, and service was friendly, though the furnishings are starting to look a bit dated. There's also a large indoor pool where kids can burn any excess energy before bedtime more

Magnolia Hotel & Spa

Address 623 Courtney Street, Victoria, BC, V8W 1B8 Map, Tel 1-877-624-6654 Call, Website

The Magnolia Hotel & Spa offers family friendly accomodations in a luxury Boutique Hotel Setting. This hotel has a number of connecting rooms, with 1 King room adjoining to 1 room with 2 Queens. The King room offered a great view of the Parliament Buildings and Inner Harbour for my husband and I to enjoy the view while the kids slept.
The hotel location is perfect. It is located downtown, 1 block from the harbour, central to all shopping and restaurants in the downtown core.
All rooms include a great continental breakfast, including a waffle maker -- which the kids loved! more
