Amethyst Inn

Would recommend for a small group of travelers, as it becomes more affordable. 2 bedroom partial harbor view. The harbor provided so much morning and evening enjoyment. Room was comfortable and clean and well maintained, if not overly fancy. Included daily cleaning. Three small drawbacks. One bedroom had terrible outlet access. Adding lamps with outlets would be most welcome. Access to the waterfront was unclear. A map with instructions would be great (water taxi stops right in front!). Shower water pressure was dismal, as is common, especially in buildings of a certain age. I'd definitely stay again!

This was one of the best places I have ever stayed in. Initial communications were excellent, with prompt replies to all queries. Free secure parking was very welcome. The suite was fabulous, super clean and with everything you could possible need in the kitchen, including very good cafetière coffee. The beds were extremely comfortable. But what really made it special was the fantastic views of the marina and Legislature building from the balcony. I would definitely stay here again, highly recommended!

This Waterfront Hotel & Suites made our first visit to Victoria, BC a most memorable trip in mid-September. Would describe the facility as more like a European "boutique hotel." Small, with only 80 units, 8 floors with 20+ units individually owned. Very quiet. On the harbor with fantastic views facing setting sun. Top floor is Penthouse level. Believe harbor view units were suites while units facing city were much smaller and more economical. If you can, go the "suites" they are worth the extra. Suites are very spacious at almost 1000 square feet, with separate bedroom, bathroom, living room, full equipped kitchen, large eating area, and plenty of closets and storage areas for luggage. Plenty of seating with dining room table and chairs, plus desk. But, what really makes this an exceptional property is the large, furnished balcony overlooking the harbor. Large 50" TV in living room, plus TV in bedroom. Extremely comfortable beds. Other amenities that standout: daily housekeeping, parking on premise, WiFi, 24/7 front desk, business center, wheel chair accessible, and friendly/helpful staff. One last thing that makes the Victoria Regent (one of) the best choice for your stay in Victoria is its close proximity to all of the best restaurants, sights without the "mash" of tourists. REMEMBER: LUXURY COMES AT A PRICE.
